in this week's Newsweek, there is an article called ``The Hidden Success Story.'' It is about America's efforts to assist in diversifying the Mexican economy and make good economic friends of our neighbors to the south. And the article concludes with these words: Keep faith with those who are struggling to do the right thing. Bill Clinton may have received little credit for it in the United States, but his rescue of the peso places him, and not Washington conventional wisdom, on the right side of history. For a century American Presidents have blustered about being good neighbors to the rest of the Americas. Clinton, first in Haiti and now in Mexico, has shown more leadership and less arrogance in the struggle for hemispheric progress than any previous representative of the Colossus of the North. When in about 20 years that too becomes conventional wisdom, remember, you read it here first.

This idea that to avoid direct competition of local schools, and perhaps even ban charter schools altogether as a scholarly option is absurd.
