I have long said that Democrats WANT to keep the schools a mess - it gets them votes in the long run.
And this bears repeating:
For the thousandth time, the facts contradict liberal prejudice. According to statistics compiled from the Gallup Report and the New York Times, the less education one has, the more likely she or he is to vote Democrat (assuming that the person can figure out the ballots in Florida).
They overwhelmingly vote Democrat, but they can't give you a reason why.
