She sleeps the sleep of a child, and when she awakens to a living nightmare of poverty, despair and ignorance.

Yes. Support school choice!

That's one thing the NEA was able to take out of No Child Left Behind when it came to non- public schools thanks to some of our Republican Congress members votes.

I caught part of the Sixty Minutes Broadcast last night. It was about a man named Geoffery Canada and his Harlem Children's Zone. It was very inspiring and he was very forthright in saying his school could not work in the Public School System because of Unions (NEA take a bow).
He stated that he fired 3 teachers which was probably more than was fired in the entire island of Manhatten.

One very telling scene showed parents waiting to see if their children would get a slot in the school. Space is limited so selecting students is done by lottery. These parents know how the public school system has failed their children. They are the ones who awake everyday to the reality of poverty and crime. Yet you don't see them bashing NCLB. Instead you see them holding onto the hope that their child will be given a chance to escape the very altar on which NEA is willing to sacrifice their children.
