What a wonderful article about Jeb Bush. Thanks for posting it. I appreciate the Bush brothers' commitment to education and to children tremendously, and I've appreciated the many articles that you've posted. Please keep it up. I work teaching reading to at-risk students, and I couldn't be a stronger supporter of the Governor and President's push for standards and accountability in public education! I chuckled, too, when I read in the article that Gov. Bush explained to the student that his history book was incorrect in its explanation of the contras. The bias in middle and high school history books today is unbelievable. I helped choose a 20th century history text for middle school, and we had a very hard time finding one that even came close to being balanced and accurate. Lynne Cheney is correct that we need to read and discuss history with our children in order to provide them with the true version.
