Frapster, you asked about Bennett for Superintendent of Public Instruction yesterday, and I was going to reply but the servers got clogged up.
I met Bennett at our GOP Club; he’s very energetic. Taught & coached at Scottsburg, where my wife is from. Very much not an NEA hack, as his opponent would be. Favors local choice in schools, and wants to reward success and punish failure instead of the union way. I’m confident with him in that post.
I did a ton of reading on him and it was a no brainer. His ideas may not be proven but I love them. Why not bring a free market approach to our schools? I think competition is good for the process. And I have no sympathy for the establishment where the education system is concerned. When I see the young vote breaking for liberal ideals right out of high school and college clearly something is way out of kilter. I just voted for a guy in running for our school board here in Noblesville - he’s about to get an earful about what this constituent expects to keep my vote.
The more I read about his opponent and her union involvement the more I knew it was a no-brainer.
