The editorial the governor responded to can be found here: http://www.nytimes.com/2002/06/19/education/19LESS.html

Keep up the writing, Governor

At least Jeb is solid on social issues like school choice - unlike his brother.

Jorge Bush wimped out in the face of the NEA and Ted Kennedy. Jeb stood up to them. I hope Jorge announces he isn't running in 2004 "so he can spend more time with his family" - and I hope Jeb takes his place.

Jackboot Janet Reno's "girlfriend" - the issue she fears will hit Florida talk radio!

Not allowing kids to find ways out of failed schools (and schools which have been failing for decades) is one of the most immoral stands ever taken by the Democratic party. Well, wait, I forgot about supporting partial birth abortion (murdering perfectly formed and healthy full term babies) and trying to force the Boy Scouts to put homosexual men in charge of (other people's) teenage boys on overnight camping trips, and forcing kids to take bilingual education against their parents' wishes, etc. etc. etc. But the most amazing part of this whole debate was when Clinton and Gore decided to send their own kids to private schools, while denying millions of others the same opportunity.

Check out this letter from Gov Jeb Bush to the Editor of the NYT. The NYT article Jeb is referring to is linked in post #4 (see lower half of that 2-article post). And, please thank walrus954 for this wonderful post! :)

You get the NY Times? Good job, if it's strictly for research purposes. LOL Now I'll go read your fine post. Good find. Imagine that. The NYT is attempting to get involved in the Florida Governor's race. HMMMMMM.

Someday, Jeb WILL be the POTUS and your humble fellow FR member lives in Florida. Will that do? FV

I checked out the girlfriend url. And, it appears Bishop was seven degrees of separation from Sister McLaughlin who helped steal Elian from the arms of his Florida family. McLaughlin is a Castro sympathizer IMO. Wasn't that fairly well documented here at FR?

Stritctly for research... what better way to find out what the dems are up to? Lol. I like the NYT most times (I just stopped reading the editorials... there's no reasoning witht those people), but I get on FR afterwards and they balance each other out.

As it turns out, the woman Rothstein wrote about -- who allegedly lost her chance to have her child continue in a private school on a voucher, after the private school raised it tuition -- in fact placed her child in yet another private school, again, on a voucher. Rothstein conveniently omitted that part, in addition to omitting other material FACTS (that I pointed out).

And, I agree with you earlier comment to me elsewhere -- the point that vouchers can be used for public schools as well is a point I wish had been made. I think Gov Bush should have added it to his letter, because obviously, not one person reading the NYT would ever know that fact about vouchers used for better public schools.

I don't think Rothstein would be inclined to "correct" his "mistakes" if I ever wrote to him, but I am hoping his editors passed along Gov Bush's pithy letter! :)
