Competition is the only way public schools will make positive changes to improve education. Parents need real choice with vouchers and charter schools being the answer. The President's rhetoric doesn't match his actions. I agree that keeping people undereducated is the way liberals will remain in power. I think the conservative movement is finally beginning to say "No more". Since January, hope has disappeared, change is happening but not in the way many people envisioned.

Instead, we see proven opportunity crushed under the pressure of union power. When proven opportunity threatens the union power base, the union speaks and "guess who" listens. The voters have been betrayed. When people voted for "change", they were "hoping" that the kinds of successes these charter schools produce would be multiplied and extended.

How's that hope and change working out for you? The elitists in DC concerns are rooted in the belief that an ignorant citizenry serves their elitist's best.

Of course, what does that say for the majority of the public school systems? Why are the leftists so afraid of competition if their real concern is the students? It is far time that a future president has the courage to abolish the Department of Education. States and local communities should have the purview on education. The voucher programs work – period.
