"The left is pounding the drum on public education. The state of Pennsylvania is taking over the school system in Philadelphia because the Philly school boards can't cut it. And the reason they can't cut it is because there is little pressure on teachers and students to perform. In the past 10 years, the amount of money the government spends on public education has risen 50 percent to nearly $650 billion a year -- an astounding sum. Yet test scores in many states remain stagnant, and in the inner cities, the situation is often a disaster. But the left -- led by the teachers' unions -- wants even more money from the government. Instead of reorganizing and insisting on across-the-board discipline and special tutorial classes for kids who are at risk, the school boards, in general, are fighting desperately to keep the patronage system chugging along. It is a national disgrace."

Why Did The Huntsville City Schools Superintendent Conduct a Survey?

Because she wanted to find out how much school officials needed to campaign to secure the tax increase! She plans to have employees, funded by your tax dollars, campaign to raise your taxes!
