Palin vs. Corruption

everfaith

How about that Palin?  Though you won’t see it on CNN’s website, she drew a crowd of 60,000 to a small retirement community north of Orlando this weekend.  That’s a six with four zeros behind it.  Didn’t Obama draw 85,000 when he accepted the nomination in front of a pseudo-Greek temple?  Read the article here.

Education — education is the civil rights issue of this century. Equal access to public education has been gained, but what is the value of access to a failing school? We need…We need to shake up failed school bureaucracies with competition, empower parents with choice. Let’s remove barriers to qualified instructors, attract and reward good teachers, and help bad teachers find another line of work. When a public school fails to meet its obligations to students, parent — when it fails to meet its obligations to students, parents deserve a choice in the education of their children. And I intend … Continue reading The Educator’s Candidate
