why American schools are floundering on their road to nowhere? Part of it can be explained by Pop culture sucking minds dry...but American Pop culture permeates other countries who still have leaders that know a book from a bathroom.

Is it true, you think, that the kinds of politicins we've had for the lst 30 years want a highly educated bunch of 18year olds graduating EVERY year from colleges and high schools? Think so?

Think they place great resources and importance in schools...teacher salaries, class size, materials, school safety and construction and maintenance..think so?

The elite levels of government and industry don't require 7689 brilliant rocket scientists...five will do...and those can be got from Groton and Harvard and from the ranks of the rich or almost rich...mostly White Protestants.

What they DO need is a large underclass of dummies with degrees so they don't THINK they are dummies and have too much "pride" in their diplomas to ever have to learn another things.

And after the public school system has been "softened" up enough...along come school vouchers cause those schools are doing SO bad...and who can argue that a little god-fearing private education is a bad thing..to save all those youngsters the horrors of a FAILED school system no one seems able to save, though they don't try much...thrashing around is NOT work...implementing one hare-brained scheme after every ill-conceived one is NOT reform.

It's those god people folks...this has been a windfall for them..an unexpected way to gut the Constitution just a Leeetle bit...a teeeeny bit...that will reap HUGE rewards later..when all those Christian thugs and thugettes grow up and have little thuggies...who will grow entirley in the smothering embrace of Our Holy of the Rolys God In Your Bedroom Church. There'll be enough ofthem eventually to maybe amend the Constitution..get all that silly business about equality of the sainted with the SINNERS...and you'll know who those will be...

Here's a minor setback on that glorious road BACK to the Dark Ages we've gottena wee taste of....

Fla. Voucher Law Ruled Unconstitutional

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - A Florida law that allows students at failing public schools to attend private schools at taxpayers' expense is unconstitutional, a state appeals court ruled Monday.

The decision by the 1st District Court of Appeal upholds a ruling by a trial judge saying the state constitution forbids the use of tax money to send youngsters to religious schools.

The law has been in force during the state's appeal, which now goes to the Florida Supreme Court (news - web sites).

Under the 1999 law, the centerpiece of Gov. Jeb Bush's education policies, students attending public schools that earn failing grades two years out of four are eligible for vouchers to private schools, including religious schools.

In 2002, the U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) swept aside a major hurdle to voucher programs, ruling that such uses of tax dollars do not violate the separation of church and state required by the U.S. Constitution.

But in his ruling months later, the trial judge said the program violates the state constitution, which bans the use of tax dollars on religious schools.

..."Wallll sheeyit...jes git rid on them old stupid Constipation thangs and let the good lord in heaven do 'er. T'was good nuff fer Jesus...good nuff fer me AND you...less'n you be a gol durned Aunty Christ! Which, if'n you is...you best watch out...praise the Lord."
