A gentler approach to disagreements regarding issues is generally, the better approach.

But to this bill? Absolutely not. Tea Parties and other conservative groups were being pressured into supporting this bill, with no discussion or opportunity to voice or develop their own opinion. Therefore, Christopher Friends hardball approach was warranted and even necessary to generate debate and further thought regarding a bill which is extremely flawed. His piece is informative, powerful and persuasive. AND he 's been working on the issue for 18 years.

I agree with you that the race card should never be played on the right or the left, however.

This is a bad bill, that will help only a small percentage of PA students. That PA ranks 42 in SAT scores means the situation for children in PA is critical, and something must be done to help MOST of them NOW, especially when Republicans, AT THIS TIME, have the power to do it.
