I heard her speech earlier today, or at least snippets on FNC today, and it sounded like she was losing her voice like she had laryngitis or a sore throat or some thing like that.
Actually, I think this is the best criticism of vouchers I have heard (I am in favor of vouchers). How do we prevent Muslims from forming their own Jihadi Univ. and using vouchers to fund it?
The liberal media is not nearly as mighty as it used to be.
We can't prevent any religion from forming religion-based schools.
We can prohibit schools from promoting illegal activities.
I do not know the numbers, but I remember reading that many of the rich DUmmies send their kids to private schools.
"Do as I say, not as I do" attitude.
Dear Hillary, it's none of your damn business if a PARENT wants to send their child to "the School of the Jihad"! You moron! Their tax dollars pays for it, NOT YOU, you out of control *itch! But keep talking, PLEASE!

Two political contributions were made with WTU dues, a violation of federal law. One, of $9,000, went to the Democratic National Committee, the other, of $2,000, went to Hillary Clinton's 2000 election campaign. Both returned the money when informed of its origin by AFT.
* National Center on Education and the Economy, of which Hillary was a board member prior to becoming first lady.
* The National Center on Education and the Economy (NCEE) is a nonprofit research and training organization that develops policies and tools and provides the professional development and technical assistance that schools, districts, and states need to implement comprehensive programs of standards-based education and training.

Bill Clinton told the NEA candidate screening panel in December 1991: "If I become president, you'll be my partners. I won't forget who brought me to the White House."
Clinton kept his promise, and in 1993 while addressing the NEA delegates, Clinton thanked the NEA for "the gift of our assistant secretary." Clinton was making reference to former NEA staffer Sharon Robinson who became the U.S. Assistant Secretary of Education for the Office of Educational Research and Improvement. "I believe that the president of this organization [Keith Geiger] would say we have had the partnership I promised in the campaign in 1992."

One of the NEA's formative leaders, John Dewey, an avowed humanist socialist, was made honorary president of the NEA in 1932. In 1933, Dewey was one of the signers of the "Humanist Manifesto."
John Dewey, who traveled to Russia in the 1930s to help organize and implement the Marxist educational system there, today is known in America as the "Father of Progressive Education." In 1935, Dewey became the president of the League of Industrial Democracy, which was originally called the Intercollegiate Socialist Society.
In 1940, a California Senate Committee was assembled to investigate how various foundations were using their resources to promote certain philosophies and control teacher training. The committee discovered that the Rockefeller Foundation had spent millions of dollars rewriting current history books and creating new history books that undermined patriotism and a free enterprise system.
The California committee was shocked to discover that the curriculum, which was funded by the Rockefellers and promoted by the NEA, taught socialist ideas. The committee stated:
It is difficult to believe that the Rockefeller Foundation and the National Education Association could have supported these textbooks. But the fact is that the Rockefellers financed them and the NEA promoted them very widely.
Why would the NEA promote the removal of traditional history from our schools? If children do not know where they came from, they will not know where they are headed. Karl Marx said, "Take away the heritage of a people and they are easily persuaded."
The NEA has actively promoted the United Nations and its global education plan. The United States version is called Goals 2000.
The NEA's main objective has always been to assume national political power and control much more than education.
The NEA has publicly boasted of its plan to seize control of the agencies and boards that decide who is allowed to teach and what is to be taught. The NEA has become the most powerful special-interest group in the United States. Their lobbying has brought about a 17-fold increase in federal education spending in the last 20 years.
What does the NEA – the most powerful union and special-interest group in the United States – plan to do with all this power?
The NEA strongly supports hiring of homosexual teachers. The NEA believes that union contracts with local school boards should require all teachers to pay dues or fees to the union. The NEA is opposed to merit pay for teachers. The NEA is opposed to voluntary prayer in schools. The NEA opposes tuition tax-credit legislation. The NEA is opposed to the use of school facilities after school for voluntary religious meetings. The NEA opposes any effort to amend the Constitution requiring a balancing of the federal budget. The NEA favors socialized medicine. The NEA spent millions of dollars in 1992 to elect Bill Clinton president and supported other liberal candidates for Congress.
In 1971, the NEA publication, "Schools for the '70s and Beyond: A Call to Action," the NEA declares:
Teachers who conform to the traditional institutional mode are out of place. They might find fulfillment as tap-dancers, or guards in maximum security prisons or proprietors of reducing salons, or agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation – but they damage teaching, children and themselves by staying in the classroom.
In 1970, the then-president of the NEA, George Fischer, told NEA representatives during an assembly. "A good deal of work has been done to begin to bring about uniform certification controlled by the unified profession in each state ... With these new laws, we will finally realize our 113-year-old dream of controlling who enters, who stays and who leaves the profession. Once this is done, we can also control the teacher training institutions."
