I’m still trying to wrap my head around the “problem” you mentioned that we can’t let parents be in charge because so many of them would screw up.
Newt says lots of things. He will send education back to the states, but also has a full-page of detailed plans for how states will be required to give parents tax dollars to spend at local schools. Or was that just a suggestion that the schools could freely reject?
I’m trying not to comment on Gingrich. I’m trying to stick to saying nice things about Santorum in Santorum threads. So I don’t want to tear down his “plan”, even though someone else brought it up in this thread.
Well, maybe you could visit Detroit, NYC, DC, or any large inner city housing project... that would probably speak to your head-wrapping dilemma...
I didn’t mean to be derisive to you, I just feel the republican party has no understanding or awareness of some of the deep problems in this country, outside their base... and it is a shame because what they have to offer is the exact prescription the innercity child needs to hear, but they never deal with the nasty nitty gritty of the now and now, just principles and platitiudes - just a major problem I have with republicans and conservatives...
