There are three education amendments on the ballot this year. The one I think your cousin is referring to is the one to mandate a reduction in class size. Obviously, this is a really popular amendment from the Teachers' Union's point of view. It's also astronomically expensive, estimated at $20 - $27.5 billion. Bush has, IMHO correctly, opposed it. Education in Florida is a big issue in this election and I'm inclined to agree with your cousin, Bush is on the defensive.
