then why do you want to involve Big Brother and all his strings?

On the contrary, I am anti-voucher and want government out of the education business. I simply fail to see how an atheist spokesman can call Bush's praising of Catholic schools for having high academic standards "false and misleading". The spokesman apparently thinks that high standards are a "luxury" public schools cannot adopt , implying that parochial schools have some sort of unfair advantage. That parochial schools choose not to set the bar as pathetically low as the public schools is neither false nor misleading. It is a fact. The "luxury" that public schools do enjoy, in almost every case, is a much larger financial resource base(taxes) to draw from. Given this distinct advantage, one is left to wonder, "Why is public education such a miserable failure?'
