Sadly, it is the very system that the liberal organizations support that is destroying their kids. Here in Seattle nearly half of the public school teachers send their kids to private school. They know the truth and won't experiment with their own kids. However, they (and their union) are content to have other people's kids in a failed system.
As for the journalism angle - most of our journalists today are lazy and liberal. The journalism schools are a joke and everyone on campus knows it's the way to get an easy degree. (The only other equally laughable degree program is education.)
Thanks for posting this, summer. It's fascinating and explains so much.
I would be fascinated to see the real statistics on that. Being a teacher, I really doubt they could afford private schools for their children.
