I have to say this governor has done more -- FAR more -- to improve the lives of all students, including minorities. One Florida, A+, Just Read, FL!, a new school code, three voucher programs, and new laws including laws prohibiting social promotion and penalizing school districts for continuing this practice -- all these programs have an enormous impact on education.

The results are not all in at this time; however, there is no way an honest person could deny this governor, a moniker he has worked for so hard and clearly earned: Jeb Bush, FL's Education Governor.

These kids may be illegal, they maybe legal citizens born to illegal parents, they may be citizens born to citizens. I don't like the fact that kids born here are automatic citizens (but it is the law). I think illegals should be deported. I'm a real hard case.

But, I gotta say that every kid who is going to grow up here, needs to be educated to become more than dishwashers or field workers. How else are they going to earn enough to support us baby boomers when we retire? This acheivement shows it can be done. Kudos to Jeb.
