Reno's "failure of leadership" remark could apply to her own party, which, during the many years it controlled state politics, allowed the public schools to deteriorate to the point where they became a laughing stock.

Heavens!! This reminds me of the time, many, many moons ago, when the Sun-Sentinel was a conservative paper, in a conservative Broward County. I guess people do want their kids to get an education after all!!
