From Rothstein:

…the program also advertises how drastically Florida starves public special-education programs of adequate financing.

Richard, the truth is that your column advertises how the NYT starves its readers by not providing accurate and complete information.

BTW, did you and Dan Rather happen to attend the same school? What is it with you two guys? Can't your employers afford to hire fact-checkers? Or are the NYT and CBS just some rinky-dink news organizations? That's what you folks reduce yourselves to when you make no effort whatsoever to disclose to readers the actual FACTS. Here are some links and info, below, to help you out:

Thanks. And, no, it is solely for posting on FR. If anyone wants to send it anywhere, feel free. I prefer to remain the private person I am. Thanks again for your post.

Yeah, a little too sarcastic for the letters to the editor of the NYT, but your passion is evident!

I guess this math -- requiring someone who can count all the way up to 3 -- is too advanced...
