Grudgingly, I admit that Teresita has a point. The real problem is how to get citizens to understand that we have to draw a line somewhere beyond which it is not healthy for government to take and to intrude. The most critical shortcomings of our society are education and media, which are pretty much owned by all the various Leftist groups. Lacking balance in how they present our national narrative, a huge fraud is perpetrated upon the public – and much of the public does not even know it.

There is no substitute for an informed, well-educated, and engaged citizenry. And in order to get there we have to allow citizens to have choice in how and where their children are educated. The teachers and professors unions are strangling the country. It is imperative that a legal battle be waged on behalf of a voucher system. Otherwise, the NEA will accomplish its task of destroying the nation.
