Reviewing his 1/9/18 column, one has to wonder if E. Scott Cracraft intentionally tries to mislead readers, if he just doesn’t care about children getting a decent start in life, if he’s blind to public education’s failures, or if he is afraid that children, educated outside of public schools, might learn to think for themselves and reject his progressive beliefs … or all of the above.
Cracraft suggests that the public hasn’t adequately supported public education, but that’s false! Public education costs have skyrocketed. Citizens have responded to public education demands for decades: more money, more teachers, computers, smaller class sizes, etc. Nevertheless public education fails to deliver decent educational opportunities to many students.

I forgot about these morons while on hiatus bathing in the warmth and the sun with good company and cocktails. But now that I’m back and settling into the groove, I’m reminded that we’re surrounded by misguided, ignorant hyperventilating morons.
