Reply #4: Florida's Kill the Public School Programs [View All]

[soup]

roll on.

The Palm Beach Post has a series of articles investigating the voucher shenanigans dating from April of last year.

As far as I'm concerned, they could have started in 2000, when John Kirtley made the Florida Republican top donors list with $105,000.00 -and an agenda- that's turned into an $88,000,000.00 a year pocket-lining fiasco with very little oversight.

It's difficult for me to have a rational, calm discussion about the voucher programs in Florida and the way they're run because what appears to me to be the systematic dismantling of public education in Florida just makes me livid.

The good news is, this Senator Ron Klein is fighting the insanity every step of the way. Seems like whenever there's another scandal or question, his name pops up as one of the good guys.

I'll admit the National School Boards Association is not exactly the least biased organization in the world, but there are some good studies and articles in this list found at their site.
