But it's not the lack of $20/yr that's creating this situation. It's the politically correct crapola from the NEA that's doing that. 50 years ago, we actually had educational standards. Students were taught reading, writing, arithmetic, history (real history instead of the political rewrites common now), civics, etc.

The pedagogists think it's more important that the child have a positive self-image, be "green" and not be judgmental about drug users, homosexuals, multisexuals, etc. than to know how to construct a sentence properly, do basic math or understand how our form of government actually works.

We spend more and get less from our educational system than any other nation on the face of the earth. Apparently most Coloradans understood that means the amount of taxation and spending for "education" has no direct correlation to the educational level of our students. Also apparently, you don't understand that.
