Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

The only reason I can think of is that they want to demonstrate the proof of the nonequivalence of the sets of horses and horses-asses. In any event, you've gone from yawning to burping back to yawning. I suppose next you'll be farting. But I hope you'll save that for a more appropriate forum, like Teacher Ken's session at daily kos or the FairTest annual meeting, Art -----Original Message----- From: PRISCILA GUTIERREZ <pgutpgut@msn.com> To: arn-l@interversity.org Sent: Sun, 22 Jul 2007 7:34 pm Subject: Re: [arn-l] the education trust's disinformation campaign So why do people keep trying?

Well, er, ah, in the original legislation voucher provisions existed. They Kennedycame into play after a school failed to make AYP for 3 years. triedbalked. Bush compromised and took SES instead, but John Boehner to reinsert vouchers on six separate occasions. forAfter a voucher-less NCLB passed, Bush introduced a voucher program a half-dozen cities. The Dems rejected this. Bush limited his voucher efforts to DC and Dems rejected that four times, even though Dianne Feinstein switched her vote (saying she would NEVER vote for vouchers in operativesCalifornia). The DC voucher program passed only after Bush rejected,attached it to a $378 billion omnibus spending bill which, if would have shut down government a la Newt Gingrich and they knew how THAT played out. I think it's a stalking horse for vouchers? Silly me.
