Re: Fw: Terrorists in our schools?

Monty,

Is it your intention to make ARN-L an arm of the Democratic party?  I
trust that Fairtest is not tax exempt, nor are donations made to it.

              Teachers Are Terrorists, Says Bush Education Secretary
              Dear 

              This week, Bush's Education Secretary Rod Paige shocked
the nation when he compared America's teachers to terrorists. In a
closed-door meeting with the nation's governors, Secretary Paige
referred to the National Education Association, which represents 3
million teachers, as a "terrorist" organization.

              The shocking comparison came as the Bush administration
struggles to defend its broken promises to fully fund the No Child Left
Behind Act. State governments, faced with education budgets that are
stretched to the limit, are revolting against the administration for
abandoning our children.

              TV ALERT! 

              Don't miss Chairman McAuliffe on this week's Fox News
Sunday. Check your local listings for times and channel.
              In Utah and Virginia, Republican-controlled state
legislatures have passed (by wide margins) resolutions to opt out of No
Child Left Behind if President Bush continues to break his promises to
America's families. And those are just two of the growing number of
states worried that they can't afford to meet the stringent requirements
of NCLB if Bush continues to underfund the law in his budgets.

              Take Action
              Secretary Paige crossed the line when he compared the
nation's teachers to terrorists. The administration is trying to shift
the blame for its failures and broken promises, but our children deserve
results, not excuses.

Paige to resign for his vile comments and the Bush administration's
failure to keep its promise to leave no child behind.

              Would Paige Put Nation's Teachers on Terrorist List?
              The State Department keeps a list of foreign terrorist
organizations, the worst criminals in the world. Current members include
al Qaeda, Hamas, Shining Path, and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of
Colombia.

              Would Secretary Paige add the names of 3 million teachers
of America's children to that list?

              Quote of the Week
              "I am sure the 163,000 factory workers who have lost
their jobs in Michigan will find it heartening to know that a world of
opportunity awaits them in high growth manufacturing careers like
spatula operator, napkin restocking, and lunch tray removal."

              Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) in a letter to Bush economic
adviser Gregory Mankiw questioning the administration's suggestion that
fast foot jobs should be listed as manufacturing. Read the full letter
