A Lesson to Be Taught

From Bill Markin, over at American Thinker:

"Our educational system has become a money pit where funding levels bear no relationship to results. No, the simple truth is that they've earned this exalted status not as a reward for excellence but through extortion, by coercive collective bargaining, a monopoly status that fosters inefficiency, waste and mediocrity, and making generous contributions of time and money to a political party that has become little more than an operating arm of the teacher and other public employee unions."

Read the whole article, it is excellent!
