A Stern Message to the Education Party
?I think we [Democrats] are a stale party of ideas. We can?t talk about education. We can?t discuss when it is failing our members? (children) in public schools in urban areas. You know, we?re the experiment. Maybe vouchers aren?t the only answer, but then what is? I?m tired of hearing if we just pay teachers more, you know, life will be terrific. It?s a huge problem.?
Which right wing ideologue muttered these words? Why, it'd be SEIU cheif Andrew Stern, speaking openly to the Washington Post. Historians will note that Stern has never had a shortage of unique takes, such as endorsing Howard Dean for President (before rescinding it, of course).
