I think you're missing the point, Breukelen.

It's not about free tutoring. But if it is, where's the money to pay for it? Every single one of W's budgets have underfunded his own initiative.

It's about the fact that kids are being screwed by not getting even a minimally expansive education. How are Americans to compete in a growing technologically-dependent marketplace when they aren't even being taught science?

The smartass in me wants to say that W just doesn't want those who finished elementary school to be smarter than his dumbass, but I honestly don't think he or anyone else cares.

This will be our downfall.
