NYTIMES education watch column delivers an eye-opener on Democrats and public education

The New York Times continues to amaze for its unbiased and accurate examination of this nation on its news pages.

The following education watch column is fantastic, and it challenges Democrats to put their rhetoric where their children are educated. Two of Nashville's most prominent Democrats, Phil Bredesen and Karl Dean, have all kinds of ideas of experimenting with public education. But when it came to their choices of where they put their kids in school, it was affluent private academies all the day.

It was the same for Al Gore, while George W. Bush's kids went to Texas public schools.

I can't reiterate the old Rodney Dangerfield joke when he was looking at a restaurant's front window asking people to come in for the great food: "Hey, if the good is so great, why is the cook going out to eat for lunch. Hey, I don't any respect.

Neither do public school children and their parents from the Democratic Party.
