Aimed at poor kids, doesn't he want poor kids to do better in math and science?

| Conservative Christians want more taxpayer money so lets give them vouchers. We have an election to Win! |
Education Secretary Margaret Spelling couldn't be bothered to read the report, but did feel qualified to put it down and ignore it. Another Bush administration members discounted the findings as a "snapshot it time", apparently unaware that previous studies have had the same results. Pretty soon they'll make up a whole album all showing public schools doing a better job at math and science, which is widely agreed to by what Americans need to do their best at.
The report also found that conservative Christian schools -- a constituency that supports vouchers -- lagged significantly behind public schools in eighth-grade math. The report supported similar findings from a University of Illinois study on math.
There are lots of conservative Christian Schools, and most of them already getting faith based charity money, but now they want more.
Also conservative Republicans detest the Teachers Unions and think that the nice men and ladies that teach your kids are trying to turn them into socialists. Also they suspect that teachers might even do the worst thing on earth, contribute and vote Democratic! Horrors. The teachers unions must go!
I don't know about you, but I'm tired of every policy decision from the Republicans in Washington being about who contributes to their coffers, who votes for them and who might vote for them if they pass them a scam program.
Things used to be about all Americans, not just the Republican's little sects.
