Elite prep schools - complete with heavy public subsidies - for those who can afford it; dilapidated, African-style "schools" for the rest (which of course would do nothing but run mind-numbing tests all year long).

Thank you, Thom Hartmann, for keeping this key issue at the forefront.

This is incongruent with long-established Democratic Party values, just as privatizing SS,
or eliminating Medicare would be.

We are Democrats facing a Conservative-fascist assault on our values
in this election.

We ALL can agree on the sanctity of PUBLIC Ed staying PUBLIC, unequivocally.
