You may remember back in January that ABC News aired a special program of 20/20 with John Stossel called "Stupid in America." It tore back the curtain of public school to graphically reveal a few of it's disastrous failings.
The network has decided to rebroadcast that show on Friday, September 1 at 10:00 PM Eastern & Pacific. - FOR MOST OF YOU, THAT'S TOMORROW! -
If you missed it before, please tune in. This is one of the truly great critiques of government involvement in school, because it uses the visual media so effectively.
If you saw it, I don't need to tell you it was effective. I just need to remind you to grab a friend by the arm and get them to see it too. And while their confidence is melting, why don't you send them right over to our new web site: www.SchoolandState.org
Questions are sure to follow such an exposé. The Alliance's web site is just the place to look for practical insights and the deep answers that get behind the issues
One important note: While John Stossel does a masterful job exposing the problem, the Alliance does not agree with a solution that leaves the government in charge of the flow of money. Even his carefully selected example of Belgium is buckling to government control over private schools because the government still handles the money.
Sincerely,
Alan Schaeffer
President, Alliance for the Separation of School & State
