Learning Curve
As students in California walked out in protest yesterday against cuts to education, the learning curve for Day of Action observers notched up a bit. As we are learning in the battle for universal health care, the right to an education is impaired not by a budget crisis, but by a corruption crisis. Were the state and especially federal governments to focus on eliminating corruption, there would be plenty of money for health and education. Letting politicians off the hook for their betrayal is not a lesson we should teach our kids; to their credit, they seem to get that.
