Vote for Kerry
RECEIVED Mon., Sept. 27, 2004
To the Editor,
Bush says he's the education president – but the results show a different picture.
Bush's "leave no child behind" plan is not being funded properly. The result is that he has punished schools rather than rewarding them.
He has not responded to the needs of our local school districts and has failed to provide proven methods – like sending educational teams into failing schools – to help with the funding they deserve. And during Bush's term, tuition at public colleges and universities has gone up 35%.
Kerry promises to establish a National Education Trust Fund to ensure that our schools have the funds they need to succeed and the accountability measures in the educational program.
Kerry's plan for our schools includes recruiting and training 500,000 new teachers. He'll make sure 1 million more students graduate high school. And he'll make sure college is affordable.
We've had four years of failed policies. I want all Americans to get equal rights and the education they deserve. I plan to vote for John Kerry.
