In just the few days since this ad was produced, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the Club for Growth (via Red Sea, a company headed by a former Tom DeLay associate) have authorized several hundred thousand dollars more in attack ads against Larry Grant. Clearly, the GOP is very worried about losing this seat. Vote for integrity and independence. Vote for Larry Grant.

What a thoughtful comment. This race is taking place in Idaho.

I agree. We need to stop running the schools for the benefit of the teachers' union and start running it for the benefit of the student, their parents and the teachers. Kids will work up to or down to their expectations. Trouble is, expectations have been consistently lowered the last 30 years for fear of making kids feel bad about themselves. You know, if you're flunking 5 subjects, maybe you should feel bad about yourself.

That does not happen by "letting alone." OUR freedom is to love those people that would otherwise feel despair. It's the responsibility of the larger COMMUNITY to welcome these smaller comminities in despair. So I do not suggest throwing money at them will solve things; rather a change in mentality towards those we presume as lazy (they are feeling hopeless!) is necessary.

Students there have no hope for success, not because they have no intrinsic potential, but nearly all forces around them have told them that they have no chance, whether it be the color of their skin, or their financial situation, or whatever. They have as a community lost hope and it is that mentality that must change.

I did not say education was free. We all pay for the same education, yet we get varying implementations with varying degrees of success. Your case of 70 kids in 1 classroom was different from situations I have seen firsthand as a teacher in an inner city myself.
