The Community needs to come together for Public Education


Irony and Insanity come to Fruition in the Pa Senate

The Senate Education Committee voted to continue down the path of irony and insanity by passing Senate Bill 1.  It is now rapidly careening down the path of self destruction and calling the proposed school voucher bill an “opportunity scholarship”.
The bill, intended to help the state’s poorest children from the lowest-performing schools by providing options of attending other public, private or parochial schools, did not pass the committee without debate.  The troubling issues that many of us have discussed, including constitutionality, religious freedom and the cost to public schools were sticking points for two members of the committee.www.adpoldtimeimmigrant.blogspot.com
