[Rhodes22-list] Reduce your federal income tax (political humor)

[3drecon at comcast.net]

The education system in this country has been in the clutches of the Democrats for years, speficially the NEA and AFT.  A majority of the teachers in this country are liberals.  Jimmy Carter's Dept. of Education hasn't helped and, as a matter of fact, things have become worse since the creation of that leviathan.  Who is responsible for the deplorable condition of education in this country?
