Reply #192: This can't be blamed on partisan politics, opi

While the RW has made it their publicly unstated goal to destroy public education (for political reasons, mostly), the Democrats have failed on this front too. Both parties have championed a society that values wealth production and militarism over all else. The end result is that we have decided, as a society, to invest in these areas rather than in our most precious resource, our children.

I'm not talking about school funding alone here, either. I'm talking about the broader societal issues that directly affect childhood development and learning environment. It's the age-old problem of the two major parties to play political football with an issue by just tinkering around the edges, rather than addressing the root problems.
