Don't Forget There Were Other Confirmation Hearings Yesterday
Sorry I missed hearing live this gem from Senator Clinton yesterday during the Senate hearing to confirm Margaret Spellings as Education Secretary:
Spellings promised to work with Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), who complained that highly regarded schools in New York were becoming overcrowded because of a provision in the law that allows parents to transfer their children from unsuccessful schools to thriving ones. As a result, Clinton said, standards were also declining at the successful schools.
I almost forgot that liberals were supposed to look out for the disadvantaged and less fortunate.
