There are so many things that could be said about the SOTU speech last night but with little time to write I thought I would comment on the one I found most amusing. The President said last night that the best way to improve our workforce is Free Preschool For All! Really? I am trying to stay in my chair and not fall on the floor laughing. This is what passes for leadership in the 21st century? What a joke. Mr. President, before you open your mouth and prove the fool you are, maybe you should do a little research. Might I suggest the State Budget Solutions Study that shows spending more money on education does NOT produce better ACT scores? Perhaps the study by your own Department of Health and Human Services which found that big vocabulary and social development gains for at-risk students in pre-kindergarten programs also found those effects largely faded by the time pupils reached third grade? This cult of personality thing has got to stop. We need a leader not a celebrity.
Strive for greater things my friends!
Chris
