=
=  Exactly correct.  Here is a simple way to get the point.  Substitute
="government funded abortion" for "public schooling" in the argument.  Lo
=and behold!  You will hear echoes of the liberals saying how the poor and
=middle class won't be able to exercise their "right" to good schooling unless
=the gummit (tax the rich) pay for it.  Just like their argument that only
= the 'rich' will be able to exercise their right to abortion.....

Darn it. You beat me to my post.

Remember the calls that Dan and George were pro-life yet seemed to quite
fine with having their daughters/granddaughters choose an abortion when
it was convienient to them back in August 1992?

Although I don't fault them for sending Chelsea to Sidwell Friends, it
just seems very interesting that Clintons who will now make $200K will
set their rhetoric aside. It's just hard to forget what he stood for...
	We oppose the Bush Administration's efforts to bankrupt the
public school system -- the bedrock of democracy -- through private
school vouchers. ... We deplore the savage inequalities among public
schools across the land, and believe every child deserves an equal
chance to a world class education.  Reallocating resources toward this
goal must be a priority. We support education reforms such as site-based
decision-making and public school choice, with strong protections
against discrimination. ...
	Education is a cooperative enterprise that can only succeed if
everyone accepts and exercises personal responsibility.  Students must
stay in school and do their best; parents must get involved in their
children's education; teachers must attain, maintain, and demonstrate
classroom competency; school administrators must enforce discipline and
high standards of educational attainment; governments must end the
inequalities that create educational ghettos among school districts and
provide equal educational opportunity for all; and ensure that teachers'
pay measures up to their decisive role in children's lives; and the
American people should recognize education as the core of our economy,
democracy and society."
		1992 Democratic National Platform

And what about this idea in the Clinton-Gore education plan?
	The main elements of the Clinton/Gore educational strategy call
for a Safe Schools Initiative to provide funds for violence-ridden
schools, ...
	Does this mean that once the mechanism is in place that Chelsea
can go to the closest DC public school in two years?
