I'd like to see that same competition in the schools. Unions are afraid they'll lose influence, and jobs. But even they can compete if they start producing a decent product. Already some government programs such as refugee resettlement are done by religiously affiliated groups. They do a better job of getting people off welfare and into jobs because they insist on changing behavior and they expect accountability.
Government just hands out checks and expects little in return.
Teach a man to fish and he'll never starve. He believes Israel should not be pressured by the US into signing an agreement that is not in its own interest. Well first off they need a common theme. Having so many groups protesting so many things makes for very little real communication. Secondly, they should have organized events with good speakers who try to persuade those who disagree with them.
