Here we go - You have morphed this whole conversation. I have not said every child should not have access (different than "deserves") to an education, I said that if I want to WORK HARD and put my kids in a better school, then I should have those options , and if I am not using the government system and should have some choice where I spend MY tax dollars. I say SHAME ON YOU for trying to keep me from getting the best for my kids.  Go away Gary - You are a communist, not a socialist. And who knows Gary, maybe one of my kids will grow up one day only to become a great democratic leader who will lead all of us out of these problems, including the poor kids.
