Liberals like to talk as if the reason our kids are doing so badly in the public school system is because we aren’t spending enough money on the schools. If we only would increase spending, they claim, reading and math scores would rise and our kids would be smarter.

This is, of course, a blatant lie.

Not only does higher public school spending slow down the economy, it doesn’t increase academic performance. Case in point:

Perhaps we’re going about education the wrong way. Maybe we should stop surrendering our schools and, more importantly, our childen, to the greedy teacher’s unions.

But of course, we’ll probably just go the liberal route, which is pretty simple: throw money at the problem and hope it goes away.
