Why don't you get back on topic. Literacy is something that is sorely lacking in the public schools, but that is the fault of the teachers' unions. A First Lady trying to correct that is a noble thing.

I'd require 50%. In MA, they spend their food stamp money on smokes and booze and slot machines.

Blame obesity on the trial lawyers who have killed recess and gym.

Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds says the same thing about the left's obsession with global warming and carbon footprints. He says "When the people who claim it is a crisis start behaving like it's a crisis, maybe then I'll believe them."
