On March 21, 2011, I posted a piece on this blog criticizing Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett's plan to cut $1.6 billion in state funding from public education and suggested that the governor's next logical step would be to do away with public schools and let folks educate their own kids. Who knew that such an idea would take hold in mainstream Republican circles so quickly? Maybe I have psychic powers that I never knew existed, but now that G.O.P. presidential candidate Rick Santorum has made the abolition of public education a part of his national platform, I guess there's no denying that my "Magic 8 Ball" really can see into the future.
Will ignorance prevail?
"The future is uncertain."
