Equal Schools for All
Look for the pattern and you'll see that it's a Progressive thing (capital P), not a left/right or Dem/Repub thing. President Obama took President Bush's abuses and continued some & expanded others.

I can't imagine myself dying, so I expect I would take crazy stupid risks to help a loved one or to support something/someone I hold dear. Because of my military training, I tend to run toward trouble rather than away from it, if I think I can be of use.
