Subject: One Florida plan has proved sucsessful beyond wildest dreams...

As much as I have attacked G.W.Bush Jr., I must admit, that his brother Jeb has done a supurb job in Florida, with bold, real reform...

Most notable is the education reform...G.W.Bush's one florida plan, which provides vouchers for unsucsessful children in failing schools, and ends racial prefferences for minorities in college, has sent it's critiques(demagougs of racial politics)scarmbling in diseray...the plan provides on the college level that racial prefference may not be considered in college selection, and that the top 20% of the highschool and community college transfer classes will be gaurnteed admitance into one of Florida's top schools...the predicted result was that minority enrolement would be crushed...(liberals still feel that people are not capable of competing on there own merits)however, the result in the first year is minority enrolment in this years freshmen class in florida is up 12% from 25 to 37%! nearly a 50% hike! Not to mention that standerised test scores on minority students entering private highschools under vouchers are up an average of somewhere between 8-12% I believe(I can't recall the exact number)...these are highly, highly encouraging stats people...what do all you affrimative action, anti school standered teachers union crusaders have to say now?
