In the Democratic debate, John Edwards actually said America should lead an effort to provide primary school education to millions and millions of children around the world.

Is he kidding?

We can't even manage to educate many of the American children (or the children of illegal aliens who are contributing to the diminishing quality of education in the public schools) who spend their time in classrooms around the country, waiting for their teachers to solve the behavioral problems and respond to the language barriers that impede academic progress every day.

And who does he think will develop the multicultural curriculum that will surely be required? I am guessing that it won't be anything resembling Bill Bennett's K12 model...
