This is not about role models.  This is not about the President
(51% of American voters feel he's the best choice).
This is not about more money for the schools. This is about 
strength of character.  Not the character of children, not 
the character of parents, it's about the character of school
administrators.  These people don't have the values or the 
wherewithal to enforce discipline in their schools.  They
don't have the values or the wherewithal to hold children
back who are failing.  To state it bluntly, it's the liberal 
humanistic values that have dominated public education for more 
than thirty years.  Citizens are shocked! They shouldn't be.
