Doyle: Public Schools Killer. Walker: Public Schools Rescue

A few days ago, the JS's Tom Tolan (a lefty since high school days--trust me on this) rattled on at length about the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil Walker.  Tolan was fed his material by the tax-sucking school administrators' association.

Sorta like getting your information on Stalin from W. Duranty.

Then there are the actual facts, stubborn things, which tell us that Diamond Jim Doyle was the Dismantler of Public Education.  Walker ......well.......read it for yourself.

Then:  In 2004, according to WEAC 68% of school districts were increasing class sizes

Now:  75% of districts that responded to the survey have the same K-3 class sizes or are decreasing them and 67% of districts for grades 4-6 are keeping the same class size or decreasing them

Then:  In 2004, according to WEAC 51% of school districts reduced extracurricular programs

Now:  92% of school districts are keeping extracurricular activities the same or expanding them

Then:  In 2004, according to WEAC 53% of school districts reduced courses in art, music, theater

Now:  94% of school districts have the same number or increased the number of art courses and 95% of school districts have the same number of or increased the number of music courses

Then:  In 2004, according to WEAC 49% of school districts reduced programs for at-risk students

Now:  85% of school districts have the same number or increased the number of at risk program staff

So clearly, the school-administration tax-suckers are.......umnnhhh..........tax-suckers.
