It's not the christian right. It's everybody.

I don't know a single american who thinks our public school system is functioning adequately. Not a student, not a teacher, not a congressman, not a parent, nobody. We all have different ideas of how we need to change it, but we all agree it is an abysmal failure.

Someone's trying something. That someone was duly elected, partly on the promise to do this. And elected with a Democratic mandate by a popular majority. Do you want a better school system? Let your opponents try something, if they fail, try something else. Public school in america is in shambles, maybe the problem is architectural.

All true, but the Christian right is singularly the best organized.
