No Excuse

It is a great new day for the United States, for the American People and for recognition that we have resumed a role of leadership in our world. Yes, this is in recognition that Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, is the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

With an invitation that you read Paul Krugman’s article in today’s New York Times entitled “The Uneducated American” we may expect to face again a question where American school students will be able to watch their President receive and deliver a Nobel Peace Prize address. Perhaps there will be another opportunity for local students to “op-out.”

Perhaps it is also time for schools to look for new educators and principals and superintendents. Is there little wonder why there may be consideration that those in favor of public education feel compelled to “op-out” of supporting schools that no longer support education?

This time, there is no excuse.
