A thought

What will Senator Hutchison say about this:

President Barack Obama, delivering a schoolhouse pitch Tuesday for a $1.35 billion expansion of his signature education plan, promised to "raise the bar" on what is expected of public school teachers and students.

The expansion would allow individual districts, such as the hard-pressed Fort Worth district, to apply directly for some of the federal money.

I've already mentioned that I am disposed to agree with our president*. Perry has disagreed. What will KBH do?

* On a theoretical level, I don't think that the federal government should be collecting taxes from the states to return it to them capriciously (and when I saw capriciously, I mean: according to the winner-takes-all nature of Congressional leadership). But we live in a world of second bests.
