I Vote Early...and Often HEHE!!!!
Seriously, I feel if I am going to teach kids to be responsible citizens, I should do so myself.
Here IN MASS
We have a Governor, Senator, State Rep, State Treasurer, and The hot Ballot Question #2 to vote on.
Governor's Race....Undecided....Only because I want to vote Democrat but the candidate just plain irks me. The Republicans have butchered the DOE here in MA for 12 years now. I feel the only way to change it is to get a Democrat in office.
Senate Democrat....Kerry has no one opposing him really.
State Rep Democrat....The Republican Candidate plays dirty.
State Treasurer Republican....This guy received endorsements from the ultra-liberal Boston Globe and the Conservative Boston Herald. He is truly a great all around candidate.
Question #2....I do not like the law suit language against teachers. It troubles me. Still thinking on it.
As I understand it, Question #2 does not imply that any teacher caught speaking another language in an attempt to teach their students English will be sued. It is saying that teachers that try to make their own course by subverting the system who think that they have no one to be responsible to except themselves will have to think twice.
This measure has been in California for several years and there have been no lawsuits against teachers to my knowledge. Seems like a scare tactic to me.
