Today marks the 50th anniversary of Brown vs. Board of Education, and to commemorate the occasion, both Kerry and Bush are slated to give speeches in Topeka, Kansas. Kerry plans to discuss how the current educational system continues to be separate and unequal, and then suggest changes that would bring about equal education for all.
Across town, Bush will point out how vouchers and privatizing are the salvation of any failing endeavor (point to his war plan as evidence), and then blame 'evildoers' for the fact that his No Child Left Behind legislation is 9.4 billion dollars short of funding --this year alone.
