Well, Governor Schwarzenegger gave his State of the State address today, and midway through, made the following pledge: “I am drawing this line. Because our future economic well-being is so dependent upon education, I will protect education funding in this budget.”
I would love to take comfort in the Governor’s words, but similar promises have been broken too many times. While it would be foolish to hold our breaths, parents, teachers and school districts should absolutely still hold the Governor to his words.
