I'd like to correct the caller at the bottom of the 3rd hour, that it's not the Denver school system that's being dumbed down, it's Jefferson County to the west, and Douglas County a little ways to the south of Denver.
Denver is too Democratic to let this sort of thing happen. Douglas is heavily Republican, and Jefferson is fairly mixed, which is why there's more uproar in JeffCo, even though Douglas is further along in the destruction of its public education system. I think at least one of the pro-privatization board members in Douglas was replaced last year in a regularly scheduled election, whereas JeffCo is working up to a recall.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
From Cracking the Code:
"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
I guess we should change "The pen is mightier than the sword," to
"The camera is mightier than the gun."
