Product of Public Schools and Statesuppo

Mr hornberger has a habit of making some general negative unbacked remarks in his statement. "I don’t know anything about Virginia Republican Delegate Jeffrey Frederick’s educational background but based on his understanding of economics, my hunch is that he is a product of public schools and state-supported universities, many of which, as a general rule, teach absolute nonsense in their economics classes." Otherwise a logical article. This is just a flat discredit to Mr. Hornberger and trys to discredit the public school education curriculum. My experience of attending school in various parts of the U.S. is that they are not alike, required curriculum varied as also in my opinion the teachers quality. Teacher quality maybe irrelevant. Yet, he dose not know Frederick's education, nor evidently the diversity of standards across the country to make such a blatent statement.  
He makes some good points on immigration, especially since many companies moved in and out of Mexico and Latin America then quickly to Asia countries, to exploit their even cheaper labor. Capitalists world is flat, free world economics, and the exploitation of labor, leaving many high and dry and behind. As in referance to the last paragragh of his article, we see proof that only thru the education of the lower working class can these acts of wealthy exploiting the have nots, can a closing of the gaps and a more fair redistribution of wealth be achieved thru out the world, not just in Mexico and Latin America. We see evidence of this in Venezuala where the literacy rate of the poor has improved thru reforms, and an improved social capitalist economy, as just a minor example and still in its infancy program. The immigration issue, is an issue, currently being used to scape goat in stressed economic times to take the eye off the real purpitrators and the war, Corporate CEOs, corrupt unions favoring the corporation and their own self made buracracies betraying the labor worker. This is what happens when free enterprize goes unregulated by corrupt goverment bought and paid for by the very same free interprize, and a lethargic babyboomer populace. Fascism emerges and a war of oil theft to control the free markets and spread seudo democracies. Dispite no child left behind, the south that lagged behind the rest of the US in education in the past has had it literacy rate improved. Alabama and Mississippi come to mind. Libertarian Ron Paul would like to return, legalizing in home schooling under the name of freedom, which has a logistic to it. But will it promote the return to an aphartied south, and lowering of the literacy rate?
