Mike,
The money for phonics puts more pressure on teachers who are by and large
holding their ground in defending their kids and their teaching. They
need all the support they can get. The "liberal " democrats in the state
legislature in California jooined the far right in passing the ABC law and
giving it immediate effect because of the "emergency.""
