Labor Party in district of Australia proposes $15,000 to every school parent group. Of course, their closed-minded opposition :-) thinks it's a wrong-headed idea. C'mon -- this is an idea whose time has come. Mind you, it's just a 150 schools or so, but why quibble. Please feel free to forward this proposal to candidates McCain and Obama. I think I can almost guarantee (80,000 schools x 5 board members per school) 400,000 votes from this one.
