“Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” – Sir Winston Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, FRS, PC (Can). (Prime Minister 1940-1945, 1951-1955)
Financial Post columnist Diane Francis, in her latest column, commends a film which exposes the incompetence of American government schools. It’s called “Waiting for Superman,” and she saw it at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Ms. Francis seems fearful of being explicit about the lesson in the film, that competition is essential to good quality in the education as it is elsewhere in the marketplace.
