SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY REMARKS ON THE STATE OF EDUCATION

For Immediate Release

Few issues are more important to a strong America than strong schools. Education

opens the doors of opportunity to our people. It helps the next generation

realize their potential and fulfill their dreams. And a good education

strengthens our economy as it prepares young Americans to get good jobs and

compete in today's world.

 

Parents want their children to succeed. But for the past four years, we've seen

a President and an Administration with an incompetent education policy and an

incompetent education budget. President Bush can find more than a trillion

dollars to give away in tax breaks for the wealthy, but he cut funding for his

own education reforms. He can waste billions of dollars in contracts to

Halliburton, but can't find a dime to increase your Pell Grants.

 

When it comes to the education of your children, to helping middle class

families afford college, to helping workers get retrained for new jobs - this

Administration has been AWOL.
