Silvia who blogs at Po Moyemu (which means "in my opinion" in Russian) has a quote from a recent book by Neel Boortz:
"There is no greater long-term threat to our continued prosperity, economic liberty, freedom, and quality of life in the United States than that presented by teachers unions. And that includes Islamic terrorists."
Silvia says this is from Neal's book Somebody's Gotta Say It. He has a chapter on The Tragedy of Our Government Schools. She found the above quote on page 121. She says Neal defends the above assertion by writing:
"We can recover from the destruction that may be visited upon us by these Islamic radicals. But can we recover from the damage being done by our hideous government schools?A massive terrorist weapon might destroy a city. Our government schools will destroy a nation."
It appears Neal is mostly saying we need to get away from the current structure of government schools. He doesn't mind homeschooling. He is for school choice.
I don't know much about Neal Boortz. He is a radio talk show host. And he writes columns. I am going to track down his book Somebody's Gotta Say It at the library and at least read the chapter on government schools.

I'll mention, then, that he also has a chapter called "Fixing Our Schools," "Things That Should Be Taught in Government Schools," "Prayer in the Schools," "Nice Pencils," and "The Rainbow Fraud" that are all related. Actually, you should just read the whole book. :)
Good idea!
