Literacy

The illiteracy level of our children are appalling.

You know what the world needs? It needs more world leaders named Al Smith.
~ George W. Bush (born: 1946-07-06 age: 65), on the difficulty of pronouncing names such as ousted Yugoslav president Slobodan Milosevic, Al Smith dinner, New York, 2000-10-20

And when we find children trapped in schools which will not teach and will not change, as a society we must demand something better, because there is no second-rate children in America.

You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.

As Governor of Texas, I have set high standards for our public schools, and I have met those standards.

To those of you who receive honors, awards and distinctions, I say, well done. And to the C students, I say: you too can be president.
~ George W. Bush (born: 1946-07-06 age: 65)
[Bush got into Yale with only C grades, with a little affirmative action help from his dad. Bush has an MBA (Master of Business Administration) from Harvard. I kid you not. A man who could not pass a grade 6 literacy test has an MBA. How on earth did he get it?]
