<HTML>And as a moralizing, wannabe Leninist graduate student, Yoshie, you might try doing a little research and discover what someone has actually written before you regale us with another in a series of patronizing sermons and proverbs. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">As for vouchers, instead of quarreling with Justin & accusing him of functionalism, Leo, as a labor bureaucrat of the UFT (a teachers' union!) should be explaining to all *why under-funding public schools is racist & therefore is not in the interest of the working class* & arguing that *vouchers, which give a few parents an individualist pseudo-solution of opting out of worst public schools, are not in the interest of the working class either*!</BLOCKQUOTE> Leo Casey United Federation of Teachers 260 Park Avenue South New York, New York 10010-7272 (212-598-6869) Power concedes nothing without a demand.

They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. -- Frederick Douglass -- </HTML>
