Oy. Let's try something different.

Concrete proof that Catholics (former and current) and Jews (cultural and religious) still make up a large part of the Democratic base: the outpouring of guilt, "I'm sorry" and "I didn't do it!" in the comments of my last post. Yikes.

So let's try something different. What would be your dream policy? I'm excluding gays in the military, gay marriage, Iraq, and all abortion-related laws because they're all too easy. So, what are you all into? What dream would you like to see become policy?

Me, I'd love to see an overhaul of No Child Left Behind. Frighteningly enough, it's fairly solid policy. It needs some tinkering here and there to include the arts, physical education, and more advanced classes. It needs a complete chassis overhaul where special ed is concerned. And it needs to be fully funded. But, for a 500-page law (and yes, I've read the whole thing), it's not bad. I'd like to see politicians sit down with students, teachers and principals and find out exactly what their day-to-day lives are like. I'd really love to see every politician substitute teach for a day.

That's my dream. What's yours?
