While President Bush has never acted as though he were concerned by inequality within America, his administration’s under-funded and ill-wrought educational policy is doing more for the redistribution of global wealth than the pinkest of bleeding-heart liberals ever could. Kids who get Cs in math might still be president, but in a global marketplace they can’t be too much else. However, if our children have to be poor, our hearts are warmed by the fact that they will be poor so that formerly struggling regions might be prosperous. Pass the standardized...

Having no crystal ball to foretell the Legion's future actions, the next best indicator is the American Legion Magazine which follows the party line pretty well. Throughout the year, the magazine ran stories showing education in the pinkest spotlight possible, among them, "Our Academic Hucksters." After a barrage of "Smart Alecs," "Brainy Boys," and "Reds," the article asked, "How many courses in contemporary literature use George Orwell's Animal Farm or 1984, Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon, Wittaker Chambers' Witness (probably the greatest autobiography in the world)?

Even the pinkest of labor leaders would admit, privately, that as long as the U.S. has prosperity-uneasy as it might be-the Taft-Hartley Law would work few hardships on labor.

...with complete good will and inexhaustible curiosity, Eleanor Roosevelt looked at every facet of English life. No one was any longer the least bit surprised where she turned up. In the tiny Kentish village of Barham, the proud members of the pig war club informed her that their chubbiest, pinkest piglet was named Franklin.
