Grosz on Saturday told delegates that the party must break free of "ideological prejudices" if economic and political reforms are to succeed...
...both of these instances, Bennett's ridiculous assertions reflect his narrowminded views of education, which would severely limit a student's ability to succeed in the world. Other areas of the globe, such as Asia, Africa, and the Middle East are becoming increasingly important in international affairs and economics. How does the secretary expect American students to compete in the world if they are unfamiliar with the thought and tradition of these areas?

That makes partisan sense; while the Democrats have been sniping at each other, Bush has enjoyed relative immunity from attack since he locked up the Republican...
