...response to a question from a Tennessee teacher's daughter concerning the nation's poor treatment of teachers, he asked the audience to envision school choice...
...That was enough to make Trent Lott contemptuous. "Why should they get special treatment?" asked the Senate Majority leader. "They'll get it when the House gets it." Still, for Kendall, this request is a surprisingly savvy political move. It won immediate support from Democrats, who are making administration-friendly noises for the first time in a week -- if only because they believe Clinton should have a chance to defend himself. Review and commentary is "an appropriate and professional courtesy," according to Rep. Jim Moran, a Virginia Democrat who says he fully expects the Lewinsky matter to lead to impeachment...

If one form of treatment is not working, parents have an obligation to investigate other alternatives," including doctors or hospitals. He maintains, however, that even Oregon-style exemptions (he prefers "accommodations") are "a door to religious freedom." Steven McFarland, head of the Center for Law and Religious Freedom, a conservative Christian group, demurs. "The First Amendment protects religious belief absolutely, but not religious practice. Child welfare is a classic example...
