Homework for teachers

Even though public school supporters last year stomped out the Legislature's attempt to set up an educational voucher program, the stompers apparently still want some payback.

Utahns for Public Schools is calling on its supporters to prepare for their neighborhood caucuses.
Thousands of volunteers reached out to their communities, educated their families, friends, and neighbors, and stood up to elected officials who had forgotten who they are supposed to represent. ... To encourage continued citizen involvement in state and local government, Utahns for Public Schools offers a new informational section on our website: Countdown to Caucus.
Being good educators, the anti-voucher web site has links to everything you ever wanted to know about caucusing, conventioneering and running for office. In fact, pro-voucher people might want to read it and they are more likely to show up at caucuses.

You can almost hear the voice of your first-grade teacher on the site:
Follow the links to learn how you can really make a difference in state government and influence education policy. Here's a hint: It takes more than voting, and it starts long before November!
How about a gold star for everyone who helps take out House Speaker Greg Curtis!

Glen, why are we awarding a gold-star if Curtis is taken-out?
