Republican Arguments for Social Mobility and the Common Good | Capital Commentary by Michael Gerson.  MGB: The problem is not so much current K-12 schools.  Usually when Republicans mention these, they are about to attack teacher unions.  The real problem is that the parents of low income schools have deficient educatons.  Educating them rather than training them for low wage jobs or prison industries will yield stronger results.  While Catholic schools can certainly play a part in that (although they have been decidedly absent from the adult education, votech world), massive reform is necessary to undo what Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton agreed on in 1997.
