[Papa John]

Of course, the real attack on public education is occurring at the elementary and secondary levels.  Society would benefit more from money put into that...Well, money and some real structural reforms.

Well, that's a common refrain, too, Redrum, and given that my son is a second grader in a California public school, I won't disagree.

But I would characterize the diminishing state support for public higher education in California, while having a different effect than K-12, as a "real" attack as well. It's a shame that we have to prioritize one level of education over the other.
