Dana and Dick Morris and School Choice week

As I said earlier this week , on Wednesday I went to the School Choice Week Event at Loyola Academy in St Louis.  I arrived early and was one of the first to get there, and got to meet and talk a little with Dick Morris.   Not about anything in particular, just hellos ans such.  Got to listen to him talk about traveling arrangements mostly.   But it was nice to meet him.   Do not always agree with him, but he is one of the better political pundits out there.

The event was moderated by Jim Hoft of Gateway Pundit fame.  He did a excellent job and kept the talk going on not only school choice but also how to make the education system better able to make the kids compete in today’s world.   There was also some very good questions from the audience.

The Panel was comprised of Dick Morris, Dana Loesch, Mike Podgursky and Robbyn Wahby of Mayor Slay’s office.  There was not 100% agreement from all sides of the issues, but there was common grould and many good ideas on how to improve the education system in the United States and in Missouri.  And School Choice is a very big part of it.  One of the bi ones I remember is to allow Private Religious schools to receive scholarships from the state for students to go to one of the Catholic or other religions schools.   There is legislation to the MO Gov to allow this.

All in all, it was a great experience to go see people from all over the political spectrum discuss this and in a more or less non partisan atmosphere.  the education system in the USA needs to be more innovative and help the children become competitive in the world that is changing rapidly.

 

Stacy on the Right was asking Dick Morris some questions after the event while I was video taping it from her phone, but unfortunately her phone ran out of space t video tape it all.

 

I got some pics from my phone:
