Sean Hannity on Public Schools

Sean Hannity has often called Public School "Government School" This is a slur he uses for his listeners who fear Government when it comes to public education.He has said "The government has ruined the education system."
There are countless examples of excellent public schools that are accomplishing more today with their students. Schools in Florida student success on state Exams has greatly improved. Sean might want to take a look at the improvement in Public Schools before he decides that the system is in a state of "ruin."
A couple years ago two students at Cherry Creek were featured on ABC News for their work on a new treatment for muscular dystrophy. Their education is hardly in a state of "ruin."
At the same time that Sean is declaring public education "ruined," Mort Zuckerman's column in U.S. News and World Reports noted that "education is another great American success story." According to Zuckerman, "nearly 90 percent of adults today complete high school compared with 33 percent in 1947." Additionally, nearly 30% of the American population today has a college degree compared with 5 percent in 1947. This is a remarkable increase.
