Diane Ravitch: December's LT: Response requested

I wanted to have a discussion about whether public education should be a right or privilege, but I came across this article in the process. Ravitch raises some good questions:
-If unions are the problem in public education then why not look to the South where unions do not dominate, their scores are low, whereas the highest scores are among the states with the strongest unions.

So your task for this article:
-Select an excerpt and write a response. As in previous posts, there may be NO duplicate excerpts chosen.
