Education
rates high
for Dukakis
Dukakis says that “no issue, no concern,
no institution means more to me than educa
tion.” He claims “the time has come for a
national partnership for educational excel
lence” in which the president “becomes this
nation’s number one advocate for educatio
nal opportunity, good teaching and good
schools for all our children.”
Dukakis opposes tuition tax credits.
In Massachusetts, Dukakis line-item ve
toed a “choose-a-school” plan proposed by
Democratic State Senate President William
Bulger, a pilot program that would allow in
ner-city students in Boston to voluntarily at
tend superior schools in the suburbs.
Dukakis proposes the creation of a Na
tional Teaching Standards Board that would
be composed of representatives of the teach
ing establishment and would set nationwide
standards for teachers.
Dukakis opposes prayer in school.
“We’ve learned that we can’t improve
America’s schools by slashing resources or
lecturing teachers or putting religion back in
the classroom,” he says.
In 1978, Gov. Dukakis vetoed a bill re
quiring teachers to start the school day with
the Pledge of Allegiance. Both the Massa
chusetts House and Senate overrode his veto
and the law was duly enacted.

Bush expresses opinions about education
George Bush says, “I want to be known as
the ‘Education President.’ ” He wants the
federal government to increase spending for
education by at least $600 million, mostly in
the form of block grants to go to the states.
He believes this is more effective than run
ning federal programs, that the states are
better able to experiment and to innovate.
The vice president proposes the creation
of a “College Savings Bond” to help fami
lies save for college. Parents will earn inter
est tax-free if these funds are used for col
lege.
Bush says the federal government should
“provide greater choice” in education. “Tui
tion tax credits (for parents who pay private
school tuition) are one way to achieve that,”
he said.
Bush supports merit pay and proposes that
it be administered by local officials using
funds from an existing federal program.
As a Texas congressman in the 1970s,
Bush co-sponsored the “Prayer in School”
Amendment. He said, “I favor voluntary
prayer in school as an extension of our com
mitment to teaching values.”
Bush supports saying the Pledge of Alle
giance in public school classrooms. “Should
public school teachers be required to lead
our children in the Pledge of Allegiance? My
opponent says no, but I say yes,” he said.
