Democrat blog explores Blunt 'attack' on public schools

Roy Temple's Fired Up Missouri blog is undoubtedly a center of propaganda for the Democratic party, but it also brings to light some important stories, including a post this weekend about the originator of the 65 percent plan that Governor Matt Blunt has said will put more money into Missouri classrooms.
According to the post, the 65 percent plan is being pushed nationwide by dot.com millionaire Patrick Byrne, who, along with his company, Overstock.com, is supplying money for proposals that would put public money into private schools.
Since we have already seen at least one such proposal from the governor, this really does not come as much of a surprise. It also comes as no surprise since the governor was a keynote speaker earlier this year at an out-of-state convention sponsored by All Children Matter, a group that promotes putting taxpayer money into private schools.
