The following appeared on The Wall Street Journal's "Best of the Web Today" page on September 9:
"In a letter to the editor of The Washington Post, one April Falcon Doss explains why she chose to send her daughter to a private school:
For a card-carrying liberal, I was surprisingly unapologetic about our decision. Why should I sacrifice our daughter's future to an abstract principle? I wasn't up to battling the school system about class size, curriculum and extracurricular activities. And by the time any changes could be made, our daughter would have already missed out on a vibrant education.
Here in a nutshell is the definition of an American liberal: one who is willing to sacrifice the future of other people's children to an abstract principle." From "My Public Spirit Stops at My Daughter" at http://opinionjournal.com/best/?id=110002241.
