Your paper recently reported upon a visit to our city of a Republican candidate for governor. Your story related that she said California ranked 48th among the states in education. I was not in attendance at the meeting but I am aware that funding for education in California ranks 48th. I think that achievement levels are much higher.
In the mid-1960s, funding for California education ranked fifth in the United States. California's education system was recoginized as one of the best. Responsibility for the decline in funding is to be shared by politicians of both parties.
