21st Century Education is Expensive, But How Much Remains Mystery

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper (I'll untwist my tongue as I continue to write) is all over the news because he intends to cut $375 million dollars from education funding for the next fiscal year. Being the good collectivist Demublican he is, the Huffington Post questions his loyalty to his socialist* base. How is it possible to take from productive members of society and give to those who are not so productive if you don't intend to raise taxes?

The President of the socialist Colorado Education Association is flabbergasted by this development and gives this rather vacuous statement about education and money:

"This is plain wrong when you consider that we must provide our students with a 21st century education using fewer resources."

I don't know about you, but I would like to know what exactly is a 21st century education? Beyond that, how much does said education cost these days? I contacted the socialist organization directly with those questions to finally lay to rest those million (billion?) dollar questions once and for all with the following message:

"Hello,

President Ingle was quoted in the Huffington Post recently as saying, "This is plain wrong when you consider that we must provide our students with a 21st century education using fewer resources." (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/16/john-hickenlooper-ripped-_n_824052.html)

What is a 21st century education, and how much does it cost?
