I was at a Labor Day picnic in one of our suburbs yesterday.  Two different 
professional women (one a school board member) said that the education system 
in California went to hell when proposition 13 passed.  This law was passed 
because people wanted old people to keep their homes and not be pushed out by 
high taxes.  The lie was that it also cut property tax burdens for big 
businesses like the phone company and P G and E.  The main, proponent, Howard 
Jarvis, was connected to the apartment owners association.  Property taxes 
were how we were funding our schools.  So, the public school crisis is 
economic and caused by capitalism.
