Ideological clash in Kentucky coming Tuesday

Kentucky Democrats passed an enormous tax increase in 1990 to fund a grand educational experiment called the Kentucky Education Reform Act(KERA).
The game plan over the ensuing two decades has been to loudly cheer any evidence of scholastic improvement and to call for even more tax increases to keep the "momentum" going.
Recent think tank research has raised serious questions about the efficacy of KERA.
A big showdown in Lexington tomorrow might be the beginning of a long-overdue shift in the Bluegrass State's education reform movement.
