Denis O’Hayer at WABE interviewed State Sen. Fran Millar and State Rep. Brooks Coleman, Republicans who chair the Education Committees of their respective bodies. Listen to either the broadcast version or the extended LP version at this link.
The question was “Are Georgia’s Leaders Committed to Education?” to which former Democratic candidate for State School Superintendent had said “No” in an essay published here. As you can imagine, Sen. Millar and Rep. Coleman each had a different answer.
We all know that if our elected state officials aren’t committed, they should be. Immediately.

Your grammar is offensive
Mike, I believe SouthMouth wants your headline to read “Are Our Leader Committed To Education?”
Either that or s/he doesn’t get the joke.
I wanted to ask “Is our children learning?” but we all know the answer to that question.
perhaps you meant “I wanted to aks…”
Not committed so much as incarcerated.
My favorite iteration: “Our Leaders Is Committing Education” … especially in Gwinnett. Now if citizens would just pay some #$%^!@% attention and vote accordingly…
“Is Our Leaders Committed To Education?”
Of course are leaders our committed 2 educateson, don’t b selly!
And Mike, that should be “iz”, not “is”.
Yeah, ’cause they need to put food on their family when they grow up.
The kids, that is.
I agree, its al about da kidz! Edjucateson ferst
“We all know that if our elected state officials aren’t committed, they should be. Immediately.”
By the looks of the insanity of a typical session of the Georgia General Assembly it looks like our elected state officials are already very much “committed”….To the insane asylum.
Well to me, the interview centered around these two legislatures placing responsibility for funding or the lack there of on anyone except the state.
Specifically, it’s either the local school board’s responsibility, or it’s obama’s fault for diverting state funds for something else. (Healthcare, no child left behind, etc.)
So the answer here is “Well we’re committed, but it’s not our problem”.
Kind of the same way a great deal of legislatures give lip service to “Supporting our troops.”
They support our children.
Am I the only person who noticed the subject-verb agreement error in the title of this blog post?
Or the irony that such post is on Education?
You must be. How should it read?
