We are constantly warned to beware of the legislative clout that big business can buy. But when it comes to political campaign money, the biggest spenders are not the oil companies or the banks. The number-one biggest campaign spender in federal and state political campaigns and ballot measures during the 2007-2008 election cycle was the National Education Association, known as the NEA.

By William J. Federer Muslim groups are proposing a 13-story $100 million mosque in the most prominent spot in America – the heart of downtown New York City near the World Trade Center site.

Today is called Women's Equality Day. It's the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution on August 26, 1920, which assured that women could vote in every state. Prior to that time, women voted in about half the states in the Union, but this constitutional amendment overrode state law and made it possible for women to vote in every state.

Student scores on the New York state mathematics tests are up in every grade tested this year, with some grades showing astonishing double-digit improvement. Some experts and critics claim that's because the tests were easier than prior years, despite the schools’ promises to “increase the rigor” of both the questions and the scoring for the 1.2 million kids who took the math exams in May.
