Getting WV on the high road: affordable higher ed for adults

el cabrero (4.00 / 2)

Exactly. There are many ways to improve the state's economy and education is a key one. The right wingers who frequently badmouth West Virginia's work force don't want to participate in a meaningful discussion to improve it. You can look throughout the country and the states with the best secondary and college systems consistantly have a strong job market. Companies want to locate where they can find a good work force -- which West Virginians have a great work ethic -- and where their own children can go to good schools. A strong university system not only provides a good work force it can lead to business incubators with new technologies developed into products for industry and consumers. That takes government investment to produce that kind of educational system. And that's why the West Virginia right wingers will not participate in meaningful discussions on improving the state. They'd rather focus on taking away the rights of workers and consumers than investing in people and resources.

I heard that about them. I think I read it in the Charleston Gazette ;)
