All television is educational television. The only question is what is it teaching
More Quotes from Nicholas Johnson:
Eliminating state income taxes on working families with poverty-level incomes gives a boost in take-home pay that helps offset higher child care and transportation costs that families incur as they strive to become economically self-sufficient.
