Northup Responds to Fletcher's "bully" TV Ad

Among other things, the Fletcher ad, which began running today, cites “Revitalized Schools.”

According to Bluegrass Report Ann Northup wasted no time responding:

-Kentucky is ranked 41st in the “chance for success” index measuring the likelihood of child born in Kentucky to have a prosperous adulthood. (Cradle to Career Report 2007)
-Kentucky’s 4th and 8th graders are well behind the national average in math achievement scores. (Cradle to Career Report 2007)
-While other states have overhauled their math and science curriculum and compete for the next generation of jobs, our schools have fallen behind because our governor has provided no leadership on this issue and has no plan.
