    But Can They Do Algebra?

    On his website, Maryland Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Ehrlich outlines his education platform. Here's what he has to say about kindergartners:

    Bob Ehrlich: A Commitment to Student and Teacher Excellence

    Early Reading:
    Less than half of Maryland's pre-kindergartners are deemed fully capable of reading at a satisfactory level. Bob understands that educational excellence depends on a firm grasp of reading and writing at an early age. He will make grants available to local subdivisions to promote early-reading training among parents, teachers, and librarians. Bob will place a special emphasis on low-income students.

    Ohanian Comment: Oh, shut up, Bob.
