		<description><![CDATA[While we are still reviewing the document in its entirety, we must express concern with many of the education investments that appear based on competition.

		<description><![CDATA[On Jan. 25, 2012, The Hill published a letter AFSA submitted in response to Juan Williams' op-ed in support of school choice.

From Diann Woodard, president of the American Federation of School Administrators
