That should bring sympathetic third world countries to our manufacturing door.

One blogger writes though, “How do you account for the fact that Asian (Chinese, Indian, Taiwanese, Korean, etc.) far outscore white, hispanic and black students on state-wide testing in almost every state in the United States and has been for years? This, DESPITE the fact that most Asian students do not come from the wealthiest strata and many are new immigrants, Governments throwing more money at education obviously has nothing to do with the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) results as the U.S. far outspends every country that outperformed it. Here’s the secret: Asian parents watch very closely to what their children are doing every day. They do not allow their children to waste time or their hard-earned money on pursuits that are not related to getting a better education. There is also a lower divorce/ single-parent family situation among Asians which results in less chaotic environments at home. Perhaps instead of constantly blaming teachers and schools, Americans should start looking at their own lack of parenting/ relationship skills?! The wide disinterest from parents in participating in their children’s education development is what is at the root of this problem. Then, those children grow up and perpetuate this disinterest in their own children. Don’t just observe/criticize! Actively engage in educating your children!” To this blogger I say “Amen!”

Rep. Jerry Torr, R-Carmel, the author of the bill, said it would encourage economic growth because companies prefer right to work states.
