While Mark Sanford has been otherwise engaged, it is a fact that South Carolina public schools have continued to deteriorate. In particular, conditions in rural, primarily African American community schools have deteriorated from reprehensible to appalling: classrooms (and bathrooms) manifest  black mold, mildew, rodent and insect infestation, backed up drains, etc., etc. Which is not to even mention a dearth of tech equipment, a lack of funding for continuing education for teachers, blah, blah, blah.
So Gov. Sanford has an opportunity, now -- or at least he will as soon as he stops focusing on his Last Tango in Buenos Aires, his allusive kinship with King David and other, irrelevant details -- to use the stimulus money he was so proud to reject, but which rejection his legislature vetoed, to address what others, in other places, have been addressing for at least two years: sound solutions for transforming inadequate, substandard school facililties into cutting edge facilities that would foster achievement ... not vis a vis standardized testing, but for the realization of personal potential.

 What does it say about our country and its politicians that it takes a British architect to cut to the chase to acknowledge the problem -- in South Carolina and elsewhere -- and to offer a partnership to do something about it?
