I thought this might be interesting info for the women-literacy listserv -
At the kickoff for the republican campaign cycle summer meeting which is happening in Pittsburgh, the master of ceremonies apparently is Senator Santorum. Apparently, Santorum thinks it's wrong to help single mothers earn a college degree. In his book, It Takes a Family, Santorum said that "The notion that college education is a cost-effective way to help poor, low-skill, unmarried mothers with high school diplomas or GEDs move up the economic ladder is just wrong." [It Takes a Family, pg. 138]
