Funding of Bush Speech Draws Fire; Democrat Calls Education Broadcast `Paid Political Advertising'
The Washington Post | October 3, 1991| Kenneth J. Cooper; Eric Pianin
House Democrats criticized President Bush yesterday for using Education Department funds to produce and broadcast a speech that he made Tuesday at a Northwest Washington junior high school.
The Democratic critics accused Bush of turning government money for education to his own political use, namely, an ongoing effort to inoculate himself against their charges of inattention to domestic issues. The speech at Alice Deal Junior High School, broadcast live on radio and television, urged students to study hard, avoid drugs and turn in troublemakers.
