I first encountered the wacky education writings of school voucher advocate Nancy Salvato when, in a single article, she defended Rod Paige's hiring of Armstrong Williams and compared NCLB critics to those who attacked the poor, honorable folks behind Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.  Since then, her commentaries have provided occasional outrage and many good laughs.

Her most recent trip off the deep end of education punditry is one of her best. Salvato exploits the recent murder of three college students by saying they might have lived if school vouchers had been available to them.

She writes, "I've been following the news story on the execution style killings of three college bound students in Newark, NJ." Not surprisingly, it turns out she follows the news by watching Bill O'Reilly.

And maybe O'Reilly will respond to her patent attempt to fill the nutty guest role on an upcoming show: "If O'Reilly's producers want to continue with this thread of discussion, a solid case could be made that offering parental school choice would go a long way toward solving many of the problems that plague our young people."

Wow!  She could make that case on the O'Reilly show, and it would be so...solid. 

But the best reason to put Salvato on O'Reilly is that Salvato, just like Papa Bear himself, is tolerant of opposing views:  "Admittedly, School Choice might not have prevented the execution of three college bound kids hanging out in the school yard." (Emphasis added.) 

Please, O'Reilly producers, get her on the show.  It will be fair and balanced magic.
