This scandal brought me to the realization that we can not win elections when inner cities are involved.

Yes we CAN!

We can offer parents a check that they can take to a PRIVATE SCHOOL!

Start the voucher plan small. Perhaps with private donations. And when Dewayne's mom hears that Shadiqua's kid is going to a private school, she'll want a voucher too.

Vouchers get the kids out of the government school hell holes, and a chance to live a prosperous life, off the dole.

This is THE civil rights issue of our era, and we're not pursuing it. This should be a TOP priority.

And yes, I'm familiar with regulatory concerns. Well, let the bureaucrats try to suffocate Shadiqua's school with red tape. Shadiqua will be in their face. And she will learn something about the government she worships, too.

One problem with the voucher idea: the parents that currently pay money to send their kids to private school, do it to get their kids AWAY from the Dewayne's and Shadiqua's of the world. They will be most unpleased if the voucher kids turn the private school into the kind of educational hell-hole that they paid money to escape.

They will also be most displeased to see that THEY have to pay money to send their kids to the school, but the voucher kids get in free.
