And I should add that the less scrupulous in the Left don’t have a problem with establishing a dependent class with handouts, something that has worked very well for them politically so far.
Just this week our local paper had an article praising the valedictorian and salutorian in the regional high school. I live in an outer suburban area of one of the larger US cities, btw. One of them was black, Christian and was apparently born in Africa. I really wish there was more of this kind of news about education rather than the kind that is talked about in whispers.
