If asked this question repeatedly over the years:
Where are the black leaders?
They have blood on their hands. They are responsible for the fact that their people are more ignorant and less employable today than they were (collectively, individual exceptions noted) in 1964.
Shame on them.
Democrats have fought charter schools every step of the way in Michigan despite their obvious success in Detroit. All but the most indifferent of parents are lining up to get their kids in.
Of course you know it’s not COOL to be an educated person.
And you HAVE to bee COOL
Where are the black leaders?
And, where are the black FATHERS?
Yep. They be actin’ white.
And send them where?
The black kids don’t have jobs because the Mexicans took them all!
The government answer for anything....GIVE THEM MORE MONEY!
You could give these kids $100,000,000 dollars and they still would not learn anything!
Learning begins at home with a MOTHER and FATHER. Next comes discipline. After that, the learning of responsibility.
The most amazing thing is that those moral factors are absolutely FREE!
Throwing money at the problem is simply crony capitalism since every penny of that wasted money goes into someone else’s pocket, who in turn will vote for more money.
Elect this women Mayor? Since missing dad isn’t there to keep his son(s) in line.

No vouchers. Once you accept a voucher, you are a government school
“And you HAVE to bee COOL.”
Yes, above all else you have to be cool.
That’s roughly the amount my wife and I spent on FOUR years of private school at a very good institution for our son. About 90% of the senior class received scholarships the year he graduated (including our son) and that was only five years ago.
Most private schools have requirements for accepting students. There are entrance exams, interviews, and some even require references. Will these requirements be waived for students with vouchers? I have had experience with a private school accepting students that were admitted under “scholarship” programs. These students didn’t conform to dress code, didn’t do homework, and were disruptive in class. Within two years parents who were paying thousands of dollars in tuition took their children out of the school and a few years later the school closed. This school had been operating for over 50 years and its closing was a loss to the community. I for one do not support vouchers. People never appreciate something they don’t have to work for.
Pipe dream. Asians at those same schools do just fine. It’s the student’s attitude that decides the quality of his education, period.
Well said and bears repeating.
School is pointless with no parents. Black wives matter.
“That’s roughly the amount my wife and I spent on FOUR years of private school at a very good institution for our son. “
I just checked on current tuition for some of the archdiocese schools in Baltimore:
St Mary HS , Annapolis, $13,630
Notre Dame, Towson, $17,700
OL Mt Carmel, Baltimore, $12,500
ABP Curley, Baltimore, $13,450
Mt DeSales, Catonsville, $13,400
Mt St Joseph, $14,100
I have been fighting them in my child’s school.
The view presented is “See what a great witness we could be!” It is really about “See how much state money we can get!”
But my bride teaches in a public school. The school board wants vouchers because then they will send all the troubled kids to the private schools.
We have many minority and poor kids in my daughter’s school. They are there because their parent or parents have made great sacrifices to get them there, and have high expectations of those children. They hold the children accountable.
In my bride’s public school, the only person held accountable is the teachers.
Notre Dame in Towson is an independent Catholic school not affiliated with the archdiocese.
