Rumor has it that there are very discrete classes on most military installations that teach reading to new officers. New officers of a largely certain demographic. Democrats have destroyed black America.
I think that black children should all be given “forty acres and a mule.” Just like all the other children are.“forty acres and a mule,” by themselves, feed nobody - what was taken for granted was that black slaves would, with that capitalization, work (farm) and feed themselves and their families.
What is free education, if not (in principle, at least) provision of the wherewithal for each child (black or other) to become a self-sustaining adult?
It is the failure of the free schools in that mission which is the problem. And at the root of that is tolerance for failure. Tolerance for failure, and the conversion of the education associations into unions.
