2) Government schools can NOT provide the moral direction that parents and children need. The advice that must be given to, and demands made of parents and children can only be dished out by a private school. Why? Answer: Because those demands and that advice is politically incorrect and would violate establishment of religion.
3) Due to the points made in #2, more time in government schools make children worse, not better.
4) Shouldn't a judge know that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to be involved in education?
5) Judge Mathis falsely believes that spending more money on education will reduce the prison population. I won't. Ending the war on drugs will. These people are in prison because they are working in the black market. That black market has NOTHING at all to do with K-12 schools.
6) He states that he benifited from his college education. Well....that college education was funded by vouchers and loans that he could use to attend any private or government school that would accept him. K-12 schools would benefit from free markets too.
He wrongly blames the drug war and not the criminals.
"Government schools can NOT provide the moral direction that parents and children need. "
You are right on target, friend.
The only thing that will improve our educational systems and reduce prison populations is a higher social standard in which people are held accountable from birth to death for bad behavior.
Due to liberal polices enacted since WWII that declared war on the traditional family, marriage and fatherhood.
I love your second comment.
Two words that did not appear in the article: Family and Father. Anything in the original source about this, or is government-financed education the judge's answer to all ills?
To believe and say otherwise is a larger statement of ignorance, if not an intentional deception on their part.
Aha! So we already were spending money on education and now that's being cut to build prisons.
Well then, it obviously wasn't working, was it? Why should we go back to a failed policy?
Give prisons a chance!
Mathis: "....and jobs are removed from communities, replaced with guns and drugs....."
he states it exactly bassackwards......
Same old oppressed population bull.
" Because I was poor, I had to use loans and tax-payer supported government grants to pay for my education. "
So did my daughter, plus she did a work\study program on campus. Let me clue you in, having to make sacrifices for education isn't limited to the black community alone,even though listening to the mainstream media would have people believe that b.s. !!!
If a 28% increase in one year on my property taxes for education alone is a cut, then lets increase education spending and maybe my taxes will go down...
Pretty soon I will be getting school lunches out of true need.
Money isn't the problem. Students fail because teachers don't teach. Failing students are promoted because it would hurt their self esteem to hold them back. I suggest getting both government and unions out of education, and it makes me sad because I know it won't happen.
Education...
Here it is... commit a crime, you get punished...
yeah....piss more money on education...that's the answer!!!
no matter how much money is spent you cannot change all ....
seems the moneyed basketball players in the garden last night were a shining example to the youth...their fans!!!!
certain individuals cannot be civilized....the best answer might be a charlie rangle mandatory conscription....at least the money spent trying to civilize educate them might have positive benefits...
what the US has now surely is just a lib/dem'd wet dream!!!!
What kind of judge encourages dependence on the government and leaves out sad educational practices on the part of minorities as significant reasons for this accurrance.
Don't mention Asian because they are not suppose to show Blacks how the system can work.
In any case, he's a moron. And I didn't even have to read the article to reach that conclusion. All I needed to see were the words "Invest More" in the headline.
How about the fact that the majority of black children are born in fatherless homes
Gee, maybe there's some coincidence there
