Ping.
He was like a hero of mine. I don’t know why he couldn’t get over Trump - couldn’t see that throughout history, imperfect men have been great leaders.
**he seems genuinely optimistic about the unleashing of the potential in black children that charter schools offer.**
I beg to differ on that point. One only has to look at the Hartford PS, Hartford, Connecticut to see the abject failure of Shef v O’Neil and charter, [some Afro-centric], magnet, school choice [aka racial quota] schools...Lots of graft, millions & billions wasted, embezzlement.
Sorry Dr. Sowell, I respect your thoughts, but in this, you are dead wrong.
Bttt.

You got it backwards, I said it was property and theft.

My personal opinion of the esteemed doctor dropped a notch from reading this interview. While I agree with his pessimistic viewpoints regarding the qualities of life in the ‘60’s versus today, I see it for vastly different reasons than he.
How can an otherwise intelligent man not be thoroughly disenchanted with Marxism by the time he is in his 80s?
Good choice, my FRiend! ;^)
Sorry. I didn’t expect to make such an error when merely copying your words and pasting them. But then I switched who said what. Things for correcting that.
Not long after that, we realized that there were some things we knew about that we didn't really know. So we thought about it for a while, and discovered that we just couldn't know everything about not only stuff we didn't know about things we knew about, but also all the stuff we knew we didn't know about anything we knew about.
Nowadays, we are smarter. We know we don't know, but we just don't know what to think about all that stuff we know we don't know about what we know, let alone all the stuff we don't know about things we know we don't know, or even what we don't know.
But we are learning. Pretty soon, we will know what it is we don't know about the things we know about, and we will FINALLY learn just what it is that we don't know about what it is we don't know. When we can know what we don't know about what we know we know, we will know what we need to know.
(Blog entry of mine from years ago. Blog is gone, and I had a heck of a time finding this in the voluminous archives. Hope you enjoy it!)
