"In truth, U.S. schools are failing blacks at a painfully sad rate:"

It's the same old story, schools don't cause student failures, student's do. People are always looking to pass the buck. If a poor (not necessarily in the monetary sense for any DUers who can't tell the difference) student tries, they will pass, if they don't, they'll fail.

The gun control nuts should go to Congress and demand that schools be banned. If these students were not sent to school they would not fail, and therein lies the problem. I think Bush is hurting the black community by increasing the education budget. The No Child Left Behind program is forcing blacks to go to school and fail. It is an outrage!!!!!
