Boykins is trying to tell us that illiterate drop outs from Mexican schools are better educated and qualified for jobs in America's work force than black drop outs from American schools?

Perhaps the solution to the unemployment problem among young blacks would be to provide funds for sending black children to boarding schools in Mexico for grades K through, say eighth grade. Then if they chose to drop out they would be competitive with illegal aliens for jobs, or if they chose to continue their education, would probably qualify for second year college.

Is Boykins a genius or what?

Very funny! "funds for sending black children to boarding schools in Mexico for grades K through, say eighth grade." All I can say is I am not buying his proposal that we invest even more money in failing inner city schools. I like the Katrina rescue solution best. Fire up the helicopters and airplanes and let my people go.
