“I suspect that black kids could do much better with incentives.”

Maybe now is the time to roll out the sure to be controversial “Heroin for Homework” program in the inner cities.

I was thinking more in the line of parental encouragement and teaching pitched to the audience, rather than to arbitrary "standards" some moron in Washington dreamt up. We really need to decentralize education and, imho, get the goverment, at all levels, completely out of it.

Like Bill Cosby would tell these knuckleheads, people demonstrated in 1950's and 60's so you could have an opportunity and now, look what you are doing with it.
