The problem is where does one go for an education if one is poor and a minority? They certainly can't afford a private education. Let's face it, the entire educational system in America is "dumbed" down. A process of socialism, Marxism,etc. Remember it was Krushchev who stated that he will bury us without firing one bullet; he is winning. Outcome-Based Education and Goals 2000 (a Bush 41 program called Education 2000 changed by Clinton to Goals 2000 and liberalized) is making the former USSR leader right.

Read the book: "None Dare Call it Education" by John Stormer.

Krushchev

"We proceed from the premise that war is not neccessary for the victory of socialism...the transition...may beeffected by utilizing parliament..."

Lenin

"First we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia, then we will encircle the United States...We will not have to attack. It will fall like an overrripe fruit into our hands."

Some of these websites which I have bookmarked are not germane to this posting; however, they refer to the education problems in the USA.
