Governor Jeb Bush, helping all students get to the head of the class.

I think Gov. Bush wrote a great essay. I especially liked what he said here:

That principle -- education is liberation -- is still true today.

Prior to the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, generations of African-American children were punished for attempting to read or trying to better themselves through education. For them, liberation meant in practical terms the freedom to learn. That principle -- education is liberation -- is still true today.

Man, where is this moron coming from?  True, that there were instances of this, but it was also true that many southern slaveholders had black overseers and book keepers (as well as domestics) who had to read to fulfill their duties.

And let's not forget the free blacks and the black slaveholders as well.  Nowhere was there an official policy of keeping blacks ignorant.

Yes, there was such a policy, whether official or unofficial, as many slaves were punished if they tried to learn how to read. Where are YOU coming from?
