This is the real story. The union controlled public schools in urban areas are graduating hordes of functional illiterates that form a permanent underclass mostly black and Hispanic. When will minorities realize they are being played for fools by the Democratic party and its hypocritical leaders? Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy, Biden and Rahm Emmanuel all vigorously oppose school vouchers for the urban poor but of course send thier kids to high quality private schools. The liberal lowlifes also manage to locate most abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods. This is the message Republicans should be preaching daily.
And these later become civil servants working for state and federal government, become unionized and can’t be fired.
Maybe there is a truth that we just need to accept.... maybe reading and writing ain’t for everybody??? :)
