I agree. Why throw money at failing schools, and why give free access to failing schools when there's a much more conservative and better option?
Instead of supporting failure, why not go to the sorce of the failure and fix it?
That way, taxpayers , children, blacks, whites, greens, oranges, all reap the rewards. Give everyone a chance for success, and not just waste resources and time to buy the votes of the few.
Q Ari, will the administration be filing a brief in the Supreme Court affirmative action case?
MR. FLEISCHER: That is under review. This is something that the Department of Justice and the White House are reviewing as we speak and no decisions have been made.
Q There's only a week left, so presumably they have to be writing this now. Can you give us a little more on where you are in the process?
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, the deadline is a week from today. And that's a lot of time.
Q Why wouldn't you?
MR. FLEISCHER: Well, I'm not indicating whether the administration will or won't, or if we do, what it might say.
Q But the signal landmark case on affirmative action in 25 years, and the U.S. government isn't going to take a position?
MR. FLEISCHER: I didn't say we would or we wouldn't. I'm just saying it's a matter that's under review, precisely because it is a landmark case and a case that's important and a case that the President, who is very sensitive to issues involving diversity and opportunity for all, wants to make sure that it's approached in a thorough and careful, deliberative manner. And so there is one week remaining on the court given deadline for when an amicus brief would have to be filed. And so it remains an issue under review.
