Link didn’t work, Clark. Oh, and I really enjoyed the voucher piece by the Ex-Lib in Hollywood guy. Thanks.

Scott: Many share your concerns. In this essay, I draw parallels between what Democrats did to slaves 150 years ago, and what they are doing to our public school children today. Democrats outlawed education for blacks and imposed segregation because they feared that educated blacks would no longer serve them. Today, they’re crippling our children so that they’ll grow up to depend upon democrats to survive. Without an educated middle class, the Democrat aristocracy, controlled by a union politboro and ivy league lawyers, will rule the sweaty, ignorant masses. Like America’s former slaves, we’ll learn to appreciate the handouts of our masters. We’ll learn obedience, and we’ll learn to be grateful for public healthcare and union wages.

Democrats may deny this, but the evidence is undeniable. Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it - and for the past 30 years, public schools haven’t taught much history.

Thanks for writing,

Clark

Last night when I went home from work, I had a conversation with a couple of neighbors about this piece. There is another aspect to this that people don’t usually think about: what is the future going to be like with a vast population of unsocialized, uneducated, unskilled people? The kids who are failing in public schools are going to be around for a few decades. What is going to become of them? The future looks grim. Who is going to hire them for a job when they can’t read? Who is going to put up with the attitude and the lack of social skills? Who is going to put up with the inability to stick with the job? Sadly, they won’t even get jobs as burger-flippers as those jobs are being taken my middle-aged immigrants and their families. Been in a McDonald’s lately? No more high school kids on the counter. Now it grandma or uncle from Mexico or the Philippines, at least here in California. I work for a Big City Welfare Department. We have “job training” programs coming out of our ears but we CANNOT get young people to get and keep jobs. They show up for three days, then disappear. They have horrible attitude and sense that they are somehow “entitled” to everything (after all, they’ve grown up in public housing, on welfare, food stamps, subsidized transportation and all the rest. No on in their families works). We have city contracts that require contractors to hire local “youth”, which they do….for three days, and then they go out and hire immigrants, legal or not, to actually get the job done. What I’m saying here with all this is that the country is looking at a demographic timebomb, especially in our big cities. We could very likely see a future of incessant “racial tensions” and increased crime and disorder as millions of essentially throw-away people come of age. Those kids failing today will be on a corner selling drugs in your future. Getting CHOICE into our schools could be what we need to avoid this future. If it’s not too late already.

I have written about this before, on other sites. Here in the Bay Area, we have two KIPP academies. They are public charter schools, one in Oakland and one in San Francisco. Their kids are over 90% minority. They go to school from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. They wear uniforms (no opting out, if you don’t like it, leave). They go to school all day every other Saturday. On average, when a kid has been in one of these schools, their reading goes up 2 grades the first year. Why is this rocket science? End the madness. Vouchers. Choice. And just think about it….no “school districts” to mismanage and waste our money.

I think that part of the LAUSD’s problem is that it’s simply too large.

Break it up into a lot of smaller districts (dealing with smaller total number of both students and dollars) and I suspect that improvements will happen.

Along with giving the LAPD the authority to haul disruptive students out of class to give them a chance to cool off in jail prior to their parents coming to get them… and being told that they have been suspended for a week and it’s the parent’s responsibility to ensure the kid isn’t wandering the streets during school hours that week…

Then start deporting them.
