The public schools are government monopolies run as jobs programs for adults and slush funds for the teacher unions and the Democratic Party.
… PUSHBACK is coming!
High dropout rates, black and Hispanic students in these urban centers are denied the American dream and condemned to spend their lives in grinding poverty instead — dropout rates are especially high in urban areas with large minority populations, including such academic disaster zones as Washington, DC (57%), Trenton (59%), Camden (61.4%), Baltimore (65.4%), Cleveland (65.9%), and Detroit (75.1%).
… PUSHBACK is coming!
These same progressives, fully aware of the bankruptcy of public education, send their own children to expensive private schools, where they will get the education the public schools would deny them. When Vice President Al Gore, a supporter of teacher unions and opponent of school vouchers, was asked why he opposed school vouchers for black children while sending his own son to a private school, he said: “If I was the parent of a child who went to an inner-city school that was failing, I might be for vouchers, too.”
… PUSHBACK is coming!
Virtually every school board and every administration in inner city districts is controlled by Democrats, and has been for over fifty years. Everything that is wrong with inner city schools that policy can fix, Democrats are responsible for. A human tragedy is smoldering in America’s inner cities. Twelve million poor children, mainly black and Hispanic, are trapped in failing government schools that are teaching them nothing. As a result, they will never get a chance at a middle-class life.
… PUSHBACK is coming!
Throw money at it; other people’s money … as long as we get our “cut” – that’s been the Democrat’s plan! This inner-city school crisis cannot go on … Sending a message to these inner-city children that they too can grow up to be President, after smoking pot, is not just false hope. It’s CRIMINAL!
But, the Republicans who’ve sat by, skimming their pork off too. Who will PUSHBACK ? It must be the patriots— those who refuse to let the American dream die! This is a call to the rest of the Tea Party; it’s time to prove we care and see the fix … time to be involved – to walk the streets, knock on doors, talk to neighbors and co-workers again, break the inner-city-poverty-cycle — PUSHBACK!
