Public School Monopoly: A Scandal That Dooms Young Males, Other Minorities
Nowhere is the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party more evident than in its collusion with the powerful teacher's unions.
This effort sentences millions of the nation's young, to a lifetime of crime and poverty.
It could, instead, make the decision to have hundreds of thousands of those same young people receive a reasonable education and as a result, have some share of the American Dream.
Needless to say the large majority of these young people are minorities.
This Public-School-Monopoly, the NEA-National Education Association-and the Democratic Party have for years teamed up to keep this monopoly going.
Each group talks a good game about how much they care for the poor and minorities, but when it comes to action, both groups take care of the needs of each other, but prove they have no actual concern for kids, especially those in the inner city.
Throughout most of the USA, the Public-School-Monopoly has battled competition.
Where school competition exists, minority parents line up to get their children into schools that offer voucher programs.
Charter School popularity is also soaring.
Charter Schools first came into being in 1991 in Minnesota, starting with just 2 schools.
By 2004, there were nearly 3000.
Louis King, a black leader who served on the Minneapolis School Board from 1996 to 2000, puts it [public school performance] bluntly: "Today, I can't recommend in good conscience that an African-American family send their children to the Minneapolis public schools.
The facts are irrefutable: These schools are not preparing our children to compete in the world.
" Mr.
King's advice? "The best way to get attention is not to protest, but to shop somewhere else.
" Democrats have strongly supported the status quo, while Republicans have strongly supported voucher programs The NEA contributes millions to Democrats, but paltry amounts to Republicans, even than, just to make it look good.
Since 1990 the NEA has given $1,781,502 to Democrats and just $170,600 to Republicans.
Big bucks are still flowing from the NEA to Democrats.
Democrats continue to show their gratitude.
The Public-School-Monopoly remains a powerful force.
To add to the horror story of what the NEA is all about, see below some of the groups it supports: You may not recognize some of the names, but you would recognize the agenda of most.
Summed up, they would be mostly radical left, big government, Blame America First soldiers who love the New York Times, the United Nations, the ACLU and other groups that mostly disparage America, but do virtually nothing to improve education.
