The NY Post allowed me to talk about the mindset of the elitists who exist in the Democratic party and believe in keeping the status quo of poor and working-class children remaining in failing public schools.
New York City has been an interesting experiment in allowing choices for children (90% of charter school students in NYC are Black and Hispanic) to excel even when their public school has repeatedly let them down.
I also wanted to talk about my personal experience dealing with a public school that didn’t care that I struggled throughout my high school career and never intervened despite my obvious shortcomings.
Give it a read and tell me what you think. Personally, I think it’s one of my better articles but I’ll let you be the judge.
This article, like so much of your work, is thoughtfully written. What I struggle to understand, and what chaps my shorts--and probably yours too--is how the Democratic elite can continue to SAY they care, while supporting and executing policy that, obviously and categorically, does not result in better outcomes for those people about whom they claim to care. That type of sleight-of-hand, while simultaneously enjoying overwhelming support from the people they crap on, is worthy of psychological study. And massive derision, particularly from the President of Aintblackistan.
This is so true; I hope more and more parents wake up to this truth. We need to call on our state legislators to do the right thing and ensure equal education opportunities for all. Thank you for all that you do to keep us all informed.
