Dickey BS: Education, Race 'n Community... (178* d) RE: BS: Education, Race 'n Community... 27 Jul 07


I believe that people should be able to go to school where they live.

I believe that it is wrong to force people to go elsewhere regardless of their race or religion. To force them to go to a certain place based on their race is forced desegregation. This forced desegregation causes racial hatred and hostility far beyond what occurs with de facto segregation.

What does this have to do with Jesus and the money changers in the temple?

What is so wrong with predominately black schools? If they are not working the logical thing to do would be to fix them. Pouring more and more money into them has not helped. The DC school system spend 50% above the national average. The problem is an inefficient bureaucratic system, low teacher salaries and a lack of parental participation.

Education is the key to reducing poverty, not rearranging where people go to school.

Civil rights leaders should concentrate their efforts on improving the schools and getting parents involved rather than blaming problems on someone else which stirs up more racial hatred and deepening the problem.
