Children are just as fragile as any passengers aboard an airline, perhaps more so. Children trust their 'Teachers' to tell them the whole truth on all subjects and to remain free of political agendas. What the kids get are half truths, at best, and treated as herd animals for some future Socialistit Idealism. America spent forty Trillion in forty years on "special education grants,etc." for Afican-Americans. The results? Check the statistics. In half the time and twice the monies, America has done the same for "Illegal Aliens" for education, etc. The results? Check the statistics. History in this Nation has shown that those who are granted 'Special Favors' grow to expect them as 'Rights'. If America is to give Grants for Higher Education, then it needs to be done on the basis of "Benefit for Comunnity and Country" and not based on Race, Nationality, Religion, Poverty Level, , nor Regionality. Educators should never again be allowed to become 'Organized', as the experment has demonstrated total failure, and created a socialized weakness group of peoples who expect everything, for nothing.

Follow the money trail!!! This absolutely disgraceful, especially from those that had benefit of a PRIVATE EDUCATION!!!! I am so sorry for these families that are looking for a better way for their children!!! I am so sorry for those families that will never be able to use this tool to improve the lives of thier children and the generations behind them!!! Education is a cultural benefit that when done well becomes part of a family heritage!!!! What do the lives of 200 inner city children mean to this administration compared to the TEACHER'S UNION??

They, along with the national teachers unions, demonstrate arogance again and again, enough for parents to rise up in protest. These moves portent the kind that will be made in other areas of socialism: the elites in the system will be separated from the masses--in the health system, in the economic system, etc. Socialism pretends to be fair while it destroys what is best for the people, like the program for minority children in Wash.

Many of our nations public schools are a disgrace. They are more intent on dealing with the far left liberal social agenda, than real education. Our schools have become left wing endoctrination centers. Some of our brightest young minds are not getting the educational tools they need to equip them for adult lives. Not only are the public schools failing, the real problems start in all the liberal Colleges and Universities that are turning out teachers that have been endoctrinated in this left wing social engineering. Private and religous schools, do a much better job of educating our young people, at far less cost. Test scores clearly show this. Now the public education system/teachers unions run by left wing liberals, want to shut down the private schaools, because they are a THREAT to the very existance of the unions and the public education system. You cannot tell me that any of this bunch is interested in education, ONLY THEIR OWN SELFISH INTERESTS.
