True Feelings Shown

J. Ewing over at Craig Westover's blog had this to say regarding school choice:

"So far the only argument I have heard against this school choice proposal is the highly offensive one that "teachers cannot be accountable because the home is what matters." To that, I have a simple suggestion. Let us simply quit wasting money on poor, black kids from single-parent homes by trying to educate them. They are doomed to failure anyway. I'm not so sure that if you are poor and black, but have two parents, you can succeed, either, so let us say that any two of the three disqualifies you from an education. We could save a whole lot of money that way, that could be better spent putting swimming pools into all the suburban middle schools."

This is how most conservatives feel in regards to school choice, look at any conservative who supports public education and they will argue against the above quote, however, those that want to take down "government education" as they call it truly believe what Mr. Ewing is saying. I do however have to give him credit, at least he has guts to be honest about his feelings on school choice, OTBL'ers just continue to slander what is easy pickens, the union!
