Racism at the core
The Florida Supreme Court is currently hearing the Case on School Vouchers or as we call them in Florida--Opportunity Scholarships--the most appropriate name! This case revolves around the Blaine Laws that were set into motion as ways to prevent Government monies going to Catholic Schools, today trying to be used to prevent children, often poor and minority from gaining a better eduction in our floundering public school system.
Since their inception in the state of Florida, OS (opportunity scholarships) have shown remarkable results, particularly for those targeted, minorities.
During the time when White acheivement in 3rd grade level reading improved from 70 to 78 percent, Hispanics improved from 46 to 61 percent---dramatic! Blacks showed an even more impressive boost from 36% to 52% a 44% increase. Wow, that is amazing, unless your agaisnt the betterment of the minorities in question...hmm libs??
Graduation rates have shown an impressive increase too. Hispanics from 52% to 64% and Blacks from 48% to 57%, gains shown nowhere else in the country. It has been spurred by Florida's No Child Left Behind and the Opportunity Scholarship program.
The Institute for Justice via a FOI request has found that the schools have been motivated by and to improvement because of the Vouchers. Yes, These schools that were motivated to improve show they feared the economics of competition. In fact, the improvements are nearly only in the those under threat of the Voucher program. Schools who have preformed well, receiving a grade of A remained in the same category, as were those in the C category. Only those schools in the failing or threatened arena shown statistical improvement---exactly the intent of vouchers!
Yet, despite the overwhelming success' while targeting minorities and poor preforming schools and demonstrating that higher standards can improve education the naysayers remain unconvinced.
The gangs that ignore the success and the overwhelming improvements for these targets remain aligned against the betterment of the poor and minorities---is this not patently racist.
The ACLU, The NEA, The People for the American Way, and the other various leftist groups who proport to support the poor and minorites are the same ones standing in the way of improvement, are they afraid of success and the prospect to losing the only voting block they have left???? Racism at it worst!
