So the latest faux-flap in the post-racial age many of us hoped that the election of Barack Obama would usher in is, naturally, about race. Guest-hosting on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Norah O’Donnell suggested to the assembled throng of rag-tag plagiarists and John Demjanjuk enthusiasts that former Speaker Newt Gingrich’s jab at the president was coded racism.

Faux-flap!
An excellent characterization.
“Coded racism”?
We don’t need examples of “coded racism”. We have an actual example of “racism” that we should ALL be talking about.
Anyone looked at any inner city school lately?
Crime IN the school. Drugs IN the school. Graduation rates?
Of course, my solution is to put parents back in the driver’s seat.
While as a little L libertarian, I’m against taxes.
But if we are to have theft by force, let’s do “vouchers”.
(I did a transition plan for the Hands Across New Jersey tax revolt group.
Essentially, it was a FORTY YEAR plan to unwind “public education”.
- Give EVERY child a RED VOUCHER for a specific amount that is EQUAL to the highest tuition in the State.
- RED vouchers must be spent at their assigned school; GREEN vouchers can be spent at ANY school.
- Every year for the first 20 years, 5% of the RED turn GREEN. Every year for the second 20 years, the amount decreases 5%.
- The Teachers in a school are given the school. They must begin to compete.
- There are no school standards; parents will buy the best education for their children as they see it.
- Schools must post a bond to ensure that they don’t “go bust” taking the money and running in mid-year.
- Politicians are out of the Education business. Federal Department of Education is closed.
We don’t need “no stinkin gooferment skrools”; they’re racist!
