Where on Earth did you get that? No one is inferior to anyone else by Creation. However certain cultures excel in certain disciplines just as I'm sure you notice in your classroom boom.
My culture...African American doesn't cherish academic success as much as Jewish culture does. Are we inferior to Jews? Absolutely not. Is our culture different in terms of emphasis?
Yes!
We move, we dance, we run and jump and play hard. It's why so many of our kids are such good Athletes. Can Jews play football? Sure. But why do you see more of them going to Law school on academic scholarships than Blacks getting full ride schollies to dunk a Basketball?
Ans:
Culture. Not race...Culture.
I think some public schools fail their students, yes. I think that there are ways to fix the problem that do not require privatization
You do realize that the reason the housing problem happened was because the government mandated that banks give loans to people who couldn't afford it and then things cascaded from there. Again, our government's reach into business ended porrly. It's not the first time either. It has happened here in Roanoke several times.
Yes! And who is against school choice vouchers to free them from those failing Government run schools? Leftists.
Again, our government created the problem. I'm not sure that the creator of the problem wants to relinquish control.
And who is against tax free enterprise zones to spur economic growth in inner cities so more Blacks can own their private buisinesses?
Leftists.
Mandating that lenders give money to people who couldn't afford it was the problem and then everybody got in on the act. Govt created the problem and then by dragging it's feet kept the problem longer than it should have gone on. You don't slowly cut off the leg when it's infected.
When looking at the present model, sure. They pay for for teachers, and have a student body that overwealmingly has better parent engagement, less discipline issues among students, and students come from better home environments......among other factors that contribute to the skewed figures.
We ahve spent trillions on social programs since LBJ, how has that worked out? Govt is not the solution because govt is inherently wasteful
Poor kids do just as well. Study after study shows it and more importantly the Parents overwhelmingly favor them(vouchers)
Who is against it?
Leftists...especially in Teacher Unions.
I’m talking about the scale, not the socioeconomic background of the student. Scale private schools to the level you and others advocate for, and their success will be diminished while public schools will be even further diminished
Remember, privatization is bad when you are talking about health care and such......but good when you are talking about schools.......
Healthcare is much worse and more expensive since our govt decided to get too involved.

I'm saying to understand his views is to understand the prism of his Religion through which he spoke. You cannot separate the two because his views were animated by his Faith.
