There are far too many very intelligent rabid GOP folks for me to buy that education ALONE is a panacea..

NOT formal education anyway..

My dad and most of his sibs (half Chinese) were delivered into this world by a Black woman in the slums they grew up in ... in their parlour... My dad was still leerie of Black folks.. despite having them as friends.. IN university he had close friends that were Jewish (His BEST friend) and Black.. He went OUT OF HIS way to introduce us to his Black friends and spend time with them.. That is education that changes society.. not a university degree... My dad had many flaws.. but he wanted us to be better than him in ALL ways...

At my dad's funeral I was regaled with stories by an older Black gent that was the son of the woman that delivered my dad and most of his sibs.. He had only kind words for my dad and his dad, my Grandpa.. He acknowledged that there were 'things' but they still looked out for each other.. again .. THAT is education...
