That was a really good article. Thanks for posting it. It sounded fair to me. I, too, am concerned that we don't have much information on whether faith-based programs are any more or less effective than secular ones. And if the faith-based are more effective, what about them makes them so. I have no doubt that a faith-based program is more effective for some of the people some of the time. I would be happier if we were doing this as a demonstration project. I hope enough data will be gathered to provide a good assessment on if and why they work and for whom. I was surprised to see how rarely AA is effective. And that's supposed to be one of the better programs. Karen

Found another interesting article at that site. We were talking about Jesse Jackson being stuck in a time warp earlier in the thread. tnr.com <snip> Jackson's greatest betrayal, of course, is to the cause of civil rights. He once played a small but energetic role in the civil rights movement. But his actions in the last 20 years have trivialized its moral salience and dented its prestige. Unable to reconcile himself to the strides made in the political and civil equality of black Americans, Jackson has perpetuated the lie of permanent black victimhood, whatever the context. For Jackson, it is forever 1965. <snip>
