It doesn't seem like the average black parent is fooled by this rhetoric over tests. They want choice in schools when they are faced with debilitated institutions. My comment on drugs is furthered by the defeat of Bob Barr in a primary election by a Libertarian opponent that criticised his stand on medical marijuana and his blockage of the initiative in Wash. D.C. supporting medical marijuana. ANTI-FREE SPEECH Unbelievably, Barr has even gone so far as to say that free speech and the first amendment should not apply to people who merely advocate drug policy reform. In a Congressional Committee hearing, Barr shocked even then-current drug czar, General McCaffrey, with his assertion that drug policy reform advocates be prosecuted under federal anti-racketeering RICO statutes. McCaffrey called the proposal "chilling." Out of tune.
