The word "free" is the most improperly used word in the English language. Public education is not free, it is paid for by the public, and the per student cost is massive. We, the American public, pay for the lack of quality education in a thousand different ways. From preposterously lazy and expensive union contracts, where the workers take months off every year and student classroom hours are dwindling, to the huge drop out rate in our city districts, to crime, re-training and lost opportunity to succeed as citizens. The Democratic party is responsible for the decay, ignorance and waste of the public education system in America. And it is most apparent in school districts where black attendance is highest and where the bluest of blue politicians spill out their phony rhetoric year after year "I care about children". After this many years, and this much evidence of the failed one size fits all government system, the logical conclusion is much of the Democratic party are filled with racists, just as they were during the civil rights movement and during the fight for emancipation. Anyone who would battle tooth and nail reform of our inner city school where the high school drop out rate is 50%, where literacy rates are appalling, where math scores are some of the worst in the civilized world, by preventing parents from allowing choice, is disgraceful. One day the far left liberal wing of Democratic party will be held accountable for their slick racism hidden under the veil of caring for the children. When that day will come will I have no idea, but I believe will come, just as it came to Democratic party racist politicians like George Wallace.
