The reason for this is due to brain drain. How many of those educated minorities are going to go back to the poor communities they grew up in after they get out of school? You have to raise up the education at the base level, and the way to do that is by improving the K-12 schools. The best way to improve urban, and any for that matter, schools is through vouchers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22328391.post-1156978338302592412006-08-30T18:52:00.000-04:002006-08-30T18:52:00.000-04:00It's funny really. When I was a kid in elementary ...It's funny really. When I was a kid in elementary school I was taught that race doesn't matter. I had Dr. King's idea of judging people based on their character driven into my brain. Then as I got older schools started saying "Wait! The color of your skin DOES matter!" by giving minorities benefits simply because they're minorities (and don't give me the socio-economic angle. There are poor and rich people of all races). The people who are working the hardest against Dr. King's dream are the people who are fighting so hard against the MCRI. The fact of the matter is if the MCRI came up back in the 60's, it would be considered progressive. In the beginning of the 21st century, it's considered to be a step back. I just want a liberal to explain to me how we can become a color blind society when schools are picking people based on race. Or do liberals not want a color blind society?Dan Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00519048076998229138noreply@blogger.com
