The Real Racial Divide: Education

Does racism still exist in the United States against blacks? Yes.

Who exactly is perpetrating it?

The race-baiting, minority-amassing politicians in league with the selfish, money aggrandizing teachers' unions, both of which will stop at nothing to prevent meaningful and cost effective education reform.

In this respect, there is one word to sum up their opposition: vouchers.
If every family possessed the power to enroll their children wherever they chose, regardless of the zipcode or proximity mandates, public schools would be force to compete for students, and therefore for the tax dollars cashed in through student attendance.

Wiseburn School District has capitalized on promoting a "private school education at a public school price" by tapping into the frustration of residents in Los Angeles County who petitioned for permission to enroll their students in other school instead Inglewood Unified. Imagine the innovations that would emerge from competing public schools dressing up their ground and instilling accountability in district and site staff.

This change would empower black families and their children, who now must either settle for the dysfunctional and dangerous public schools in local neighborhoods who face no pressure to improve.

Nothing has so entrenched modern-day segregation than the zipcode laws, and they can be repealed in a trice.
