Yeah, I'm gonna leave you guys to your white supremacist daisychain in peace.

No intelligent person can argue what you said. The educational opportunities exist in this country for ALL races but it seems that the majority of blacks do not want to take advantage of these opportunities to better theirselves and ultimately their families. The small percentage of blacks in this country who value and receive an education become solid, responsible and accountable citizens. The majority of blacks just make excuses, blame others and continue to be inferior, racist burdens on our society. I think it is high time that we just recognize that these blacks can't change, will not change, do not want to change and really do not have the intellectual ability to learn and change.

Why is the only race of people to complain about our public school system are the BLACKS? Why can you go to any high school and ask any teacher who are the students they have the most problems with and the reply will be almost always, the BLACKS. Why do high schools from coast to coast have to lower their academic standards to insure that one race of people will pass, the BLACKS. Why do colleges from coast to coast have lower academic entrance requirements for only one race, the BLACKS.

We all know what the problem is and it is not the school districts or the teachers,

Well said. If blacks in this country spent a fraction of the time that they do in making excuses and blaming others on being better parents and realizing education is the key, blacks would not be viewed as inferior.

It is pretty sad that Asians can come to this country from very poor and imbattled backgrounds and in a very short period of time become educated, responsible and accountable citizens. These people make most of blacks in this country look pathetic.

I am a black man who has two college degrees and have a very successful career. The public school districts worked just fine for me and for millions and millions of students of all colors in this country every single year who want to learn and want to be in school. If a student has no desire to learn for one reason or another, it doesn't matter what school system is used. So let's quit making excuses and avoiding the real issue.

Education has never been stressed in the majority of our black families in this country and that is quite evident. This has been a historic generational problem. So let's quit blaming others when the problem is something that has nothing to do with the public school districts. Unless the perception and need for getting an education is changed in the average black family in this country, our people will continue to be viewed as inferior. I was taught differently.

The correct grammatical phrasing for your statements is "...have worked for centuries..." and "...are in the mindset..."

Apparently your level of basic education falls beneath that of this particular lazy, unmotivated primate.

And "evolutionized" is not a word.

Isn't it amazing that the public school districts around this country has worked for centuries for all races except blacks. The only changes that need to be made is in the mindset of the average black in this country to value an education and not to act like out of control, parasitical, ignorant vermin. Quit making excuses for these lazy, unmotivated, evolutionized primates.

Public/ Government education has run its course. Its time to open up options to parents who realize this. Its time to make private school tuition deductible on federal income taxes.

Why is there "no reason" to expect this bill to be any different?

Why is there a reason to expect it to be any different? Has our education gotten better since "integration"? Our literacy rate has dropped in a horrifying manner since the 1930s and no liberal or conservative policy change has ever made it anything but progressively worse.

Obama may not have irresponsibly yanked the plug out of every Bush policy (doing so would have most definitely done more harm than good), but he's no George Bush. And measured by intelligence ALONE the two are a far cry from each other. Obama on his worst day is going to do better for education than GW did.

This presumes that Obama is actually in charge of something on the educational front, which he is not. That's why I won't waste my time blaming him for the contents of the bill anymore than I would Bush for NCLB, but I will blame him for promoting it.

This is not "No Child Left Behind". Reading that legislation as a means of getting the gist of Obama's plan is like saying you know what plays the Giants are going to run because you read the Seahawks playbook.

This is no defense of government manipulation as a whole but can we blame GW for GW's wrongdoings and Obama for his own?

...I didn't say I do know, I haven't seen the drafted legislation yet. But I did see (and read) all 650+ pages of the "No Child Left Behind" law. But even reading that doesn't cover all of the behind the scenes federal negotiations(read: manipulations) surrounding it. Frankly, there's no good reason to expect that this bill will be any different; pushing the meaningful language of a law almost to obscurity is the norm. And don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming Obama; elites have been pulling the strings on government education for a long time now.

I would not need a school bill to profile a school or the children attending so I could recruit them for the military, college, jobs.....(get it). I could use information all ready available through the internet - school websites, census, local/community news, etc... Why put billions into this to get information that even someone who only knows how to google could find.

Like @BaddaDanU - I really would like to know where you are getting your "facts".

If you wouldn't mind, could you copy and paste a few of those gajillion negative stipulations that are tied to this bill? Considering that you seem to have some inside information on the topic it might be easier for those of us who are less informed to process exactly what's at stake here if you were to provide a word for word example. Giving the military access to our childrens' records sounds very ominous indeed. You could start with that one and we could take it from there.

Although it is a bit puzzling why a government with such a shadowy penchant for deception would even need to legalize, much less document, their intention to avail themselves to anyone's records. There are countless means (legal and otherwise) to accomplish the same things for a much cheaper pricetag than the billions they intend to put into the school system.

...just like "No Child Left Behind". A bill that politicians only mention the supposedly big parts of while they fail to mention the gajillion stipulations tied to that money(like giving the military access to all of our children's information for "recruiting" purposes). And to make it even better, they'll pressure state governments to whip the locals into line by threatening to take away some federal funding.

Don't believe the hype.

I hope it works!

WE have to start really taking our children's education seriously - we as parents and grandparents need to give our children the support they need to be good students and we MUST also address the educators and their skills, tools, support, and effort that they bring into the classroom. I expected my children and expect my grandchildren to be prepared to learn when they enter school I EXPECT that the teachers are ready to teach and as a nation we can't go on trying to just get by with our education system. I pray that Obama can successfully introduce systems that foster advancement in education.
