Our Character, Our Future: on Education

Black education historically focused on family & church

[Liberals] argue that black Americans have never made any progress in their history without a government initiative. This assertion is repeated like a religious mantra by the liberals who act as budget shills for the public sector bureaucracy.

When will public policy that affects the black community begin to reflect the real facts of black history? When will we stop accepting approaches to social challenges such as poverty or education based on the false assumptions of black incapacity? When will we begin to demand policies that reflect the strengths, the character, and the positive values that are the real heritage of black America?

Let communities decide school rules like all-male academies

Inner-city black males need special help and attention. Is it better to give it to them in al-male schools, or in the all-male prisons they now populate in disproportionate numbers?

[Liberals] supported the creation of a welfare state that helped to destroy the social infrastructure of the black community. Not they want to quash community-based efforts to correct their disastrous handiwork. This is wrong, stupid, and unfair. In Detroit and elsewhere, the dogmatic liberal judges and ideologues should get out of the way and let communities seek answers to their problems. Let the people go.
