How misguided you are in the framework of a democratic republic.

First there is the Federal Constitution and the branches of government. Second there is the State of Tennessee and it's constitution, and,of course, it's three branches of government.

Wrong again. If you care to really look at the TRUTH on the free phones look here: http://transition.fcc.gov/Bureaus/Common_C… It's it called the Lifeline Program.

The REAL story of The Food Stamp Program for the people looking for the truth and not someones fantasy.

Just wondering, since all those programs were really put in place to help the whites, and the poor black folks were unable of get education and decent jobs, and all of that.....

How do you account for all those blacks who have succeeded in getting out of poverty?

How do you account for all the educated, successful black lawyers, doctors, educators, businessmen, civil servants? How do you account for the growing and prosperous black middle class?

Now, that is more like it! You have posted a truism that many people just gloss over.

I see you use the gop, conservative narrative of "more free stuff".

Who is the YOU in that statement? I am confused about the statement.

I agree with most of what you said. But I have learned something here from a poster that African Americans do not like the national sit down restaurants.

Yes, I understand your way of thinking.

Exactly what Grove and I have been saying.

It is the "blacks in poverty" mindset that is the underlying problem. Nothing will change as long as that mindset stays the same.

I have no doubt that lot of poor blacks share your victimization mindset and there are plenty of articles for you to choose from.

I miss-spelled a word that I know you will catch me on. The correct spelling of the word is didactic, not diadactic.

You might as well let that value thing v poverty rest. You are looking at it through your privileged, middle class eyes.

Poverty has a direct effect on values.

I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

I had a teacher use the facilitation method in one of my advanced high school courses. It was fantastic.

I don't know that most teachers or even most classes can handle that kind of structure, but at least some portion of that type of work can be very beneficial.

I like to pin you down so that you will admit to the truth.

I give references to what I post whether it agrees with my thinking or not. I don't play favorites.

I have said that this nation has been struggling with the education of urban impoverished kids for many years.

Thanks for the learned and informed reply.

When I read articles slamming charters, vouchers and ASDs it is amazing how often they are written by teachers unions. Or others with a vested money interest in the status quo.

I don't know the springboard to drive innovation in education, but I am guessing that competetion for students, and the funds that go with them, is a real good place to start.
