This perspective unmistakably reveals the unwholesomeness, not to put it more strongly,
of our way
of life: our obsession with sex, violence, and the pornography
of «making it;» our addictive dependence on drugs, «entertainment,» and the evening news; our impatience with anything that limits our sovereign freedom
of choice,
especially with the constraints
of marital and familial ties; our preference for «nonbinding commitments;» our third - rate
educational system; our third - rate morality; our refusal to draw a distinction between right and wrong, lest we «impose» their morality on us; our reluctance to judge or be judged; our indifference to the
needs of future generations, as evidence by our willingness to saddle them with a huge national debt, an overgrown arsenal
of destruction, and a deteriorating environment; our unsated assumption, which underlies so much
of the propaganda for unlimited abortion, that only those
children born for success ought to be allowed to be born at all.
Charter schools were established to offer a new opportunity to
children,
especially kids
of color and kids from low - income families, who didn't have access to a schools that fit their
educational needs.
We agree on many things and some things I feel, as a parent, are not in the best interest
of children,
especially children that are poor and have special
educational needs.
Although I strongly believe in the
need for more representation and more political action, unfortunately, too often, having black people in positions
of power —
especially politicians — does not necessarily further the
educational causes
of black
children in America.
