If you really want to help black people, stop talking about Donald Sterling and start talking about this… | Young Conservatives

If you really want to help black people, stop talking about Donald Sterling and start talking about this… | Young Conservatives



The best thing we could do for the poor of any color, the best way to "level the playing field," would be to take the money we are already paying for each child's education ($10,000/ child on average nationwide) and give it to the people who know the child best, love them the most, and profit the most (besides the child of course) from him being well educated; the parent. Let the parent decide what type of education his child needs. The market will respond with more options than we could possibly imagine right now and EVERY child would succeed. 



I read an article written half a decade before the Ma Bell break up (for my younger readers, there was a time when there was only one phone company and everyone had no choice but to use them). That article speculated that there would come a time when technology would be such that if someone called you, whatever phone was nearest to you would ring (all phones were wired to the wall at the time, by the way).



"Missed it by this much" -Maxwell Smart



No one even imagined what today's "phones" are. It was the break up of the Ma Bell monopoly that allowed market forces to create the Blackberry, iPhone, and Galaxy 4.



Imagine what could be possible if we broke the stranglhold of the teachers union and allowed technology and market forces to REALLY take on education!?



Yes, the most democratic, the most non-racist thing we could do would be to provide EVERY parent with the means to provide EVERY child with a custom designed education- the Smart Phone of the classroom!

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
