Posted on March 3, 2011 at 10:57pmI have seen this first hand from a technology standpoint. The E-Rate program and Reduced lunch program offset technology initiatives based on a percentage of matching funds the government provides for schools. The biggest challenge is getting students to sign up because most of them are embarrassed to used vouchers and as a result, many schools cannot upgrade their outdated technology.
Report Post »franknshadow
Posted on March 4, 2011 at 1:00amThat sounds an awful lot like a steaming load of crap… I think the lunch program “matching funds,” are a huge incentive for school districts to enroll as many as possible in their programs, and inflate numbers, for funding purposes and for the purpose of creating more gov’t (union) jobs…. Difficult to find? Reluctant to enroll?? Maybe just tougher to coerce.. I’m just sayin…

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 10:57pmMy head is exploding after listening to these two. They somehow tossed multiple issues into the pot and blamed them the entire mess on the Wisconsin governor all in the name of “social justice”. Will someone please tell the liberal minority in this country that we have lived by the tenets of “equal justice” for over 200 years, not social justice. That is their invention.
Just heard on Fox that it will cost 7.5 million dollars to repair the damages made by the protesters to the Capitol building in Madison. Personally, I think the 14 AWOL Democrats should pay for part of that bill. If they had not skipped town and delayed the legislative process of the state of Wisconsin, those protesters would not have been there for two weeks to do that damage.

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 10:56pmtake a step back and look at the big picture Ed and Al. If schools are to be judge based on their teachers, and the teachers HAVE to start teaching (not baby sitting). Then won’t the inner city schools get better? Won’t inner city children become smarter? The reason the liberals don‘t like this is because they won’t be able to push their opinions on the chirldren anymore. the parents can move thei kids to school they like! and the liberals won’t be able to brainwash our future generations anymore! which is good for everyone.

Posted on March 3, 2011 at 10:53pmI had to stop the video right after Ed started talking because they are complete morons if they can’t understand their own contradictions-
Ed mentions that it’s racist = stupid
….but wait, there’s more
It doesn’t help those below the poverty level—- wrong! It provides an equal opportunity for them AND the next point Ed makes is completely contradictory- It forces those under the poverty level to pay for other people that will benefit from it.
They are disconnected from reality because those under the poverty level not only don’t pay income tax, but they get money back in the form of credits that are applied directly to the return and not to the taxable income.
If most people were aware of the way the tax code benefits the poor they would be driven mad because hard work is being disincentivized.

It brings to mind the comments I’ve heard progressives say recently about Clarence Thomas going “back to the fields”. I don’t understand how progressives have the ability to call conservatives “racists” or “haters”.
THEY are the ones that categorize, isolate, and offer different strategies for different groups.
I hope and pray for a leader that will call this exactly what it is, with boldness and clarity.
We truly need a mature, clear delineation of the pure differences in philosophy and principles between progressives and conservatives.

There are some words in the English language that almost all citizens consider evil or bad. Some of these words are a racist, conspiracy, steal, fraud, thief, crook, rapist or terrorist. Rich, socialist, communist, fascist or charlatan have bad implications with many citizens. One tried and true propaganda tactic to discredit an adversary or agenda is to link the subject with one of these words. It is not necessary to prove that these words actually apply to the adversary, with propaganda you only make the accusation and repeat it until the public links the adversary with the evil word.
The wannabe tyrants have invested considerable time and money to make the word “RACIST” so dreaded, feared and terrible. They have been so successful that is only necessary to mention something in the same sentence with the word racist to demonize it.

Do yourselves a favor and never refer to Sharpton as “Reverend”, he is nothing of the sort. He only sees people in colors and has one he hates; whites. This man is one of the most racist in the MSM. Do yourselves another favor; never use the word “reverse racism”. It implies only whites are allowed to be racist as if they have a monopoly on it. Racism is RACISM no matter who spews it.
I’m gonna go now and apply to the United ***** College; do you think I’ll get it?

Posted on March 4, 2011 at 1:01pmWhat about the DC kids who got their vouchers taken from them by Obama? Were these not inner-city kids? It was one of the first things he did. They were allowed to finish the current school year, but were unable to use the vouchers the next school year. I‘m sure it was boon for the DC teachers’ union.

Posted on March 4, 2011 at 1:39pmUm….. The facts are the exact opposite of these two a$$clowns statements. In DC, San Antonio, AND Milwaulkee, the voucher program pilots were OVERWHELMINGLY utilized by inner-city and minority students. In San Antonio, it DOUBLED parental satisfaction with the quality of their children’s education. In DC, the voucher families rallied and protested when congress and Obama stripped them of their freedom of educational choice.
Report Post »Vouchers have worked everytime and everyplace they have been used, and do a better job of racial and socio-economic integration than the public schools do. Read the research and get a clue Al!

Posted on March 4, 2011 at 1:53pmIf a parent does not use the voucher for the benefit of their children then they are idiots. I don’t want my money going towards our crap school system. I would love to have my voucher to choose where my kids go to school.
idiots

Posted on March 4, 2011 at 3:45pmSTOP!! with the racist claims. The vouchers have no race requirements or prohibitions. If they use them they do, if not not.

Posted on March 4, 2011 at 11:47pmWont use them? What? They were using them in DC until that program was killed for being too successful. Face it our government is trying to keep us dumb. Why else would they have passed “no child left behind” to make all the smart ones have to sit there and do nothing all day, while little Johnny learns how to add 2+2. Two words for those with kids HOME SCHOOL!
