1 Why, Because Barry hates black people.

2 Oh, and can you imagine how many bricks the NAACP would shit it a full white president pulled this crap instead of a a half white president?

3 The sad thing is, the amount of money this program cost is *miniscule* in comparison to even a state budget. To give a little perspective, the federal budget for 2009 contains an estimated $568 million for adult education (PDF warning). The $18 million that was cut to voucher programs is a drop in that bucket. This is so obviously not a funding cut to save money.

Reasontv (or someone else) needs to find these ladies in two years and ask them how they feel their children's education was affected by two years of non-choice schools. Spots should be made from their comments, and they need to run on BET (assuming BET will agree to run them).

By the way, that report I linked proudly announces that education funding will be reduced by almost $4 billion. It also claims that NCLB was a success. Somehow I don't think that either of those statements will be making headlines.
