I'd ask Sen. Schumer how it would be possible for Secretary of Education DeVos to make education any worse than it is for many Americans. I'd suggest to Rep. Richmond that if the grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan were the Secretary of Education and wanted to sabotage black academic achievement, he couldn't find a better method for doing so than keeping our public school system as it is. Many black politicians and educators would never have their own children attend the rotten, dangerous schools that are so much a part of our big cities. Many black parents, captured by these schools, would like to get their children out. But that's not in the interest of the education establishment, which wants a monopoly on education. Black politicians and academics are the establishment's facilitators. That explains their hostility to Betsy DeVos. She would like to give more parents a choice.It is no different in Australia. When the so-called 'progressives' take control of the agenda we see the power brokers saying one thing and doing another. We see that the ones who suffer the most are the very ones that the 'do-gooders' claim to be 'helping.' We see unions making ideological deals that elevates the union boss up the promotional ladder while at the same time causing the union members to lose their jobs, Whyalla and Townsville losing their mines and factories being a case in point among many.
Mugabe once replied to a journalists question of why he allowed so much farming land to lie fallow: "when people starve they rely more on the government"...just as the 'progressives' like to control the population through ignorance, welfare dependency and bureaucratic control over as many avenues of private lives as possible.
BTW I really have problem using the term 'progressive' to define the ideologues of the left, regressive would be a far more eloquent descriptor of their purposes and intentions. Another case of semantics claiming lies as 'truth' (fake news) and the ever ongoing trashing of JC values.
