• W240147820 abstract "America has been committed to equal opportunity in education ever since the historic Brown vs. Board of Education decision of 1954. But our country will never be able to achieve this commitment until we open up choice and competition in our inner-city schools. The majority of children in our inner cities are not learning. Test scores are abysmal, graduation rates are atrocious, and overall performance is so low that many schools have been shut down altogether. Entire school districts have been taken over by state boards of education. This collapse of public education is devastating to urban communities and the people who live there. Families refuse to purchase homes in neighborhoods where schools are failing. The stability of inner-city communities, like that of the suburbs, is determined by their ability to attract strong families. Communities that cannot offer families good schools are condemned to failure and deterioration. What happens to the children is even worse. When children can't read or do even elementary math, they are doomed in a 21st-century economy. We are further marginalizing an entire community that is already socially and economically isolated. We only hurt ourselves when we produce a bumper crop of workers cursed to compete in international markets with unacceptable skills. The current political order is unwilling to rock the boat. Co-conspiring politicians remain wedded to a system of waste and mediocrity because of the fundraising prowess of teachers unions and other interest groups. Inner city politicians, whose children more often than not attend private schools or the best public schools, are protecting a system that discourages reform, chokes choice, and ultimately condemns children to a life of social and economic dysfunction. I am not against public schools. I am against unresponsive and irresponsible public schools where educational mediocrity goes unchallenged. I am against public schools that only expect the least from our children. I am against public schools where improvement is stifled by strict union rules and regulations. I am against public schools that imitate the despair of their surrounding neighborhoods and fail to conquer that despair with the tools of learning and the virtue of hope. There is no excuse for this. Poor children can learn. Set the standards high, and children will meet those standards. I know, because my wife and I run a school where inner-city children do succeed. We have 482 students at Allen Christian School, many of them poor. Their parents are making an enormous sacrifice to send them here. We have hundreds on our waiting list. …" @default.
