We can all agree that the children of a country are its greatest resource.

Why then does the US spend nine times more on its military than it does on education?

Why does America choose to underfund predominantly black and poor schools? There is only one reason — to keep certain groups of people unemployable, form a permanent underclass and provide recruits for the military or jails — preferably private ones.

Public schools used to be the great leveler. Now they entrench poverty and they’re a national embarrassment. Politicians know exactly how bad public schools are. That’s why their kids go to private school.
