You want to get rid of public schools without those millions would either be forced into for profit private schools are go without. You really need to think through the implications if your ideology. This isn't 1840.

Number one reason why I will NEVER vote Democrat. They INSIST on keeping poor and minority kids TRAPPED in their horrible public schools, which many times are the most highly-funded in the US. Examples: Camden, NJ, Washington, DC, etc.

Public Schools are no more than a Democrats' guaranteed jobs program for the teachers unions in exchange for political donations and votes, regardless of how many kids' futures they ruin.

This has nothing to do with democrats its just a matter of fact that schools are better for the rich and worse for the poor.

Yes, the schools are better in the rich areas. Why against the voucher program to allow poor kids to go to those schools?

As for police disproportionately arrest minorities, you'd better show they have policy and actual procedure to arrest minorities but not whites. White is the majority of this country therefore, they have greater QUANTITIES drug users, but what about RATE?

Here's a fresh idea, don't use drugs and obey the law!

LOL! Support the Republicans and their school voucher program. Your problem will go away FAST.

Do you not know your Democrat masters hate Betsy Devos, a school voucher proponent, so much that they want her DEAD DEAD DEAD! Your Democrat slave masters do not want poor black kids to go to good schools and they want you stay on their plantation.

Nice victim blaming did you miss the part where I said whites use more drugs and are arrested less? The racist justice system is huge obstacle to success for many minorities. Of course I'm sure you like it that way can't have the working class get to uppity now can we?

I didn't know law breakers are victims. In the real world, they are called criminals.
