Minorities! Just say NO to Demon-KKK-Rats' Failed Schools
As documented by the U.S. Census Bureau, the worst inner-city schools
are run by incompetent racist Demon-KKK-Rats.
Our children deserve only the best teachers. Yet, teachers unions
dominated by incompetent racist Demon-KKK-Rats place 98% of minority
children in "special-ed" classes with low expectations just so these
incompetent racist teachers can receive extra "special-ed" funding.
Not to worry, the Dems et al with quota systems to fill treat the
preferentially poorly educated with special priviledges in hiring. So it
appears that those most poorly educated will get priveledged preference in
hiring consideration and a job that could lead to innefficiency of
business or sue lining the pockets of the trial attorneys making bad
education everyone's burden. the only winner appears to be in the
benefiting of trial lawyers; businesses, the poorly educated, and everyone
else looses.
Under the courage and leadership of President George W. Bush, the
Federal Leave No Child Behind Act ensures that incompetent racist
teachers do not place minority children in "special-ed" classes. The
Federal Leave No Child Behind Act ensures that teachers, too, must have
report cards, and only those with A+ grades have the privilege of
teaching our children.

U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige
Good evening Fellow Americans.
We live in a great country.
A nation of good people in pursuit of great ideals defined by our
Founders, defended by citizen-soldiers, and delivered to us.
We inherited a great nation.
So must our children! No nation whatever the size of its armed forces or
economy can sustain greatness unless it educates all, not just some, of
its citizens. No one understands that better than President Bush.
He's always had a compassionate vision for education: Students
challenged by high standards; teachers armed with proper resources;
parents empowered with information and choices.
Young adults with meaningful diplomas in their hands not despair in
their hearts. He saw that many schools shared his vision. They have
dedicated teachers, outstanding administrators, involved parents.
They are in cities, suburbs and rural communities. But there were also
schools where young minds were left unengaged; good teachers left
unsupported; standards left unused.
Kids who passed through these schools were robbed of their life's
potential.
And so were we.
Other Presidents tried to fix this problem. But even as education
spending skyrocketed, the "achievement gap" persisted.
On a personal note: In my youth I attended segregated schools. I was in
college when the Supreme Court announced Brown versus Board of
Education. I felt liberated that day.
I thought true equality would soon follow. It did not.
While Brown opened the schoolhouse door to all it did not guarantee
quality education for all. President Bush saw this two-tiered system as
unacceptable! He proposed a plan High standards; measurable goals; real
consequences and resources to get the job done.
He promised results.
He delivered results.
The President's first legislative proposal was the No Child Left Behind
Act.
This bipartisan law raises the bar for all students no matter their race
or income level.
It challenges what the President calls the "soft bigotry of low
expectations." Its goal is simple: all students read and do math at
grade level.
States, not Washington, set the standards. Schools that need assistance
get assistance.
Support for education under President Bush has gone up 36 percent with
more funds requested for disadvantaged students than during the entire
Clinton administration.
Casey Stengel would say: "You can look it up!"
Now schools are held accountable for making real progress. If they
don't, parents have real choices such as after-school homework help, or
the choice of another school.
No Child Left Behind is working.
All across America test scores are rising; students are learning; the
achievement gap is closing; teachers and principals are beaming with
pride! President Bush also increased Pell Grants funding so one million
more young adults can afford college.
Although much work remains, our choice is simple: We can either build on
these achievements -- or return to the days of excuses and indifference.
Our opponents voted for No Child Left Behind. They praised it then. Now
they attack it.
They say No Child Left Behind should be watered down, schools can't
handle change, some children just can't learn. We say, do not
underestimate our public schools do not underestimate our teachers and
never underestimate our children!
We say high standards, accountability and achievement are on the right
track and we're not going back!
This election may be multiple choices, but there's only one correct
choice. To go forward, not back. To choose compassion, not cynicism. To
set high standards, not settle for second-best.
To elect a true "reformer with results" not a "Johnny Come Lately" with
mere promises! Only one candidate has worked to create an education
system worthy of a great nation.
President George W. Bush.
And now, let's take a look at a school where No Child Left Behind is
helping disadvantaged students.

May God Bless You
