Homeschooling, school vouchers, accountability, all are ways to combat 'the soft bigotry of low expectations' when it comes to educating our children to become successful and productive members of society. That goal isn't a race thing, its a human thing. The demographics of 'the educated' can, however, be described in racial and ethnic terms, but only at the risk of being counterproductive. There is evidence now that homeschooling among Black families is on the rise, the results of which can only be good for the kids, the families, and society.
What matters is what counts, and what counts is our children, not brick and mortar schools, not teachers unions, not bureaucrats.
