And the Debate, I Mean Forum Continues on Education

Joe Biden really needs to really stop using the word minority. Bill Richardson is so bored with the whole debate that he yawned right before it was his turn. I think its key that Richardson compared access to education to access to water, that is as a basic human right. But again why the term minority. Are we talking numbers or political power, that analysis has to happen when people, especially candidates chose to use certain terms.

Finally someone, (Obama saves the day), talks about the lack of money behind No Child Left Behind (although I won’t even get into the issue of the problems with the program itself.

What I am waiting for someone to mention are two issues about education: the tracking of children of color and the language access issues that essentially shu non-English dominant parents out.

Collective moans just filled the media room as Hillary Clinton said it takes a village to raise…yes we know, it takes a village of well meaning white liberals.
