Utterly despicable.
But this is an understatement, an entirely inadequate phrase to capture my feelings about how the NAACP and the teachers’ union have joined forces to undermine educational opportunities for minority children.
There are honest left-wingers, who are misguided but genuinely wish to make America a better place. But that’s definitely not the right way to describe people who put the narrow interests of teacher unions ahead of helping disadvantaged kids.
This new video from Reason TV has the sordid details.
Both Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams have very appropriate comments on this issue.
