Obama’s Education Hypocrisy
October 9, 2008
Thomas Sowell echoes what John McCain brought up in Tuesday’s debate: Barack Obama’s rhetoric doesn’t match his record.
Sowell notes that in Obama’s adopted hometown of Chicago, “the education situation…is one of the worst in the nation for the children– and one of the best for the unionized teachers.
Fewer than one-third of Chicago’s high-school juniors meet the statewide standards on tests. Only 6 percent of the youngsters who enter Chicago high schools become college graduates by the time they are 25 years old.
Chicago teachers are doing well. A beginning teacher, fresh out of college, earns more than the city’s median income and that can rise to more than $100,000 over the years. “
If Barack Obama sat on a foundation board with Bill Ayers to “reform” Chicago’s public education system, why do Obama’s daughters attend an elite private school? Also, guess who’s on the board of that school? None other than Michelle Obama. Senator Obama is all talk, no action. He will be an absolute disaster if elected President. WAKE UP AMERICA!!
UPDATE: Investors Business Daily documents Ayers socialist education agenda. Ayers even met with Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez in 2006!
