No one is against good schools, except maybe the democrats. Look at how well they run the school systems. i am with you on this one. Toss out the unions and let schools compete for money and watch quality improve. Who suffers when Unions ( ei, democrats and liberals) the poor.
And if everyone gets better schools, then why do you insist on calling it reparations? Why not make a thread called "Improve Public Education?" Methinks you are just itching for a fight.

It is astounding how you pass off what you think or expect as "fact" without bothering to look it up.
Explain this to me:
According to the CDC, the proportion of blacks who use illicit drugs is very slightly higher than the proportion of whites. We are talking about 8.1% of whites to 9.7% of blacks. And yet blacks are 4 times more likely to be given jail time for possession and make up 44% of all people arrested for possession of illegal drugs. Drug possession is responsible for about 1/5 of all who are currently in jail.
As far as the whole "unions and education" argument, that is so far removed from any reality as to be ridiculous. Not surprisingly, people who push this perspective are generally basing their findings on hearsay or anecdotal evidence, and not looking at the data (and the few that are do no control for confounding factors).
