Let’s get real here. Obama and the Democrats don’t want ANY childen to be educated anywhere other than the indoctrination program they call “the public school system”. Secondly, he doesn’t want anyone who isn’t a member of the teachers union around our kids either.

Obama is not about stronger country, better education, whatever-he is about social justice-lower taxes produce higher revenues-he will have nothing of that- whats more important, is that rich pay more. Voucher program produces better results at lower cost-he will have nothing of that-everyone has to have the same education. Of cause elite excluded from that, or paying taxes.

Elections have consequences. You “fought for him, marched for him, stood in the rain for him”. Good. Maybe next time you’ll educate yourselves before you doom the rest of us to suffer for your stupidity. Enjoy, Obamorons.

D.c. is a lousy school system. They are a very high percentage black. The kids doing vouchers were found to improve a lot. Washington cost per pupil was outrageously high and it saved a lot of money giving vouchers.
The bottom line is money could go to non union teachers and the statists would risk control of the little sheeple.

Yeah, these folks supported Obama and look what happened. Parliament Funkadelic released an album called AMERICA EATS ITS YOUNG. It most likely meant something else for them, but to me it represents what’as going on with the American public school system. If Obama and the teacher’s unions couldn’t stomach 1700 measly kids being out of the system, you know they want all of our children as well. And when will Black folks realize that they’re being screwed by these damned beasts? The sad thing about this story is that the featured family would STILL vote for this MANIAC.

It’s not that they couldn’t find the money to continue the program. Rather, they were repaying the teacher’s union for it’s support.

In the Obamanation, schools are life support systems for unions and the machinery of political indoctrination. The relevance of children and the quality of education is tangential, at best. Here’s proof positive.

Closing this program is so brazen and disgraceful that I thought maybe they wouldn’t do it. If we had any kind of a party, the GOP would be showcasing this non-stop.

I really don’t feel too bad for these parents, they voted based on skin color. It is time for these parents to stand up and tell everyone that they made a mistake.

It’s all about the unions for this pres.

BTW he’s an assclown!

There seems to be a word that is not used once in this entire video. This word can go a long way toward answering her question. And that word is “union”. It is what conservatives have been yelling from the roof tops for years and somehow these women decided not to listen. They elected Obama, they believed him, they trusted this inexperienced rookie, they walked for him, they yelled out the car window for him. They got change they can believe in. My sympathy factor for them is zero.

I’m late to the thread, but thanks for saying that. I’ve been following Beck with this story for how long now?

Beck also has a link on his website where you can make donations to help all of these kids who’ve had the door to a decent education, slammed in their faces.

Knucklehead on May 4, 2009 at 11:23 PM

Yeah, but Allah is in the business of only searching for clips of Beck that will embarrass him, rather than pointing out how much of the news he’s reporting that no one else will. It’s really quite disgusting. He comes here (as I explained in my earlier comment) acting like he’s discovered someth8ing new… when in reality, this is old news, that AP’d have known about if he was paying attention.
