Just remember this, y’all. Not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord…” will enter Heaven. Those two rottenflesh-eating maggots, sharpton and jackson, also have the title of “”Reverend”" attached to their names. Since when have they preached the gospel of Jesus Christ? Since when have they preached forgiveness to those who have transgressed against you? Where is their church? The answer is they never have and they dont have one. What they do “preach” are the ways of Satan, of accusation, of guilt, of bitterness, anger, envy, strife.

Enough said B. Birch! Way to sum it all up!

What a disgusting article. Putting aside your baseless attacks on the NAACP- and your defense of a man who- you and many others laugh at each time he opens his mouth- you lost all credibility when you took the off gloves and chose to disrespect a man of the cloth using the “F-Bomb”! Granted you are free to say what you want in America but dude….you took it too far! It’s one thing if you attacked Rev. Darby’s argument- but you crossed the line when you spewed the “F-Bomb” directly at the “Rev.”

You don’t agree with him- we get that, but the Bible says, ‘touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm.’ You did him harm when you attacked not the man but his position.

After giving the Lord your ass to kiss in your article, you should be afraid to sleep at night. Then again, as a “spawn of satan”, you know where you will end up anyway.
Perhaps, if you care one iota about your soul, you should ask God to have mercy on you. It might not hurt- since at the rate you are going, you are headed to hell with “gasoline underwear” on! FAST!

After reading this totally ridiculous article, you don’t have to wait to put me back on a boat to Africa or a wagon to the plantation, I am leaving tonight because I would be better off as far away from the likes of you. If you haven’t been poor or black in America, shut your mouth. I can’t believe the energy you used condemning the NAACP who has been on the forefront for justice and equality just like other organizations. Had it not been for organizations such as the NAACP, we would still be on the farm and there would be no need for this discussion. However, I am sure you would be tickled pink if we were but guess what? We worked our way off of the farm using the same public schools you are seeking to destroy. Sure, there are problems; but, we can thank folks like you who refuse to accept changes. Realistically, private schools are not about to accept public school problems. We need to fix whatever is broken with our public schools. You will always have failing schools as long as folks of means have choices and poor folks don’t. We can create those choices within our public schools. As long as you make up rules as you go along for “no Child left behind” when that simply meant “no Child of means left behind”. Let’s recognize the failures of public schools for what they are and work to fix the system. Public Schools even at its worst is responsible for educating even the worst of us.
Senator Ford may mean poor and failing students well but he is going about it the wrong way. Tax credits or vouchers will not fix the problems that poor children face in this country much of which has resulted from folks like yourself not wanting to fully embrace integration in public schools because black children just weren’t good enough for your little Johnny to sit next to in class. While I applaud those who will stand up for a good quality public education for all students, I have problems with folks who feel “Black Johnny” can’t learn and “Black Educators” can’t teach. All we need is a level playing field. If you don’t believe me, just check the records of all of the many accomplishments of poor black students who have graduated from “failing” public schools. Enough said!!!

Monopoly?

Private School Vouchers are nothing more than government entitlements to people with means.

Conservatives who support that are the ultimate hypocrites. If you want to send your kid to private school then pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and save the money and work hard. Don’t ask the taxpayer to pay for it.

Because either way the taxpayer will be fitting the bill for public schools, because a basic level of education, or an attempt at it at least, is something that a developed country absolutely requires.

But, the private school voucher people always point to Allendale and then show you Porter Gaud, like the poor kids in Allendale are going to benefit from it. But they aren’t. Because all these nice private schools were created to get “nice” kids away from “problem” kids.

It is a cop out and an attempt to encourage flight.

People are always saying the Confederate flag is “holding this state back” ; the flag does what flags do. It hangs around and blows in the wind.
It is not holding anyone back or holding anything back from anyone.
What has and does “hold this state back” is exactly what you are talking about.
It is clearly obvious the NAACP does not want equality.. Because with equality comes responsibility. And by allowing blacks to take responsibility the organization would become irrelevant, the money would dry up and the NAACP would cease to exist. Which means people like Darby would actually have to go to work ! Great article !!!!

Simple Conservative,

I am asking whether private schools actually provide better education than public schools when they have the same calibre of students, same background, economic, and social status. Is there any data that shows which is better under these conditions? SAT and ACT scores? Currently private schools educate only those students whose families can send them there. Public schools are charged with educating everyone, regardless of income, intelligence, behavior, etc. Head to head, apples to apples, how do the test scores compare?

The NAACP needs to be more concerned with kids staying in school, helping single parents, keeping kids off of crack, keeping them occupied with after school programs so they’ll stay out of the gang scene etc. etc…..That should be their main focus if they’re that concerned.

i think collectively as a state, we suck at education….

Anna,

I completely think I understand… Having said that these folks advocating no change are keeping our children grounded and without hope. They care for the most part and on both sides of the isle to maintain the status quo and why?

Our collective children are our future and what are we doing about it… nothing, and unfortunately to the extent it breaks my heart. Until our politicians and voters recognize this is the number one issue if not in top three we are in trouble and deep trouble…

Most Respectfully, Jeffrey Sewell – SCHotline.com

Statesman,
About 50% of 9th graders drop out before graduating. Test scores aren’t the only measurement. If any business had a continual productivity rate of 50%, it would go bankrupt. In this case, though, the stockholders (taxpayers) can’t opt out of contributing to the failing business!

Here’s an easy solution: pull all government funding of schools – period. Parents who desire to have their children educated will find a way to make it happen. I bet good old-fashioned community schools of neighborhood children would produce results beyond our wildest imaginations.

The only way to remove politics from schools is to remove government money from them – bottom line. You can’t get it any other way.
