Bush Wants to Segregate Survivor Kids

The Wall Street Journal reports that Bush Education Secretary Margaret Spellings will ask Congress to authorize separate school facilities for the estimated 350,000 school-age Louisiana survivors.

Meanwhile, the same story reports that school voucher vultures are circling survivor centers in hopes of kidnapping children to their various private, charter, storefront, back-alley faux schools to show how important they are to education. This is a racist outrage, a return to pre-Brown v. Board of Education.

Bush, Spellings, Hutchison, and Texas Education Commissioner Shirley Neeley (who advocates this segregation), Sen. Orin Hatch (another segretation advocate) should drop this hellish, insane, inhuman, racist scheme. Private education providers and their voucher-hungry vultures should be told to go to hell.

Haven’t these kids suffered enough?

These hurricane blaxploitation policies are just unbelievable. These Repugs are just foul, and they're not even trying to mask their intentions anymore. They want retro America, circa 1950.

Vouchers should be banned. That is the biggest waste of money possible.

I had a misunderstanding over the "private schooling" of the survivors. After getting the full story, this is sickening and unnecessary.

Private schools don't have behavior problem children.
