“Standing in the schoolhouse doorâ€
Elsewhere:
Somebody could do an editorial cartoon Dept
Mark Tapscott:When I was a teenager, the image of George Wallace standing in the school house door at the University of Alabama was burned into my mind.Or maybe standing in the door of the charter schools, keeping the kids out. With the the NAACP, the National Urban League, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the National Council for Educating Black Children, the National Action Network, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and the Schott Foundation for Public Education standing right there with them.
I only see one difference between Wallace and [today’s] teachers unions: The former Alabama governor was blocking black kids from getting into schools that could liberate them. The teachers unions are blocking black kids from getting out of schools that too often trap them in lives of failure, desperation, and outrage.

Ruth Marcus: Civil rights groups are picking the wrong fight with President Obama
...To the extent that the teachers unions are blocking an agenda designed to help the poorest students in the worst-performing schools, and that civil rights groups have aligned themselves with the unions' concerns, these groups are making a terrible mistake.The Wall Street Journal notes a prominent exception: “Morally Inexcusableâ€
“We want the best for our kids, even if it doesn’t follow the liberal status quo.†- Al Sharpton(!)

Enough is enough
L.A. Times Writer: Let’s Have Another National Conversation on Race
No, let’s not. Having grown up in the South I’ve been subjected to all too many “conversations on raceâ€. Of course it’s never a conversation at all - it’s merely a public opportunity for whites to admit their racial wrongdoings and receive the conditional forgiveness of any black people present while the organizers preen.
If I never go through another one until the day I’m finally killed by the homeless, it'll be too soon. - “Matenlochâ€
