Awwww!, ETC, I was going to bed and saw your tread. I thought all children in the U.S. were ensured a good education (no child left behind), but, again, Obama, is singling out blacks; what happened to his half white heritage. This is all sickening and just all about votes. He is not sincere; he justs needs to be pres again to feed his ego, and change us to an irreversible socialist state. And, he didn't care about gay marriage, until he thought it would get him votes, etc. etc. etc. (I love that from "The King and I"). I truly loathe the man; I am already on the list, so I don't care what I say anymore, at this point, short of anything that will get me arrested! Because trust me, I would say it, but then my fam would miss me! And, the sad thing is, the pollyana in me thought when he was elected that he was the one to change our country (didn't vote for him), but I was hopeful. He is not the one. I nominate Zo! Good night!

Mark my words, the Office of Latino Education is next as those are the two ethnic groups that historically end up with lower standardized testing scores. Should be followed by the Office of Special Education but I doubt that he'll go there because the voting block is not as huge.

Silly me! I thought the Department of Education was supposed to cover this stuff. But then, that's only a Cabinet position...

Obviously he needs more campaign donations from the targeted group and those businesses who hope to cash in on this (like the testing and curriculum writing companies). look for Gates & Broad to get in on this one, too.

Maybe he'll sign an Executive Order that mandates fathers support their children?

Naw, he didn't have that advantage, neither should any other.....

He wants all kids be raised by their grandparents. (even if they are white and prejudiced).

It's amazing how 90% of the political threads on here are regurgitation of Fox News. Hilarious how people are so naive.

Discounting those posted by the resident liberals, of course:) Nono alone dwarfs anyone else except ETC in political threads. And I think those two are maybe a tie. Of course, Nono only comes around at election time....

but, if it's on Huffpo......

African-American Education Office: Obama Announces White House Initiative On Educational Excellence


and AP.....

The Associated Press: Obama creating African-American education office



Why would folks be called naive?

Its also amusing the extent to which tiny minds like yours will go to try and divert a topic using the same sad tactics over and over. If you spent even a moment caressing your googler instead of your.....you would find that exact same news presented and discussed on many other sources.
