The evidence is clear. One Democratic policy feeds another to keep the engine running. Racism at its worst. Of course they have a need for abortion. Welfare communities provide a never ending need for abortion in communities void of any hope to escape poverty. Democrats may have provided welfare checks but their children cannot get an education to escape the system. Its all connected. Crime goes with poverty and inability to get a good education. Which leads to no self respect. No vision for future. No hope for children. No reason to want to raise a child in this hopelessness. Good business for Planned Parenthood and Federal Funding.
An Inconvenient Truth: Education Funding in Black and White
In 2006, a documentary called “An Inconvenient Truth†was released, about the dangers of climate change. It was based on the work of former Vice President Al Gore.
The underlying data showed that – like the proverbial frog in a slowly heating pot that realizes too late it is being boiled to death – our planet is slowly heating. The documentary argues that failure to understand this inconvenient truth, and confront it for what it means, will lead to catastrophe.
Today, with apologies to Al Gore, I want to share another inconvenient truth – that the state of Illinois is engaged in overt racial discrimination against African-American and Latino school children in Chicago. And if it is not understood for what it is, and if not confronted for what it means, it too will prove have catastrophic – for CPS, for Chicago neighborhoods, for Chicago’s economy, and most importantly, for the futures of hundreds of thousands of children.
The facts are not in doubt:
•We have nearly 20 percent of the students in the state.
•We receive only 15 percent of state education funds.
•Our children our 90 percent of color.
•The rest of the state is predominantly white.
•The difference between our enrollment and what the State gives CPS is $500 million each year, and rapidly growing–the difference between a school system under siege and one that can offer fiscal stability and effective classroom resources.
There is no way to sugarcoat this.
As noted by lawyers representing CPS and five parent plaintiffs in the ongoing civil rights lawsuit against Gov. Bruce Rauner and the State: “Although the State has not installed signs on schoolhouse doors that say ‘Whites Only’ and ‘Colored,’ the State has used its checkbook to accomplish exactly that.â€
This institutionalized discrimination is taking place in the home state of Presidents Lincoln and Obama, a state that prides itself on progressive political views.
No one person, no one party, no evil set of characters devised this system. It has evolved through accidents of history and changing demographics, from state fiscal pressures and weak political wills. But hurtful recent actions by the governor have exacerbated the underlying injustice.
One reason there isn’t broader recognition of this blatant unfairness is the way the story has been covered.
We live in an instant media age. And in this era of shrinking news budgets and increasing demand for content, the appetite for conflict is often greater than the commitment to dig deeply into the substance of these issues. Coverage too often becomes a catalogue of “he said, she said†claims and insults, rather than a thoughtful exploration of where the truth actually lies.
But the real story is evident from the State’s own public data and a little third grade math: When all sources of education funding are accounted for – general state aid, block grants, pension subsidies – everything – the State provided a CPS child with 74 cents for every dollar it spent on a child in the predominantly white remainder of Illinois in 2016. Perhaps because it is so simple to verify, the State did not contest these facts in Court.
Within four to five years, this number will be 65 cents on the dollar, and so on and so on, the gap between white Illinois and black and brown Chicago growing exponentially larger, making the great state of Illinois more akin to Jim Crow Mississippi than a modern Land of Lincoln................

I call on President Trump to study failed schools that lead to poverty, and make appropriate policy to put the screws to corrupt government feeding it. The education department must cut funding to governments that feed the welfare state.
Isn't liberalism/Socialism/welfare beautiful?
