Tonight (July 14) Obama will hold a town hall <http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/17026488/president-obama-hold-race-relations-town-hall-espn-abc-thursday> on the topic of race relations, justice, policing and equality. Let’s see if he is truly interested in improving race relations, justice, policing and equality or if he is interested in doubling-down on the status quo. ----
Obama is a democrat, and democrats have opposed giving the poor and minorities in America the choice to send their children to a decent school (instead of the violent, failing one they are forced to attend by the government). It's despicable that democrats continue supporting the self-serving teachers' unions in this country when the evidence of the damage they've done for decades is so apparent. I live in a conservative state where poor and working class kids living in horrible public school districts can obtain a voucher and attend the private school of their choice. The program grows every year and currently has over 32K kids taking advantage of this opportunity. I expect doing so will pay off nicely within a few years.
