School choice - change the Democrats need to learn

Crazy question right – even suggesting that a Democrat will stop buying votes of the teachers at the expense of American children, particularly urban and poor kids?

Or you could turn it around.  When will the voters who are the parents and guardians of urban and poor kids stop selling their votes to Democrats for peanuts and promises while their kids flounder in crap schools and the fancy pants Democrat politicians they elect send their kids to good schools?
Well get yourself informed about these two outfits:
http://www.federationforchildren.org/    American Federation for Children
http://allianceforschoolchoice.org/   Alliance for School Choice
They support the novel idea that kids getting good educations is vastly more important that teachers getting union contracts with all sorts of teacher benefits and protections.  No, Virginia, teachers unions don’t exist to improve kids educations.
There is one organized group in America that places the children of their voters in poor learning environments and refuses – completely and totally refuses to let parents decide where their kids can go to school with the public monies provided by the parents and their neighbors.  It is the Democrat Party and here is their leader, who sends his kids to private schools:

Well Mom and Dad – did you get the school “change” you need? 
The Democrat party is a gathering of unprincipled politicians, bureaucrats and public employee unionized hacks and thugs who could care less about the plight of urban and poor children.  Why the African American voters, by a nine to one margin, support this group of corrupt, self focused, power hungry idiots is beyond this essayist’s comprehension but before you go, do this one thing, “Ask either of these (see below) well-fed (sweating heavily) multimillionaires who has never created one private, wealth creation based job – will you support giving me education choice just as you support giving me health care choice?”

ps:  tell Bubba the intern can wait - our kids need school choice NOW!

I have been advocating this topic for many years. In my discussions with govt. school teachers, principals, and administrators, from good schools and bad schools alike, the one recurring theme I hear is:" But if we give people a choice, all the good students/families will go somewhere else and we'll be left with the dregs; truants, handicapped, malcontents."
Which is exactly the point. No moral parent wants their child educated by a govt. school that is 26th in the Western world in Science, 20th in Math and in the teens in Language skills.
Furthermore many parents recognize that govt. schools started to decline in the '60's when any mention of God was made verboten. Nowadays the liberal theology; that is,homosexual sex is normal, Europeans invaded North America bringing slavery, unmarried sex is fulfilling is what is taught and anybody with at least a speck of common sense or moral turpitude knows in their heart of heart what nonsense this is and would leap at the chance to have their child out of that trap. Amazingly, somehow parents today have their common core values still rooted in Judeo-Christian principles, which the govt. school monopoly diametrically opposes.
