Bush doesn't care about black people

Not true Kanye. Bush cares alot about black people. He cares about them so much that he is getting his Education Secretary to set up special classes for them.


“SEPARATE BUT EQUAL” EDUCATION: The Wall Street Journal reports that Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings will ask Congress to waive a federal law that bans educational segregation for homeless children. The Bush administration is arguing, along with states like Utah and Texas, that providing schooling for evacuees – who, in this case, are likened to homeless children — will be disruptive to public school systems, so they want to have sound legal backing for creating separate educational facilities for the 372,000 schoolchildren displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The State of Mississippi is opposed to waiving the Act because they argue the law helps evacuees enroll in schools without red tape. [WSJ, “Schooling Evacuees Provokes Debate,” 9/14/05]


And if you don't think this involves race, You're an idiot.

And I can't verify the source/interpretation of this story because WSJ is behind a pay wall and bugmenot.com doesn't have an active name/pass. If you have a subscription, please search this story then post in comments.

Thanks Mike
