If his record is any indicator, he would fund the same afrocentric, racist policies that failed in Chicago. From the NY Post:
So, what was Barack Obama up to when he ran former Weather Underground bomber Bill Ayers' "education reform" foundation?
Not much good - at least according to the guy in charge of Chicago's public schools while he was there.
"There was a total lack of accountability" at Obama and Ayers' Chicago Annenberg Challenge, former city school superintendent Paul Vallas has told The Post. Indeed, "If you went back and asked, you'd be hard-pressed to find out how the money was spent."
Well, maybe.
As it turns out, the Obama-helmed CAC was directing big bucks toward the propagation - in Chicago public schools - of the whack-job racist ideology most famously preached by Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
I'm almost thinking that instead of simply being accused of playing the race card, conservatives should actually play it. Used honestly, it is easily one of the best cards we hold. Hell, Obama does have a history of associating with racists who hate white people. To quote the sage words of wisdom from the girls of TLC, that's actual and it's factual.
For example, the Obama-led foundation funneled more than $200,000 to an outfit called the Coalition for Improved Education in South Shore.
Its mission: training public-school teachers in "Afrocentric" education, a pseudo-scientific movement that (as a trainer brought in with CAC funds put it) rejects Western civilization, and America in particular, as "white supremacist" and seeks to "recover our disrupted ancestral culture."
Reading, writing and 'rithmetic this isn't. All of which gives the lie to Obama's breezy assertion in last week's debate that his CAC activities were somehow bipartisan or mainstream.
It also certainly explains why schools chosen for the foundation's largesse showed no gains in student performance.
...faced with Rev. Wright's equally anti-American sermons, he made the plausible case that while his devotion to his pastor was based on 20 years of community involvement, he rejected Wright's extreme views.
But how can anyone now take that assertion seriously, given that he spent years funding the teaching of those ideas?
The fact that Obama has been given a complete pass on his serious lack of accomplishments and dangerously un-American goals, when fighting to reform education in Chicago, boggles my mind. And my mind isn't easily boggled. I didn't even go to school in Chicago.
