Really interesting, but sad. I don't know how many of you are aware but blacks take a great deal of flack from their own race if they choose to homeschool their children. They feel that they went through a great deal of suffering to be allowed to educate their children along white folks and that blacks who choose to teach at home are letting all the black people down that fought so hard for those rights.

Some rights.....if any group ought to ditch the system and take charge of their kids' education, it's the black people. The current school system keeps them in the four D's: Dumb, Depressed, Dependent, and Democrat.**

Absolutely, which is why we must have vouchers to reach out to them. For once, young black students will get a decent education that they have deserved for so long!

Isn't it annoying that RICH LIBERALS such as the Kennedys, Gores, and Chelsea Clinton were all educated in private schools?

Concidence? I think not.

.....Dumb, Depressed, Dependent, and Democrat.....

Thousands Protest Clinton at Free Republic March for Justice
31 October, 1998

(CNS) – Returning to the White House today, President Bill Clinton passed a crowd of protestors calling for his impeachment at the "March for Justice" sponsored by internet bulletin board FreeRepublic.com.
The March for Justice featured a line-up of conservative figures from Presidential hopeful Alan Keys and Representative Bob Barr (R-GA) to author and former FBI agent Gary Aldrich and literary agent Lucianne Goldberg.
Many among the protesters, estimated to be as many as 5,000, are known as "Freepers" – those who often post their views on Free Republic's web site. The rally evolved from what began as a one-man impeachment march in front of the White House by the Freeper known to fellow posters as "Confetti Man". While protesting against Clinton in Philadelphia in September, he was allegedly assaulted by union members gathered in support of the President.
In the aftermath of the attack, "Confetti Man" decided to conduct a solo protest at the White House. In the following weeks, he was joined by 25 other Freepers. When word spread that Free Republic owner Jim Robinson would join the protest, others began to express interest in protesting, too. Interest in the protest snow-balled into today's rally, drawing people from throughout the country.
Joyce Smith of Hope Ministries came to the March for Justice from Houston Texas. She originally came as a protestor, but ended up addressing the rally after one of the scheduled speakers met her in a hotel lobby and took note of her zeal and charismatic personality. In an impromptu speech to the protesters, Smith said the black community has been misguided by what she calls the "Four-D syndrome – Dumb, Dependent, Depressed and Democrat."
Smith told CNS the black community is not "monolithic" as a race. "We have some common sense blacks," Smith said. "We think for ourselves and we are not going to stand by and let the Sheila Jackson-Lees and the Al Sharptons speak for us." She said she came to the March for Justice to break down the viewpoint that all blacks must stand behind Clinton.

(CNS) – The Conservative News Service Saturday erroneously reported that a Free Republic user with the on-line name of 'Confetti Man' was allegedly assaulted by union members during a Bill Clinton demonstration in Philadelphia in early October.
The man who was hospitalized as a result of the Philadelphia incident was Don Adams, who does not use the name Confetti Man on Free Republic. The inadvertent misidentification was the result of a mistaken identity from an interviewed source, and CNS regrets the error.
