The real reason why liberals hate vouchers is that black kids will then be able to go to school with the liberals kids.

IMHO

Actually the black community rejects vouchers based on the idea that anything that is not perceived as strengthening the 'community' is seen as weakening it.

Vouchers would take black children out of the black community and integrate them into successful mainstream America. They see there strength in numbers, their communal bond to each other, brothers and sisters all.

If one was to go off and find success on their own, well... that just one less voice in the chorus, one less vote at the ballot box. They enslave themselves to a degree with this obsolete survival skill.

This same community/cultural defence mechanism is what drives the black community to demagog and label all successful blacks as "Uncle Tom's". Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, Jesse Lee Peterson, the list is endless. Liberals on the otherhand, whether Charlatan or Dupe just go along with whatever the black community espouses right or wrong to get votes or suppress some coerced guilt complex respectively.

All in all, Liberals could care less about improving anything.

Actually, black Americans overwhelmingly support vouchers. This can be seen in Milwaukee, Cleveland, and in Washington, D.C. It is the so-called "black leadership" that is opposed to vouchers, because they kowtow to the teachers' unions and Democrat big city political machines.

I don't believe it.....maybe the leaders.....The users of vouchers love them.

Polls in communities where they've been tried love them.
