The real story behind Jaime Escalante dovetails this piece by Stossel, one of the MSM's little appreciated treasures. Stand And Deliver Revisited is a must read for anyone concerned about our kids.

You have to understand ther mindset behind the schoool's hostility to Escalante. The schools are profoundly anti-intellectual, but in a paradoxicall way. They do their best to futher the social agenda of our intellectual elites while at the same time refusing to teach bright students intellectual skills. Magnet schools are an exception to all the above, but the great majority of students have no chance to go to a magnet school.
