Private Schooling Provides Hope : D.C. Parent Explains(Video)

- sigh - Remember in 2009, one of the very first thing Barack did was shut down the charter schools in Washington D.C. I mean, he did this in the first week of his new administration. Why would he kill something so beneficial to so many poor families?

Oh wait, could it be that he was giving pay-back to the teachers unions for their support in his campaign for president? Oh, and maybe he believed that it was important to keep as many poor people 'poor' so they wouldn't have any other choice, options in life, other then to vote for more support, welfare from the government.

And that the local government in D.C. is always run by progressive liberals, it make sense they would want so many of the poor, and therefore disadvantaged people, to stay that way to secure office holders know that they will always be in office leaching tax dollars and contributing to their betters in the democrat collective(Party) and their campaign coffers.

One case in point about making sure the poor remain where they are - Walmart want to build a Super Store in the area but the city council killed it. Question - why would they do that when the store would provide jobs and a great source of products at a good price in the poorest neighborhood????

Wonder no longer why the population of poor people in this area only gets larger and never smaller.
What a great way to make sure the voter base will always be there to do the bidding of the progressive socialist liberal democrats.

Why would the voter continue to vote for more suffering and abuse? Just because these people are poor doesn't mean they are stupid, and yet they always vote democrat.

They Grew Up in a Poor Neighborhood. How School Choice Changed These Brothers’ Lives.

Carlos and Calvin Battle grew up in the poorest neighborhood of Washington, D.C., where nearly two-thirds of children are living in poverty. In 2016, only 42 percent of students attending the local public high school graduated.

In an attempt to get her sons a better education, their mother, Pam Battle, enrolled Calvin and Carlos in the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program. The program provides low-income families vouchers to send their children to private schools, and has shown a promising ability to increase graduation rates. However, many—including teachers unions, the Obama administration, and the education establishment—have worked to shut down the program.

Watch the video to see how the program influenced the Battle family, and to hear why Calvin and Carlos think programs like it could help others succeed not just in school, but in life.
