The Wonderful Moments with So Much Work Ahead

It is Sunday night and I have spent the better part of the day, praying for President Obama, rejoicing in the fact that the world is so proud that America may be living up to its promise of equality for all. Now just to be cattish for a moment, and a portent of things to come, did you see President Obama and Vice President Biden put a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier? President Obama performed another first. He didn't wait until Memorial or Veterans Day, he did it in honor of the soldiers everywhere at a time when the world was watching! Good for President Obama! Then did you see President Obama and his knowledge of protocol and the lack of knowledge of protocol on the part of Vice President Biden? The world may begin to learn a lot of manners and protocol and even English with President Barack Hussein Obama. Thank you President Obama, you will make my great-grandchildren proud!
Back to American living up to its promise. Don't believe for a minute that President Obama can do this without the folks who ask whome? He can't see the devastation that is happening in Chicago schools, even though he has Arne, who couldn't see it either. He can't see students dropping out of colleges and universities not because they don't have enough financial aid, but simply because, STILL, you get a C for being colored. He can't see up close that NCLB can't work because standardized testing doesn't work. Standardized test scores follow color, so the more c0lor of the takers, the lower the scores. President Obama should not have to see these things because you, whome, yes you, see them and do nothing. Let's make this Tuesday a truly historic occasion. Lend your voice somewhere to say Education Now or not at all. Either it works for everybody or we shut it down. Can we count on you, whome, to do something?
