Well, it looks like former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has decided to give the education establishment a much-needed reality check. In a stunning display of common sense and logic – two qualities sorely lacking in today’s education debates – Rice laid bare the hypocrisy of those who oppose school choice while enjoying the fruits of their own privileged educational options. Buckle up, because this ride through the land of educational inequality is about to get bumpy!
Rice, now the director of Stanford University’s Hoover Institute (because apparently, being Secretary of State wasn’t enough of a challenge), had the audacity to point out what should be obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together: education in America already has a choice system. Gasp! The horror!
But wait, there’s more! Rice went on to explain that this “choice” system is really just a thinly veiled way for the wealthy to ensure their kids get the best education possible, while poor and minority children are left to languish in failing neighborhood schools. It’s almost as if… now bear with me here… the system is rigged against those who need quality education the most!
Rice didn’t stop there, oh no. She had the gall to question how anyone could claim to support civil rights while condemning poor children to a life of illiteracy. I mean, really, how dare she bring logic and compassion into this debate?
But the coup de grâce came when Rice called out the hypocrisy of those who argue against school choice while sending their own precious darlings to elite private schools like Sidwell Friends. It’s almost as if… they don’t actually believe in the system they’re forcing on everyone else!
So, dear readers, as you ponder the state of education in America, remember Condoleezza Rice’s words. And the next time you hear someone arguing against school choice, ask them which elite private school their kids attend. The answer might just be… educational.
