Katrina silver lining

Katrina's Silver Lining: The School Choice Revolution in New Orleans

Wonderful story.

All that stands in the way in other inner cities is the self-serving, vicious alliance between administrative bureaucracy and teachers unions.

The resulting sheer, unnecessary waste of generations of minority youth is the greatest scandal in American society, by far. Nothing else comes even remotely close. Nothing that even approximated the endless failure of inner-city school systems would ever be tolerated in any other area of American life.
