Of course, while Sanford should not have appeared before this largely despotic group of racists anywhere, he should not give them the benefit of one moment of his thought until they end their disgraceful and babyish “Economic Boycott” of the Governor’s state.

What came out though is the fear: fear and anger that Sanford has the nerve to propose higher standards in education.  Government education is a failure.  If it was worth anything, its proponents would not be concerned about competition.  Problem is, giving parents a choice in education will doom the unionized Democrat Socialist stranglehold that forces filthy, immoral, communist, politically correct indoctrination upon every child in the state.

“It still doesn’t fix the issue,” Shelton said. “Choice takes money out of the system; out of the public education system and gives it to a small set of young people and allows them to go to a private school. Which is fine. The challenge for a lot of us is taking money out of an already strapped public school system and giving it to a private school.”

The more strapped the Government School System in South Carolina becomes, the more it must make available school choice in the form of tax credits, rebates, or vouchers.  South Carolina taxpayers are paying approximately $13,000 for each student’s inadequate education every year.  This enormous sum overshadows the most of the state’s most elite private and prestiegious schools.  In other words, the NAACP favors forced inadequate education for no other reason than political points. Every child in the state could attend a high quality private school for less than what the state is now paying.  This saves the state money, while improving the lives of its young citizens.  Most parents who cannot afford private school would welcome the Governor’s plan, taking the opportunity to help their children have a brighter future.

It’s time to stop the fear-mongering and let market forces decide the fate of government education and the welfare of our youth!
