The usual "white people don't want public schools to be properly funded while their kids attend private schools" nonsense.

+1. Preach.This country never intended for Black folk to be educated. Staunch go to church every Sunday, communion taking, hymn singing 'Christians'.
This is why it is so important to cleanup Black churches, but that's a topic for another discussion.
Give me a synopsis, please. but based on what you wrote, action indicate that is true. Education of a non-white populace is not a priority in America. Charter schools getting federal funds....when things get tight, the first thing MS cuts is education. They did not pass the bill to fully fund education as promised and made another 5% cut to university funding recently...where is the lie?
People come in to my office complaining all the time about their property taxes stating that they should not have to pay taxes for the school board when they have no kids in school. They are all white and well off.

Do they bitch about all that other stuff that they don't use yet pay taxes on? Like those parks in other parts of town? Or animal control? If not tell them to STFU.
If they don't want to pay those taxes-MOVE out of the house and get an apartment or condo.

That is why many Black churches are either baptist or Non-Denominational. Catholics, Methodists, A.M.E, etc are not independent so the problem you mentioned is not as prevalent. I feel your pain Founder....went through the same thing. I am no Bill Gates but I know you cannot spend more than you take in or there being issues. And then when there are issues they want the trustees to bail them out. I am NOT a fireman.It is a batlle. For example many black churches have pastors who have no idea of how to run a church from secular perspective. The black pastor wants total autonomy to do what they want when they want and how they want. This is biggest problem with the Black church. We are facing that problem in my church. We have a pastor who is great toward the members needs spiritually. I mean on spot on point. Yet, his business savvy is totally fucked up. So as a member of the trustee board it is difficult to get him to understand the business side of the church. So he then rallies older members that like him to aide in his decision making because he feels that they will make the board knuckle under. what is happening is that younger people are leaving.
The life line of the church lies in the future.
Exactly, you don't want to fund the education of the children, then don't complain when those same children are breaking into your house and stealing your car because of lack of educational opportunities.you can pay for schools or you can pay for jails. If you don't do the first you do the second.
Thanks to our Republican legislators and former Governor Jindal, our state education system has been over-run by charter schools. It's like sharks smelling blood (money). The Baton Rouge area has 28 charter schools with more still planning to open in the future. BR is not that huge to adequately support that many charter schools without damaging the public schools, mainly those in the inner city.WHERE do you think all charters schools are at??? Whites don't want them in their communities. Because of what they don't do in many cases. They don't have to educate SPED kids and can FORCE a parent to be active.
Why would you fund education of nonwhites when so many nonwhites don't care about education? It's 2 way street. Because if folks cared about the education of black children-they understand it goes BEYOND that classroom.

What?Y'all do know this is why they buy all those guns don't you? They know the cause, effect and the affects of what they vote against...........
The jails are privatized, it's a money maker, so of course they will pay for jailsyou can pay for schools or you can pay for jails. If you don't do the first you do the second.
