Msgr. Wells, former chairman of the department of pharmacology at Texas Southern University, asked, "Are public schools becoming the training ground for private penitentiaries?"Questioning whether political agendas will meet children's educational needs, he continued, "An ominous cloud looms over our children's educational future. It gives me pause to wonder when we hear the president is telling us, 'No child left behind,' he, in fact, means 'Yo' child can kiss my behind.'"
The monsignor has doubts about the idea of government running schools at all, which he somehow uses to characterize an effort by President Bush to improve public schools as an insult to minorities. I suppose it was no surprise to those who attended and those who didn't that the event would have an element of party rally.
Another great example of the magnitude of the problem Bp Dolan inherited: staff who invite rummies like this one...
