Musings on the Terms "Woke" and "DEI" as applied to Vice President Kamala Harris

[Old Guy]

There was a very good "This American Life" episode several years ago on the subject of education. It examined what happened when the Normandy school district in Missouri lost it's accreditation through poor performance. This triggered a state law that allowed students in the district to transfer to nearby accredited schools for free. It made a profound difference to the students who were suddenly allowed to attend a white suburban school.

Why isn't every student allowed to attend whatever school they want on the government dime?  It's the only way the death grip of under-achievement in inner city schools can be broken.  Parents and students may very well choose schools that demand performance rather than forgive it.
