Is there a place for conservative involvement then when it comes to inner city schools? Of course there is if more of us teach or work as administers there. Do you think it's a place conservatives should put political stock into, though? Sinz, you’re definitely correct here.

In this country, public school is paid for by the local school district, through local property taxes. That setup means that folks in one school district focus only on their own property tax bills, and they can ignore what's happening in other school districts. That's not how we pay for highways, or airports. We really need to change how we pay for public school education.

And this goes on every single day in schools in cities across the country. Schools 15-20 minutes away in the county are among the best in the country. People out there, whether educated or uneducated, black or white, could go their entire lives as Americans and not consider this their problem. I wonder where you think the Republican or conservative message fits in. Regards. Thanks for the post, pro patria. And this goes on

I think one of the real problems is that a lot of suburban Americans consider the inner cities a whole different coutry or even a separate world. How do you make someone feel embarrassed about a place/problem they don't even consider themselves related to? I liked the last sentence in that email reply too, especially the “our country” part.
