What About the (D.C.) Children?
by

So often the Democrats give the impression that they love humanity but hate people, especially the most vulnerable and disadvantaged.  What else could explain the campaign to eliminate the scholarships now provided to allow a few children to escape the horrid D.C. public schools?  President Barack Obama doesn’t send his kids to these schools.  Sen. Ted Kennedy sure never sent his kids to them.  Even some public school teachers don’t send their kids to them.  Obviously, the support of teachers’ unions matters more to most Democrats than the interests of children.

But the children are now speaking out.  Watch this video, in which scholarship kids read letters to President Obama asking him to save their scholarships.  Let’s hope the president who says he is so dedicated to listening actually listens to those who most need real change.
