KJ is Mayor!

For those critics who claim I never have anything positive to say, this one is for you. Here's some good news! Kevin Johnson will be the first African-American mayor of Sacramento, California. Mr. Johnson has made a difference, refusing to accept mediocrity in our public schools. He believes in charter schools and as a result has started his own schools. He believes all children can learn no matter what their zip code.
These are happy times! Go KJ!

If some readers here will look around, that's what progressive communities are doing. African-Americans, liberals, conservatives and people with common sense are not accepting the status quo from educrats anymore. It looks like the only people who like things the way they are in public schools are those who are living off the administrative fat and starving the classrooms. Watch our President-elect. I seriously doubt he will make guinea pigs out of his daugthers either. If he and his wife consider DC public schools at all, it will be a charter school. Those are the only ones succeeding on a broad scale in both Chicago and DC. I would like to know why here in Charleston it looks like so many of our African-American, suburban, liberal and conservatives here lack the same common sense. They must be either feeding off the system already or they have no clue what's going on around them. Maybe worse, both.
