Ha! The Manhattan Institute, backers of charter schools and "school choice" - on the theory that competing for funding makes schools more responsive to what parents want for their children - doesn't believe that direct funding makes schools responsive to what parents want. > They believe, as Martin Luther King, Jr., said, that people should be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. (eye roll). Ever notice how that's the one MLK Jr's quote people use to argue against any critical view on America's long history as a white supremacist nation? And not, say, "giving a man his due may often mean giving him special treatment", as King wrote in "Where Do We Go From Here" - https://www.google.com/books/edition/Where_Do_We_Go_from_Here/ka4TcURYXy4C?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22troublesome%20concept%22 https://www.google.com/books/edition/Where_Do_We_Go_from_Her... . ("I am aware of the fact that this has been a troublesome concept for many liberals, since it conflicts with their traditional ideal of equal opportunity and equal treatment of people according to their individual merits.") Kendi refers to this as "The Second Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr." - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-second-assassination-of-martin-luther-king-jr/ar-AAPvDt9 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-second-assassination-o... . > or who stumbles conjugating verbs because a classmate prefers to use the pronouns they/them. w00t! Another eye roll!
