"In Newark, [where we have] a billion-dollar school system...we are spending $25,000 per kid...that's elite private school tuition to get 40 percent of our kids who can't pass our high school exit exam, which you can pass with a 50," he points out. Bradford says that type of system is typical of the bloated monopoly the government has on schools -- and until that monopoly can be broken, he argues, true education reform will not be achieved.<IMG hspace="3" height="125" border="1" align="right" width="76" vspace="3" src="http://www.onenewsnow.com/uploadedImages/Media/Images/Mugs/Derrell Bradford.jpg" alt="Derrell Bradford (Excellent Education for Everyone)" title="Derrell Bradford (Excellent Education for Everyone)" /></DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Education/Default.aspx?id=687562"><DIV>
Bradford also has harsh words concerning the ordeal involving the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program. He says Senator Dick Durban (D-Illinois) has essentially crafted legislation that guarantees the program will disappear. The education advocate contends the Illinois lawmaker is guilty of one of the greatest crimes against poor minorities in DC.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/36FD0F1D-3C06-4C99-BCBC-797A5EA489CD/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
