Charter schools get no support by NAACP. Â Why? Â Because the NAACP supports the teacher unions and cares less about education choices available for young black children. Does that make sense? No.
Black families want Charter SchoolsÂ
Public schools whose teachers are unionized  fail to teach children.  Publicly funded charter schools – with  no unions – succeed in teaching children.
Only 39 percent of students in New York state schools who were tested recently scored at the “proficient” level in math.
 In contrast,  100 percent of the students at the Crown Heights Success Academy scored at that level in math.
Blacks and Hispanics are 90 percent of the students in the Crown Heights Success Academy — a charter school funded by taxpayers.
More than 43,000 families are on waiting lists to get their children into charter schools. Â Â
Teachers unions are opposed to any alternative to public education and contribute to politicians who place obstacles and restrictions on the expansion of charter schools.
The NAACP, at its 2016 national convention in Cincinnati, voted to support “a moratorium on the proliferation of privately managed charter schools.” Â Remember Martin Luther King’s dream?
Martin Luther King’s dream ….
NAACP opposes publicly funded charter schools
It’s easy to understand why the NAACP is against any alternative to public schools. Many of its members work in public education.
However, many of those people do want alternatives for themselves.
In Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, 25 percent of public-school teachers send their children to private schools. In Philadelphia, 44 percent of teachers send their children to private schools. The percentages are similar in several other cities: Cincinnati, 41 percent, Chicago, 39 percent and Rochester, New York, 38 percent.
Hillary charges $2,500 per question from children. Â Children do not vote. How honorable is that?
 Maybe the media should pose as children with a stacks of 27 $100 bills in little their outstretched hands so they, too, can have an audience with the queen.
The New York Times revealed in the 21st paragraph of a Saturday story that it’s now been 23 days since Hillary Clinton last held a press conference.
One group that can do Q and A with Hilary are the children: Â a group of nonvoters gets to quiz her, given they have a wad of cash to hand over:
For a donation of $2,700, the children (under 16) of donors at an event last month at the Sag Harbor, N.Y., estate of the hedge fund magnate Adam Sender could ask Mrs. Clinton a question. A family photo with Mrs. Clinton cost $10,000, according to attendees.
The Times didn’t report what questions the children were allowed to ask, but they were likely more than anything the media’s been allowed to ask lately.
Another question for Hilary
Clinton’s campaign regularly had children ask her questions during the primary.
German voodoo?  Tattoos will  stop sexual assaults by migrants?
German voodoo:  temporary tattoos  on girls at swimming pools to protect against migrants
Among countless issues along the path to hell is that of rising sexual assault done by Muslim barbarians against German women and girls.

But not to worry. Â Germany has devised an answer to nip this escalating problem in the bud: temporary tattoos.

Yes, that’s right.  Temporary tattoos are being placed on the arms of young girls in public swimming pools

The tattoos are to to fend off would-be attackers.
The terrifying tattoo says: “No!† The potentially life-saving message (/s) is bracketed by an image of angel wings.
The genius who came up with the tattoo idea is quick to point out something.  She doesn’t want her tattoo campaign to be associated in any way with migrants.  Why?  Because, you know, there have always been problems with sexual assaults in swimming pools across Germany.  Translation: I love dishonest moral equivalence and please, new citizens, don’t target me.
 Tax USA college kids who have kids, not the poor in other counties.  Â
Large families good? Ask them!Â
Climate philosopher Travis Rieder curently  tours the USA.
 Rieder  tries to persuade university students not to have kids.
Reider and others promote their  ideas for restricting childbirth.  Via taxes.  They want tax penalties against people who decide to have a child.
tax penalty for having a child in rich USA, Â Reider wants
This is whatTravis Rieder tells college kids: Â Should We Be Having Kids In The Age Of Climate Change?
Standing before several dozen students in a college classroom, Travis Rieder tries to convince them not to have children.
Or at least that college students will not have  too many.
He’s at James Madison University in southwest Virginia to talk about a “small-family ethicâ€.
Rieder questions  the assumptions of a society that sees having children as good, throws parties for expecting parents, and in which parents then pressure their kids to “give them grandchildren.â€
Why question such assumptions? The prospect of climate catastrophe …
Rieder and his Georgetown collaborators have a proposal, and the first thing they stress is that it’s not like China’s abusive one-child policy.
These  Georgetown Big Brother  blither types  aim to persuade people to choose fewer children.
What they offer is  a strategy that boils down to carrots for the poor  and sticks for the rich.
sticks for the rich… carrots for the poor  ….. Â
Ethically, Rieder says poor nations get some slack because they’re still developing.  Â
Large families common in some parts of the world
And, poor nations get slack  …
adolescent families cut slack in poor countries
because he says that  their per capita emissions are a sliver of the developed world’s.

Below is an article from the Wall Street Journal focused on the hatred Arabs exhibit towards Jews and how that hatred has resulted in decline in general  in many countries.
________________________________
From the Wall Street Journal, Tuesday, August 16, 2016 written by Bret Stephens:
“An Israeil  heavyweight judoka named Or Sasson defeated an Egyptian opponent named Islam El Shehaby Friday in a first-round match at the Rio Olympics. The Egyptian refused to shake his opponent’s extended hand, earning boos from the crowd. Mr. Sasson went on to win a bronze medal.
If you want the short answer for why the Arab world is sliding into the abyss, look no further than this little incident. It did itself in chiefly through its long-abiding and all-consuming hatred of Israel, and of Jews.
That’s not a point you will find in a long article about the Arab crackup by Scott Andersonin last weekend’s New York Times Magazine, where hatred of Israel is treated like sand in Arabia—a given of the landscape. Nor is it much mentioned in the wide literature about the legacy of colonialism in the Middle East, or the oil curse, governance gap, democracy deficit, youth bulge, sectarian divide, legitimacy crisis and every other explanation for Arab decline.
Yet the fact remains that over the past 70 years the Arab world got rid of its Jews, some 900,000 people, while holding on to its hatred of them. Over time the result proved fatal: a combination of lost human capital, ruinously expensive wars, misdirected ideological obsessions, and an intellectual life perverted by conspiracy theory and the perpetual search for scapegoats. The Arab world’s problems are a problem of the Arab mind, and the name for that problem is anti-Semitism.
As a historical phenomenon, this is not unique. In a 2005 essay in Commentary, historianPaul Johnson noted that wherever anti-Semitism took hold, social and political decline almost inevitably followed.
Spain expelled its Jews with the Alhambra Decree of 1492. The effect, Mr. Johnson noted, “was to deprive Spain (and its colonies) of a class already notable for the astute handling of finance.†In czarist Russia, anti-Semitic laws led to mass Jewish emigration as well as an “immense increase in administrative corruption produced by the system of restrictions.†Germany might well have won the race for an atomic bomb if Hitler hadn’t sent Albert Einstein, Leo Szilard, Enrico Fermi and Edward Teller into exile in the U.S.
These patterns were replicated in the Arab world. Contrary to myth, the cause was not the creation of the state of Israel. There were bloody anti-Jewish pogroms in Palestine in 1929, Iraq in 1941, and Lebanon in 1945. Nor is it accurate to blame Jerusalem for fueling anti-Semitism by refusing to trade land for peace. Among Egyptians, hatred of Israel barely abated after Menachem Begin relinquished the Sinai to Anwar Sadat. Among Palestinians, anti-Semitism became markedly worse during the years of the Oslo peace process.
In his essay, Mr. Johnson called anti-Semitism a “highly infectious†disease capable of becoming “endemic in certain localities and societies,†and “by no means confined to weak, feeble or commonplace intellects.†Anti-Semitism may be irrational, but its potency, he noted, lies in transforming a personal and instinctive irrationalism into a political and systematic one. For the Jew-hater, every crime has the same culprit and every problem has the same solution.
Anti-Semitism makes the world seem easy. In doing so, it condemns the anti-Semite to a permanent darkness.
Today there is no great university in the Arab world, no serious indigenous scientific base, a stunted literary culture. In 2015 the U.S. Patent Office reported 3,804 patents from Israel, as compared with 364 from Saudi Arabia, 56 from the United Arab Emirates, and 30 from Egypt. The mistreatment and expulsion of Jews has served as a template for the persecution and displacement of other religious minorities: Christians, Yazidis, the Baha’i.
Hatred of Israel and Jews has also deprived the Arab world of both the resources and the example of its neighbor. Israel quietly supplies water to Jordan, helping to ease the burden of Syrian refugees, and quietly provides surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to Egypt to fight ISIS in the Sinai. But this is largely unknown among Arabs, for whom the only permissible image of Israel is an Israeli soldier in riot gear, abusing a Palestinian.
Successful nations make a point of trying to learn from their neighbors. The Arab world has been taught over generations only to hate theirs.
This may be starting to change. In the past five years the Arab world has been forced to face up to its own failings in ways it cannot easily blame on Israel. The change can be seen in the budding rapprochement between Jerusalem and Cairo, Riyadh and Abu Dhabi, which might yet yield tactical and strategic advantages on both sides, particularly against common enemies such as ISIS and Iran.
That’s not enough. So long as an Arab athlete can’t pay his Israeli opposite the courtesy of a handshake, the disease of the Arab mind and the misfortunes of its world will continue. For Israel, this is a pity. For the Arabs, it’s a calamity. The hater always suffers more than the object of his hatred.

What are probable causes of autism in babies? Vaccines?
Defer vaccinations for some babies  ages 18 to 24 mo?
What are probable causes of autism in babies? Vaccines? Â Research says mercury in vaccines does not cause autism because there’s no more mercury in the vaccines. That’s the beginning of the story …
But maybe the vaccines themselves overwhelm some babies who genetically are more likely to develop it than others.
What to do? Talk to your MD about a delayed schedule for vaccinations. Â A particularly vulnerable window seems to be the 18 – 24 month period. Why not defer vaccinations if certain conditions exist. Â drcameronjackson@gmail.com
A new study may be the latest nail in the coffin of a theory that draws a link between the mercury-containing vaccine additive thimerosal and autism.
The research is the latest to contradict concerns over childhood vaccinations as a possible cause of autism — concerns that have gained publicity in the past decade as the number of children diagnosed with the disorder climbs steadily in the United States.
Because vaccinations are mandatory for all children at a certain age, some parents and doctors believe that the mercury once found in many childhood vaccines may contribute to the development of autism. However, so far a number of large scientific studies have shown no association between thimerosal and autism.
And the most recent research to nullify this association, published Monday in the journal Archives of General Psychiatry, reveals that the prevalence of autism for children ages 3 to 12 continued to increase in California even after 2001 — when all but trace levels of mercury had been removed from most childhood vaccines.
“If thimerosal exposure is a primary cause of autism, then the prevalence of autism would be predicted to decrease, as young children’s exposure to thimerosal has sharply decreased to its lowest levels in decades,” noted lead study investigator Robert Schechter in the commentary section of the research.
Much Ado About an Additive
Before 2001, thimerosal was used in many childhood vaccines to prevent microbial contamination. However, in July 1999, the U.S. Public Health Service implemented a precautionary measure removing thimerosal — which contains 49.6 percent ethylmercury — from all childhood vaccines.
To determine whether reduced exposure to thimerosal led to a decrease in autism cases, researchers at the California Department of Public Health analyzed data from the California Department of Developmental Services on the prevalence by age and birth cohort of children with autism between 1995 and 2007.
But instead of finding a decrease in autism following the elimination of thimerosal from most vaccines, researchers found that for each quarter from 1995 to the end of 2003, the prevalence of autism in children between the ages of 3 and 5 years increased from 0.6 to 2.9 per 1,000 births.
From 2004 to 2007, when exposure to thimerosal from childhood vaccinations vastly declined, the prevalence of autism in children between the ages of 3 and 5 years increased from 3.0 to 4.1 per 1,000 births.
The findings bolster the position that has been steadfastly held by the Institute of Medicine, and many doctors worldwide, that no link can be established between thimerosal and autism.
Some researchers say that the absence of a link has already been demonstrated in Denmark, where thimerosal was removed from all vaccines in 1992. Despite this move, autism rates in that country continued to rise until 2004.
“Conspiracy theorists will continue to engage this theory on the link between autism and vaccinations, but hopefully, they will take into account that this idea has been refuted on an international scale, not just by the CDC,” said Mark Slifka, associate professor in the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute at Oregon Health Sciences University.
“Studies out of Sweden and Denmark, independent studies on an international basis, have all come to this same conclusion.”
In California there are women who repeatedly have child after child while addicted to drugs. The children are messed up from the start. The money from the state keeps flowing.
What say you how to change the welfare system for the better?
Here’s a sad example of what socialism brings from merry England. Not a merry tale. This is about a young woman with 5 children, 4 different fathers and the free stuff she collects without ever working…
Adventures in welfare; the young and the shameless
Phil Boehmke
Margaret Thatcher said that ‘the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other’s people’s money.’ Runaway social welfare and entitlement programs designed by liberal politicians as means of creating a permanent voter base have brought the nations of the west to the brink of bankruptcy. Most of us have had to tighten our belts, work harder and make due with less, but even in these difficult times there are a lucky few who seem to thrive.
The UK Daily Mail brings us the amazing tale of Kelly Marshall, a 32 year old single mother of five children (by four different fathers) and my nominee for the coveted title of ‘Miss Welfare State.’ Despite the fact that Ms. Marshall has never worked for a living she collects benefits and credits which provide her with the equivalent of a £39,000 salary.
Miss Marshall has no plans to start working. She once went to a job centre, but quickly realized she would be financially much better off if she didn’t work.
‘What’s the point? My Mum worked all her life and she paid taxes so I feel I am getting what I deserve,’ she said. ‘Some people might think I am a scrounger, but I don’t think me or my children should miss out on nice things just because I have never worked.’
Marshall’s children have the best gaming systems (Xbox 360, Wi, Play Station3) and each of the four bedrooms in their detached housing unit is equipped with a flat screen TV. At present the children ‘only have three laptops between them’ and since ‘they don’t like sharing,’ Super Mum will have to buy another laptop. Of course like any good parent Ms. Marshall understands the educational benefits of foreign travel.
‘I always take the kids abroad,’ she said. ‘We have been to Tenerife and Cyprus, and this year we have been to Magaluf twice.’
‘Each holiday costs about £2,000, but it’s good to get away, and the kids and I deserve it.’
Last year the proud Ms. Marshall embarked upon a self-improvement program. She saved for months and used her credit card to come up with £4,500 for breast augmentation.
She explained: ‘I have wanted a boob job since I was a teen. But it wasn’t possible until I had the five children that I could afford it-with all the extra benefits I get. Now I hope to get liposuction, a tummy tuck and regular Botox.’
[…]
‘I know most people will think it is wrong I am spending taxpayers’ money on my looks. But I deserve it because I am a good mum. Having children has taken a toll on my body. All mums should be able to have cosmetic surgery.’
Showing absolutely no sense of shame Ms. Marshall defiantly said ‘I don’t care that it is at the taxpayers’ cost’ adding that ‘it’s my decision what the money is spent on.’ It might be comical if Kelly Marshall were unique, however she is merely one of the growing number of entitlement junkies who have been spawned in the murky waters of the modern welfare state. The children of redistribution are in for a rude awakening, because as Lady Thatcher observed ‘eventually you run out of other people’s money’ and that day is on the horizon.
