Chairman Dean's Statement On Brown v. Board of Education Anniversary
Washington, DC - Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement commemorating the 51st anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court decision, Brown v. Board of Education:
"This case should be remembered as a shining moment in the history of our country, a landmark decision that rejected decades of discrimination and unequal access to America's educational system" said DNC Chairman Howard Dean. "But, much of the work remains unfinished. Democrats will continue to fight for equality in our schools. Children across the country, regardless of who they are, where they live or their family's income, have the same right to a quality public education. President Bush prefers only half-measures when it comes to education. Parents want high standards and fair accountability for their children's schools, but they know that neither can be achieved without the proper tools and funding."

How about states ushering in Jim Crow laws by the dozens, now Georgia as usual the first victim, reducing from 17 down to 4 forms of ID required to vote next go round...
clearly Brown V. Board was nice to have but we are looking at a white majority asshole powerbase reversing all civil rights (african american, gay, voting rights, etc.) and you are doing what about it?
Reminding us to be proud of the one remaining civil right they have not taken away (oh yeah, what about the no child left standing, how is that not their way of stealing our schools from us)...
Dean, stop talking Crap and do something real.
we need your leadership right now....
This is not a time for Political "NicePlay" you're in, you are the powerbase, Dean, use it for god's sake..
