Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams: Public school system a bigger threat to blacks than the Klan<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell – – Two Conservative Wise Men<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Thursday on Rush Limbaugh\u2019s radio program, fill-in host Walter E. Williams, a professor at George Mason University, and Hoover Institution scholar in residence Thomas Sowell, author of \u201cIntellectuals and Society: Revised and Expanded Edition<\/a>,\u201d discussed public education and how it impacts the black community.<\/p>\n

Sowell said Americans need to honestly answer some tough questions blacks and the public school system.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s very hard to take sometimes, but it has to be done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWherever blacks or anybody else wants to go in life, they can\u2019t only get there from where they are, which means they have to know where they are \u2014 not where they wish they were or for other people to think they are, but where they are in fact. The truth is absolutely the key to any hope of advancement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams likened that public education system to the Ku Klux Klan.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve said that, Tom, that if I were the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and I wanted to sabotage any opportunity for black academic excellence, I could not think of a better means for doing so than the public education establishment in most of our cities,\u201d Williams said.<\/p>\n

Sowell agreed, adding that at this time their \u201cfriends\u201d can do much more harm than their enemies.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely true,\u201d Sowell said. \u201cI mean, we\u2019ve reached the point where groups like the Ku Klux Klan can\u2019t do very much to stop us. But our friends can do a lot to stop us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sowell was a product of Stuyvesant High School in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, and went on to study at Howard University, Columbia University and the University of Chicago. But he said the public school education he received in the 1940s isn\u2019t available in 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople say \u2018Isn\u2019t it wonderful\u2019 that I went through the Harlem schools and went on to these big universities,\u201d he explained. \u201cWell, the Harlem schools in those days were different than the Harlem schools today. If you wanted an education, you could get it in the middle of Harlem. That is not true today when we have so much utter nonsense taking up time, and we have so many judicial rulings making it impossible to maintain discipline.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
