Meanwhile, parents, students and teachers all report higher satisfaction with charter schools. People like them. They cost less money. They raise the academic achievement of poor kids. Go ahead, get a little enthused.

Charter schools are public schools that operate, to a certain extent, outside the system. They have more control over their teachers, curriculum and resources. They also have less money than public schools.

Black America knows better than anyone else the high price children pay for the sexual agendas of adults.

Getting married is the boldest and most idealistic thing that most of us will ever do.

The first question for me is: Are same-sex unions ‘marriages’? I’m against discrimination, I’m against hatred, I’m in favor of marriage equality, but I don’t think same-sex marriage is marriage. Therefore I think it is wrong for the government to insist, through the use of law, that we all believe that same-sex unions are marriages.

Whatever their defects, Christian fundamentalists have lived peacefully among us in America for several hundred years.

Democratic forms of government are vulnerable to mass prejudice, the so-called tyranny of the majority.
