"Is President Obama against black kids getting a decent education?"

[WhiskeyGirl]

After the Obama Administration filed suit against the state of Louisiana over a school voucher program allowing low-income kids in low-performing schools to attend other institutions, it appears the Wall Street Journal’s Jason L. Riley can make that assertion.

The Obama Department of Justice claimed letting poor kids take money for their educations elsewhere if their assigned schools get a D or F grade from state raters “frustrates and impedes the desegregation process.” While the injunction against Louisiana was dropped, Riley still suggests: “Forcing poor blacks to attend the state’s worst schools strikes me as something out of the Jim Crow South.”

Ninety percent of the kids getting vouchers in Louisiana are black, and potential school choices often a lot whiter than what they leave. With that in mind, it’s hard to believe vouchers promote segregation.

Why shouldn't every child have a chance at success?  A great education?  Outstanding opportunities?

I recall that the Obama maternal grandmother sent him and his sister to private school. 

Obama had everything - a good education and a family that valued good schools.

Why is he so against school vouchers?  Why doesn't he want every child, regardless of race, economic status, etc., to have the best that is available?
