"I think the Republicans are subverted by the fact that so many of their leaders send their kids to private schools, they don't really have the stomach for the fight"
- Peter Brimelow
About this Quote
This quote by Peter Brimelow recommends that Republican leaders are not happy to defend public education reform since they send their own kids to private schools. This suggests that they are not bought the general public school system and are not happy to put in the effort to make it much better. This could be due to the fact that they are not personally affected by the concerns in public schools, or since they are more concerned with their own children's education than the education of the public. This might be viewed as a type of hypocrisy, as Republican leaders are not happy to fight for the same education they are rejecting to the general public. This might be seen as an indication of a lack of commitment to the reason for public education reform.
"Did you know that nearly one in three children live apart from their biological dads? Those kids are two to three times more likely to grow up in poverty, to suffer in school, and to have health and behavioral problems"
"As we read the school reports on our children, we realize a sense of relief that can rise to delight that thank Heaven nobody is reporting in this fashion on us"
