"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"

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.
