The first stage of this plan for McCain to win the black vote should probably last about 2-4 years in order for inner-city parents to gain confidence in the new competitive system. However, due to the teachers unions’ objection to an individual’s freedom to choose, it may take a few years longer to break the unions’ monopolistic, collusive, suppressive hold they have over lower-income families.
Therefore, the second stage must be to expose the true mission of these corrupt, power-hungry teachers unions. Once constituents can see their children’s fate is being manipulated in order to line the pockets of the union leaders, the parents will lose sympathy for the purpose of the union. Once the union’s “cause” is no longer supported by the community, lazy and inefficient teachers will be the first to feel the crunch. The schools will not allow good teachers to take a hit in the pocketbook because good teachers will bring in the students – and the schools who have an increase in students will receive an increase in the federal funds. Government schools will receive funding based on their enrollment numbers; so if students go to the school next door, so will the money.
Once the unions are broken, and the parents can see firsthand the advantages of the government-run schools competing for their children (and therefore the federal funding), the plan can move on to the last stage of school choice: allowing the private-sector into the mix. Monday I will present the last stage of how Senator McCain can win the black vote.
