BUSH USED HIS weekly radio address to link the federal King holiday to his efforts to improve education, saying the “institutionalized bigotry” that King fought has been vanquished, and it is now time to take on less tangible struggles, such as ensuring equal education. “Our challenge is to make sure that every child has a fair chance to succeed in life,” Bush said. “That is why education is the great civil rights issue of our time. “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would accept no less than an equal concern for every child in America, and neither will my administration,” Bush said.
Much like a preacher in church, Bush takes the words of a great leader and twists them to work towards his own advantage. I suppose if we are going to make sure our children get a proper education (it's really an edited dictation like huny says) we could start with making sure they are taught all of history and not just the parts that make this country look good hm? Maybe we could go into more detail explaining why a person like Dr. King was needed in order to make sure that blacks had basic civil rights and liberties?
As long as they continue to tell only half the story, there still is institutionalized bigotry as far as I am concerned.
