WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama is creating a new
office to bolster education of African-American students. The White House says the office will
coordinate the work of communities and federal agencies to ensure that
African-American youngsters are better prepared for high school, college and
career. Obama is announcing his
election-year initiative Wednesday night in a speech to the civil rights group
the National Urban League as he seeks to rally black voters. Aides say his
executive order, to be signed Thursday, will set a goal of producing "a
more effective continuum" of programs for African-American students. . . .

Editor’s
notes: it is an election
year and blacks are not signing up for the vote as they did in 2008 and Obama
trashed a successful DC voucher school program for gifted black kids back in early 2010 - one of
his first official functions at education reform. The program was called the D.C.
Opportunity Scholarship Program. An
explanation for this bizarre decision was never given.
