Obama sets up another agency. It will not go into effect until after the election and will do nothing to improve black education . . . . just another campaign ploy.



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.
