DeVos on Historically Black Colleges and University's: "...real pioneers when it comes to choice."

Education Sec. Betsy DeVos, who never went to a public school, proved how bad that choice was with this bumbling voucher choice sales pitch using historically black colleges and university's:
DeVos linked black colleges to the issue of school choice -- a cause for which she is an advocate.
"HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice. They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality. Their success has shown that more options help students flourish."
That resulted in a few incredibly controlled responses:
Slate ran a column last night with the headline: "Insane Betsy DeVos Press Release Celebrates Jim Crow Education System as Pioneer of 'School Choice.'"

Media Tracker Embarrasses itself with Clueless Attack on DPW's Graeme Zielinski

Thank you Media Trackers, for another jaw dropping post. In their quest to twist reality around just enough to fit down their Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole, they sometimes miss badly. Here’s a screen capture of their latest mind numbing folly:







































Collin Roth sums up his partisan attack this way, missing his own acknowledgement that Democrats are "pro-choice," meaning we offer...choice:
So just to be clear, Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesman Graeme Zielinski claims that he “hates abortion,” despite being the spokesman for a party that represents nearly every pro-choice politician in America and receives millions of dollars in support from Planned Parenthood and EMILY’s List. But the very next day, Zielinski is claiming that Rep. Paul Ryan is a “cafeteria Catholic” whom “practicing Catholics should be angry with” for “wrapping himself in a faith he controverts with his public life.” Perhaps this all makes sense to Zielinski. But he might be the only person.
My own concept of when life begins is at viability. But God is even clearer in Genesis:
Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. 
Any questions? Here's my response in their comments section:
Boy, you guys just don't get it. Democrats have been saying over and over the word and concept of "choice."

Is Media Trackers so desperate for "gotchas" that you chanced running this story hoping no one would notice? Looks like (another comment) Edward Perkins bought into hook, line and sinker.

Zielinski is like many Democrats, he believes in choice, not the normal hard line offered by Republicans. He's pointing out the hypocrisy of conservatives edicts. We aren't hard line Catholics, or zealot fundamentalists. Graeme can believe what he likes. Apparently conservatives can't. The churches position on contraception and abortion isn't referenced in the bible. That's why the right wing is so adamant about establishing when life begins, it’s a control/power thing. The authoritarian Catholic Church traditions were developed to control the flock. There's a reason Martin Luther split from the church.

The phony outrage or utter cluelessness of your story here should be an embarrassment. Thanks for the material.

"Black Children are in Danger" Billboards Race Baiting Campaign by Pro-Life Wisconsin.



You would think that "choice" would mean just that, the choice of women to continue a pregnancy or not. Any disparities in the number of black and white abortions is based on choice, and not on any policy Planned Parenthood has in place. But you would never see that same common sense and logic applied to policies coming from of Pro-Life Wisconsin, as their billboard campaign reveals.

CapitalTimes: Pro-Life Wisconsin has teamed up with a national anti-abortion campaign to place 13 billboards in the city of Milwaukee blaming the high numbers of African American abortions in our state on what the groups claim is "Planned Parenthood's history of racism and the continuing eugenics movement in Wisconsin."

"Wisconsin is the eighth lowest state nationally in the number of abortions, but the racial disparity in its numbers far exceeds the national trends," said the communications director of Pro-Life Wisconsin. There are two different billboards.

The first billboard states "Black Children are in Danger: Too Many Aborted," in enormous letters on a black field; the second states "Black and Beautiful: Too Many Aborted."

These are sick crazy people on the fringe of society.
