I don't think racial quotas and lower standards for minorities are the answer. <br /><br />I think a big part of giving opportunities to those in poverty is school choice. Parents are desperate to get their children out of failing schools and places exist where students can get a decent education and have a chance at a better future. Let's get this done already!Paula Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567777774272590296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733341245051470852.post-32064395284345326622011-04-13T19:00:37.729-04:002011-04-13T19:00:37.729-04:00Thanks for the post! Good perspective.
Your last ...Thanks for the post! Good perspective.<br /><br />Your last comment, however, I just had to say something about. I completely agree that every person on earth is of the same essence biologically and spiritually, and for this very reason I think we have to count people by their skin color. We shouldn't have to, but we do. Minorities (in America) are under and over represented in segments of society that causes them overall harm. This indicates that there is a relationship between a person's skin color and his or her economic and political standing.<br /><br />I think as Christians we need to be especially attentive to counts that control for ethnicity because we are called to end injustice and advocate for the disadvantaged. "I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy."<br /><br />If we want to join God in his work of bringing justice to the poor, then we have to be aware of the social impact of ethnicity.ChrisMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10839905574659540822noreply@blogger.com
