Not exactly a Democrat priority either. The Democrats use shit like this for a marketing campaign, they feed off the ignorance of poor people by creating a front. Democrats have some good ideas, but they need to follow through with them and make them rock solid instead of a wet piece of paper. So many programs that Democrats created started out as something great, but then as low lifes started to abuse the system and take advantage of the program, everything got out of hand and the program turned to shit. Just look at welfare, started out with great intentions, now everyone hates it and the people that really need it can't get it because some other scum is using up the funds.
Nobody wants to touch the inner cities, they all know it's a lost cause. Besides, the inner cities don't have money... why would either political party be fixated on helping them out? Sad but true, that's how the world works.
If you wanted a good school system for the inner city, start up schools for kids as small as possible for most of the year. Feed their mind with positive reinforcement and good education. This would be a great 10yr experiment program, just to see if they find some way to fuck it up.
