Karl Rove And Newt Gingrich Are Attacking Everyone Who Wants A Level Playing Field
In 1997 at Westhill High School, only 2 percent of students were from low-income families, and 94 percent were white; compared with 55 percent low-income and over 50 percent minority at Fowler.
In 1996, 71 percent of Westhill's graduates received Regents diplomas, one of the highest rates in the state; compared with 7 percent at Fowler, one of the lowest in the state. And contrary to Mr. Gingrich's "facts": four of the Fowler students held down jobs after school; while none of the Westhill students interviewed did.
While correlation between poverty and low achievement is nothing new, in order to address the widening gap between the wealthiest and poorest Americans and revitalize the American Dream policy makers need to understand the cyclical nature of poverty, the challenges facing our poorest students and acknowledge the struggles of our working poor.
At a time when more Americans are unemployed and underemployed; free school lunch lines are increasing and the number of Americans hurting are soaring; the elitist premise of Mr. Gingrich’s sentiment hits home for me on a very personal level. Central New Yorkers on either side of the aisle may disagree on how to address the issue of reducing poverty, improving the economy and creating jobs; nonetheless many of us see the struggle facing the working poor: parents faced with a choice between working late for overtime or helping their children with homework; juggling debt, choosing between groceries and heat; and barely making it paycheck to paycheck. Our working poor, and most vulnerable members of society, our poorest children, cannot remain invisible to the Washington elite.
Education, not manual labor, is the only way to break the cycle of poverty.
