Few charities have the potential to do as much good for low income minorities as The Center For Education Reform. It is a website where you can find privately funded scholarship programs that take kids trapped in a failing public school and pay for their tuition to go to a private school. You can use this resource yourself, or donate money to the scholarship.
To find a scholarship in your area go here, choose the state you live in, and select “Private Scholarship Groups”. The website can be used for other great resources as well, see here. Link via Russell Roberts at Cafe Hayek.
Update: Children’s Scholarship Fund is also a great resource.
hey wait a second, I thought all conservative minorities were supposed to pull the ladder up behind them?! Now here you go trying to destroy the well crafted stereotype I had built in my head with these scholarship links… damn you HP!!!
I’ve been in online discussion forums for more than ten years now and one thing I learned over the years is that if you cannot explain your adversaries point of view in such a way that you can understand why someone would hold such a view (though one you still disagree with), then you probably don’t really understand it at all.
So caricatures like, “Democrats are just a bunch of communists/socialists”, or “Republicans only care for the rich/white”, are just ways for us to be mentally lazy. They tell us nothing about the reality of the situation. Same with caricatures of minority conservatives or liberals.
yeah but it saves so much time! j/k
