CONDY RICE ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS

http://www.cfr.org/united-states/us-education-reform-national-security/p27618

Among other gems:

"Human capital will determine power in the current century, and the failure to produce that capital will undermine America's security," the report states. "Large, undereducated swaths of the population damage the ability of the United States to physically defend itself, protect its secure information, conduct diplomacy, and grow its economy."
Now poor folks who have been shortchanged on the right to schooling become a national security threat.  Another front in the war on the poor?
