WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is creating a new office to bolster education of African-American students.

The White House says the office will coordinate the work of communities and federal agencies to ensure that African-American youngsters are better prepared for high school, college and career.

Obama is announcing his election-year initiative Wednesday night in a speech to the civil rights group the National Urban League as he seeks to rally black voters. Aides say his executive order, to be signed Thursday, will set a goal of producing "a more effective continuum" of programs for African-American students.


YOU MAD???, LOL.

But for real, I agree with Mitt Romney one some thing on about education that the Parents should decided where they send our kids for school, Public or Vocher. But i also believe that the community should have control of the schools when deciding the budget, after school programs ect....

And the Parents should be on their kids ? and be up at the schools to demand more from the teachers.

No more cutting of the after school programs, no more cutting of Music and PE or Sports.
