Condi Rice: Defending ‘Status Quo’ In Education System Is Racist

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told FOX News’ Brian Kilmeade during his broadcast Kilmeade & Friends that real racists oppose school choice. Rice was responding to a recent decision in a California court that held teacher tenure violates children’s civil rights,

“Poor black kids trapped in failing neighborhoods schools, that’s the biggest race problem of today,” Rice said in an interview that was aired on the Monday. “That’s the biggest civil rights issue of today. Anybody who isn’t in favor of school choice, anybody who isn’t in favor of educational reform, anybody who defends the status quo in the educational system, that’s racist to me.”

Condi Rice also said in an earlier interview with Kilmeade on Fox & Friends in the morning that racial campaign ads are insulting to her. “Don’t tell me how to be black,” she said.

Rice slammed the Obama administration’s handling of Iraq and America’s lack of strength on the world stage, saying that “nobody listens” when the U.S. isn’t leading.

“What we’re seeing is that when the United States steps back and speaks softly, nobody listens,” she said. “Americans also don’t like the world that they get when the United States is not deeply engaged and deeply involved.”
