In “How Parents Helped Transform a Los Angeles School” (op-ed, Oct. 14), former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, to his credit, mentions a number of politically unmentionable problems with today’s public schools. But his solution—“elect more leaders who pledge to always put the interests of kids first”—is comical. We’ve already sacrificed enough generations of kids, particularly minority kids, and there’s no sign of reform except the usual litany of cynical promises from the vested interests in the $700 billion government-sponsored monopoly on public education.
