Nikita Bush's career as a public school teacher came to an end when she faced the decision of how to educate her own children. Having been told for years that American public schools would eventually get better for black children, the number of African-American homeschooling parents like Ms. Bush has doubled in little over a decade.
As Patrick Jonsson of the Christian Science monitor reports, studies show all kinds of public school problems disproportionately affect black children, and many parents have decided to take matters into their own hands. Even single parents are forming co-ops to make it possible to educate their children together outside of the public school system.
What do you do when you feel the system is failing your child and their education?

> Welfare doesn't want to provide food and benefits to working age males who don't hold a job. They are prejudiced, in that respect.
They don't want to do that for working age females either.
Seriously, there is literally no difference in the amount of welfare available to a custodial parent based on their gender.
Where is the prejudice in that?

Mothers almost invariably become the custodial parent. It just works that way. The courts will block a father from seeing his kids based on unsubstantiated rumors, but the mother has to be demonstrably crazy or dangerously violent before she is stripped of parental rights.

That may be true.
Yet it says absolutely nothing about welfare policies which are constrained by Title IX to be completely gender neutral.

And even if she is crazy or violent it's still an uphill battle for the man to get custody.
