Sarasota Herald-Tribune All students deserve top-quality education The June 16 column, “Promising students can become Visible Men,” by Louis Parker, CEO of Visible Men Academy, rightly highlights that education is the key to ending the cycle of poverty. The academy’s curriculum stresses high-level science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics, and a character-based education model that is in direct conflict with equity/liberal education that supports a watered-down curriculum and theory (i.e, all math answers are acceptable, highlighting a curriculum designed to make everyone feel good about themselves). Does anyone really believe the answer to achieving successful careers for minority and other students is inherent in an inferior education?
