What makes him an expert? But the larger point is this: Back during the Clinton years, Democrats complained about the &#8220;digital divide.&#8221; They claimed the poor had no access to the Information Superhighway, unlike the rich. So Democrats pushed to expand Internet service to schools. They tacked a tax onto everyone\u2019s phone bills.<\/p>\n<p>So here we are, decades later and seven of our largest school systems are promising to start &#8212; I repeat, to <emphasize>start<\/emphasize> \u00c2\u2013 teaching their students about computer sciences.<\/p>\n<p>We spend billions upon billions of dollars on education. Michelle Obama has spent untold dollars attempting to reeducate kids on the way they eat, and they throw away the food.<\/p>\n<p>And for all the Democrat talk about &#8220;digital divides,&#8221; schools in big cities &#8212; overwhelmingly run by Democrats &#8212; are still apparently in the digital dark ages. And, bet on it: Ten years from now, nothing much will have changed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The White House this week announced a new, innovative plan.
