Chicago, IL. ---- “I am outraged by comments made by former Secretary of Education Bill Bennett, who on his radio show, stated that “if every black baby was aborted in this country, the crime rate would go down.” Not only is his bigotry a disgrace, I am appalled that he is using his radio platform to malign African Americans, which an impressionable listener could mistake for truth.” 

 “Mr. Bennett has consistently confessed an unbelievable ignorance since leaving his position as head of our nation’s education department.” 

 “It’s a shame that our one-time chief educator has willingly left himself behind on the critical subject of building race relations in this country. In the interest of the American people, I have introduced House Resolution 473, which calls upon the U.S. House of Representatives to condemn the racist remarks of William Bennett.”
