So Detroit’s public schools are just about as effective as their football team.

They spend about $7,500 per student. And people are willing to trust liberals to run their health care?

This is their mentality, and their value system in action:

The problem with detroit schools is that no mussie teachings are done there. They must bring in sand law.

Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society” probably exists in its most advanced form in Motown.

It only took two generations to achieve complete destruction of the black family structure and create an amoral society of parasites and criminals.

Sadly, no anthropologists seem interesting in studying this devolution.

A small Detroit child, abused by his parents arrived in court, the judge said “I will give you to your uncle” the child cried - but he beats me sir.

The judge, an honest fellow said “ok”, I will give you to your second aunt on your mothers side - again, the child cried, “her husband beats me sir”.

The judge, then closed the court and went to his chambers. After 2 hours he came back and said:

I am giving you to the Detroit Lions. They, cannot beat anyone.

They’ve got a decent mayor at this point but he’s got a serious uphill fight and he’s surrounded by enemies.

So what? All you need to know to make a living in Detroit these days is how to stand in a line and collect a check.

Lyndon Johnson did incalculable damage to the United States, on so many levels. Jimmy Carter was inept and incompetent; LBJ was just plain evil.

Don’t make fun of Detroit. It’s in a hard way. It used to be so very grand.

““You can’t have results like this unless a community thinks rather poorly and expects not very much of its children, and itself in some ways,” he said.”

That is the entire key to quality education — the community. The rest is just money.

“As heartbreaking and discouraging as these scores are, I would use these results not as a paralyzing moment…but as a galvanizing moment in the community's history to compel it pull together in a way that it's never done before,” Casserly said.

Wow, that's some first-rate bullshit right there!
