Highland Park's two K-8 schools and one high school have recently come under the jurisdiction of an emergency manager appointed by the state to address the district's $11 million deficit. The state's most recent plan is to find a charter-school operator to run the district.

Probably the kid’s best hope is to privatize the schools. But of course that would never happen. The teacher’s union will never permit the loss of the teacher’s cushy no accountability jobs.

There have been many legal cases arguing that states have not adequately funded certain schools or districts, or that students' constitutional rights have been violated by being in de facto segregated schools. But this case takes a new approach by focusing narrowly on the core skill of literacy and a state law that addresses it.

Sure it is always the fault of the Evil White Man!

NO it couldn’t be rampant corruption in the school’s administration.

NO it couldn’t be incompetent and unaccountable teachers.

NO it couldn’t be the predominant Black culture that disrespects education and ostracizes those that speak intelligently, study hard and seek to achieve academically.

NO it has to be the Evil White Man because that is what the “Black Leaders” tell us and it gets the Black society off the hook of having to own their own problems.
