Nolte: Democrat-Run Minneapolis Schools Face Funding Crisis as Smart Families Flee
Breitbart ^ | 06/16/2023 | JOHN NOLTE

A massive decrease in the number of students has dropped public schools in Democrat-run Minneapolis into a financial crisis.

According to an internal memo obtained by local media, Minneapolis Publis Schools (MPS) Senior Financial Officer Ibrahima Diop wrote of an “imminent financial crisis” so serious that “[w]ithout significant changes, MPS will run out of money during the 2024-2025 school year and be unable to operate as it does now.”

Oh, yeah, that would be a real shame.

So what’s happening here….? To begin with, the federal government’s COVID money train is coming to a stop. But that’s not the existential crisis…Here’s what’s really happening…

The city of Minneapolis squandered $27.5 million a few years ago.

Waste not, want not.

Their leftist Nazi Gov should just order all of those racist families of the departing students to send the kids back into the schools in the name of diversity. Problem solved.

Burn money or give it to ‘Publik Skoolz’?
Well, burning money gives one some heat.
Giving it to Publik Skoolz gives one a pile of sh**.
Eff the teacher’s unions, socialist teachers, and woke talking excrement. Eff them now, eff them in the future, and may they eat kitty litter.

“Nolte: Democrat-Run Minneapolis Schools Face Funding Crisis as Smart Families Flee...”

Smart families? I wouldn’t think there were any republicans left in that manure pond.

And now with the DOJ investigating the Minneapolis police department...to ensure criminals walk free and whites are targeted...more “smart” people will vacate the city.

Shouldn’t be a problem at all. Downsize. Reduce staffing. Spend the same per pupil.

There. Problem solved the old-fashioned way.

They got their New Mogadishu results voted for. The school districts Administrators and Superintendents will suffer more than the students.

They tip toe so gingerly about the Somali elephant in the room. Import the third world, become the third world.

Jeff Zuckerberg gave the Newark (NJ) city schools a gift of $100 million back in 2010. It was gone in an instant, with no visible benefit.

My children all went to undergrad at UMN Twin Cities Campus. So over the past 20 some years we have had the usual college kids trek to and from Minneapolis and some short term stays there since mom and dad live 1,200 miles away.

Things seemed fine with the first two. By the time of the third, 2018, we noticed the city was filthy, unkempt, and probably 50% of the retal businesses were vacant or abandoned.

The next thing we noticed was the local news broadcasts. Every story wasn't really the news, but a sales job scolding of the unfair treatment of Muslims and blacks. An example would be if the police department initiated a program placing resources proportionate to reported crime, that was racist and awful. The lead stories weren't actual crimes, but always how unfair it was to police in crime statistics heavy areas. The same themes over, and over, and over. When a crime did make the news, it wa always followed by, "the suspect was a victim of social injustice". Never a word about the victims of crimes, or the facts of the crime. The local media makes their content seem like a continuous advocacy commercial for criminals and a guilt lecture to the viewers for being victims.

Hotels we stayed at were mostly filled with state welfare agency clients / recipients, and patients discharged from emergency rooms at the public hospitals because it's cheaper to put them up in a hotel and send traveling nurses to check on them. Bizarre!

The local public libraries are no longer libraries. They are social services and community organizing headquarters, filled with BLM and ANTIFA members getting command and control coordination and services.

I give the cities of Minneapolis and St.Paul about another two years until they blow full scale "Open Societies blow-out" In anticipation and support of this happening, you now see the feds coming in to do message control and provide teeth for the criminal factions, while beating down the police. The feds will force the police to spend all if their time and resources on suicidal self fulfilling prophecy on the part of law enforcement. A federal police force largely already exists and that's where the conflict is coming from. The federally funded New police force is BLM, ANTIFA, Social agencies. Since they are, every crime or crisis will happen to suit their narrative and needs. This is the Beta test of Obama and Soros new citizen police force. Watch out folks.
