I don’t know who “We” are, but I’m serious about educating my kids. It’s nobody else responsibility or business to educate my kids.

Are we serious about education?

No.

I think it’s all part of the larger picture to undermine democracy. Building a large underclass of uneducated, dependent voters ruled by elites is the goal.

Are We Serious About Education?

As a public policy, "no."

To liberals, the level of "seriousness" is directly proportion to the number of tax dollars thrown at something. They're big on building large buildings with "state of art" facilities, because it shows "how serious they are," and it gives them cover for paying off their union construction buddies.

They also love to fund "educational programs" because it gives them cover for paying for more teachers, counselors, and administrators--all union, of course.

They are not serious about measuring whether or not students are studying the right things, or whether students are making progress.

Tell me there is not a racist dumbocrap conspiracy to keep minorities down after reading this. Our own idiot “all middle finger Obama” is part of the plantation.

During the time of slavery, black people would risk death to learn how to read and write. How angry and betrayed would these brave black slaves feel when they learn that once again, young blacks that want to learn how to read and write live in fear of persecution? Not from a fearful slave owner, but from a fearful classmate, who ironically, is also black.

Great, a state of the art building where students get a state of the FART “education”. The more we spend the less we educate.

[DeFault User]

Other examples could be cited of educators who produced outstanding results for minority students — in New York, Houston and other places — and faced the wrath of the education establishment, which sees schools as places to provide jobs for teachers, rather than education for students, and which will not tolerate challenges to its politically correct dogmas.

Be sure to read the entire article. He gives details on others.

Rats need people to be stupid and easily led - they would have to rely solely on the dead for votes otherwise.
