Larry just lost in landslide so it appears the parents of children in California's government schools are A-OK with an educational system that repeatedly fails their children.

Apparently so, many already send their kids to private schools and the immigrants have no power. And the Blacks vote 95% for Dems, so the status quo remains.

I have heard that poor kids are just as smart as White kids.

Yep.

This is exactly why the military gives the ASVAB tests - it is an IQ test with a cut-off below which the military doesn’t want them. Military says at a lower IQ, recruits are discipline problems and have problems following orders.

That and the military wants to know who is able to repair and maintain their jets and other high-tech equipment. You’re not going to get that the low numbers.

Son took this test a few years ago - against my wishes - and scored a 99% - highest score given. He said the test was insultingly easy. Military desperately wanted to recruit him after seeing his scores. We said “over our dead bodies” - and I come from a military family...

And it is a sad commentary on American politics that the idiot who said that is in the White House.

Yes, the wealthy send their children to private schools - that have and have had in-school learning - like Gavin Newsom has done with his own children - while locking down the government schools, sending children home to be schooled by computers.

This didn’t seem to matter to Democrats in California - who overlooked Newsom’s rank hypocrisy and “do as I say, not as I do” means of governing the state.

As someone said above: He’ll probably celebrate at the French Laundry - and you can be sure it’ll be inside and without masks.

They’ve been trying this for decades. Has it been fixed yet?

You can’t overcome genes and family support.

Most of this is a result of Lyndon Johnson’s “War on Poverty” which effectively destroyed the black family structure. Unwed births went from 24 to 77 percent.

Few have the courage to tell this truth.
