It's time to pull your kids out of government schools, people. You can't expect total strangers to care more about your kids than you.

Not necessary. Just don't live in a district with a significant (>10%) black population when your kids are of school age.

Individual conservative families win the battle when they are able to move out to the suburbs where the schools are better and the students and parents are more supportive of education.

Conservatives as a whole lose the war when the inner cities become cesspools of liberal nonsense that breed politicians like Obama who go on to wreak havoc at that state and federal level.

Way back when even big cities had sizable conservative populations who could be counted on to keep the lunatic fringe leftists out of public office.

That's not the case anymore.

True. My kids go to public school in MA. In state-wide rankings our school district received poor marks for “diversity” as our schools are 97.3% white. Meanwhile 96% of our students score in the top percentile for MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) Math and English. It’s all about the town you live in basically.
