The city buses in Houston included pre-recorded messages in Spanish telling passengers “this” is where to get off for welfare.

CA and TX - due to the great number of illegals.

I just saw a 2017 article from the sacto bee that had Salinas as #3 for high murder rates in Cali. I would bet that Watsonville is up there as well, but isn't a large enough city to be included in the comparisons.

The entire once-Golden-State is most safely viewed in one's rear view mirror.

Doesn’t take much head scratching to conclude that these numbers reflect the host state’s parasite population.

How bad would the state be if 100%

Of the High School Graduates from the Public School System in Los Angeles, more than 75% can NOT read, write or count beyond the 3rd grade level, but they all can put on a condom in the dark.

There are millions of Mexicans in California who arrived here with less than 4 years of education. In Mexico most parents take their kids out of school as soon as the kid is big enough to work.

“Yet for some reason, most of the country looks to California for educational policy, practice, and curriculum....”

When I graduated in 1974, CA was ranked #1 in the nation based on test scores.

My, how quickly things change.

THIS news breaks my heart. When I was a kid back in the early fifties we were so proud of our State, our city (Long Beach), because we were the number one city in the number one State when it came to education. We were number one in everything except size thanks to Texas. Loved it when Alaska became a State, and the Texans couldn’t crow about it anymore.

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH! It’s why Democrats are a dirty word in our house. Always despised them.

California’s a third world hellhole - lots of poor ignorant members of the servant class and a small percentage of ultra educated ‘elites’ who live like pigs on LSD...
