I hope that I am doing this correctly.

I found the story with Polipundit and worked from there.

Here is the NYT piece referenced :

At least they don't have to worry about how the private schools are spending their tax money. Which reminds me...why do they even care about private schools when participation and donations are completely voluntary? Don't they have enough problems in the public schools to report on?

There are poor kids in private schools. They are there on scholarship.

does the NYT have some sort of "public school education program"?

I remember many decades ago, local papers used to provide materials and "stuff" to help train students to get into the habit of reading the newspaper.

Perhaps the NYT is threatened because they don't penetrate into private and homeschools.

Perhaps the NYT is too biased for anyone but public school teachers and so they are threatened by smart students.

The New York Times, like its partner the Democrat Party, is deep in the pockets of the unions (including teachers) and the trial lawyers. Everything the NY Times prints must be viewed in that context.

The Times report says “Children in public schools generally performed as well or better in reading and mathematics than comparable children in private schools.” The actual study says, “In..both reading and mathematics, students in private schools achieved at higher levels than students in public schools.”

When they compared similar children, there was little difference between those in public schools and those in private schools.

Overall, those in private schools tend to do better because many private school students tend to be in higher socioeconomic groups, and most of the poor students tend to be in public schools.

I bet that not many private school kids have to worry about being raped by their teacher.

What I found interesting about the article was that there was no mention of homeschooling. Could it be because academically speaking, homeschooling performs much better than either private schools or the government schools? Selective presentation of information at the NYT?...say it ain't so!

The NYT article was propaganda for it's political fellow travelers. You could have read the title on the article and gathered that. So what's new?

Yesterday when I saw this article, I called BS on it due to the fact that it's the NYT. Looks like I was right, but it's not as if figuring out the NYT is lying requires a divinely inspired prophesy either.

It is appropriate to compare similiar children coming from similiar background. Anyone who has observed the population of students in public schools knows that they are far more likely to come from families which are incapable of raising them properly and with few resources pyschic and financial than are the students of home schooled or private schooled children. The latter catagories have FAR more parental involvement with parents who are not disfunctional, not in prison, not on welfare than public school children.

Comparing the children of the typical FReeper with the children of the typical welfare mom does not tell the whole story when their educations are being evaluated. Much of the "failures" of the public schools are the result of the failures of the failing students' parents.

The Slimes knows very well that there are some poor children in private schools but these are a cut above the typical poor child.

How many Freepers, who hate the NY Slimes, are supporting the NY Slimes with their mutual funds. Without mutual funds owning the NY Slimes non voting stock, the NYT would be in real trouble.

How do I find out if my mutual funds own NYT Stock, and what can I do if they do?

Here is something, we can all do today to start eliminating the NY Slimes as a threat to our nation's security. We can do it at our computers and do it in less than 1 hour. Besides sending a severe warning to the NY Slimes and the mutual fund companies, who buy NY Slimes stock, we will stop the fund company wasting our precious investment capital on NY Slimes stock.

If a few thousand freepers did this simple action this week and a few thousand new freepers, friends and relatives each following week, we will have a terminal impact on the NY Slimes acts of sedition. Please send this how to your blogs, friends, relatives and email lists. This action will serve as a cannon shot across the bows fo the other Dinosaur Liberal Fish Wraps re sedition will not be tolerated any more, and any mutual fund daring to buy their stock to support treason and sedition by the NY Slimes.

TODAY, SELL/TRADE MUTUAL FUNDS OWNING NYT!!!:

 

Want to smash the NY Slimes?
Check your mutual funds to see if they own NYT, the NY Slimes Stock

 

 

How many of us own mutual funds which own NY Slimes stock and even worse have increased their NYT holdings this year.

NYT investment by a mutual fund company is a terrible investment re the dollar loss in Stock value the last 2 years. Those investments are an attempt to keep the NY Slimes afloat with our mutual fund $'s.

Now it is very evident that the NY Slimes is an agent and abettor of the al Qaeda Serial Killers. The Slimes is endangering the lives of our families, friends, innocent Americans and every warrior of ours.

Go to this link to see if your mutual fund owns NYT.

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/invsub/ownership/ownership.asp

When the MS Money stock home page comes up, enter NYT into the search area and hit enter and the following screen will show up re ownership of the NY Slimes stock:

The New York Times Company: Ownership Information

  • Shares Outstanding 145.00 Mil

  • Institutional Ownership (%) 83.40

  • Top 10 Institutions (%) 58.60

  • Mutual Fund Ownership (%) 42.64

  • 5%/Insider Ownership (%) 7.77

  • Float (%)

Highlight the Mutual Fund Ownership and hit enter.

If thousands of Freepers, whose mutual funds own shares of NY Slimes did the following:

  1. Sell those mutual funds or trade them for funds not owning NYT.

  2. Send a letter to the fund managers and the CEO's of the mutual fund company telling them why you sold/transferred their mutual fund owning NY Slimes stock. Then demand to know why they are wasting your precious $'s on a treasonous/seditious company which is a terrible investment.

  3. Contact the SEC to investigate why this mutual fund and mutual fund company invested your $'s in one of the worse investments of the past 2 years. On 21 July 2006, NYT closed at the low for this decade. If your mutual fund owns, NYT, was the investment of yours and others a political bailout of the NY Slimes?

    The link below will take you to the SEC site and enable you to use the email form shown on this page. Or you can print the form, fill it out and mail it to the SEC.


    https://tts.sec.gov/acts-ics/do/complaint


  4. Send this how to re Mutual Funds with NYT stock to everyone on your email list for a wakeup call.

We might have a lot more impact selling/trading any mutual fund, which owns NYT, than trying to boycott companies which sell to the elite liberals of NYC and advertise in the NY Slimes.
