which he said would fix the education system already fixed by the 2001 GW Bush and Ted Kennedy legislation called “No Child Left Behind,”
which was supposed to fix a system supposedly already fixed by a 1994 piece of federal legislation called “Goals 2000,”
which was supposed to fix a system already fixed by “America 2000,”
which was a 1991 response during the Bush administration to a 1983 federal report on education called “A Nation at Risk,
which was published a full four years after Jimmy Carter first fixed the nation’s public school system by establishing a cabinet-level Department of Education in 1979.
“Let’s pause there for a moment. This statistic, which has been widely misunderstood, simply reflects the fact that an enormous number of households are not headed by a husband and wife, but rather by an unmarried mother. Those households, as we all know, are likely to be poor, in part because single mothers are mostly uneducated and low-skilled, and in part because it is hard to make a lot of money while having sole responsibility for children. I’m not sure that this tells us anything about “society,” except that it has an extraordinary tolerance for illegitimacy. No wonder Miss Utah was stumped!”

Minorities don’t fail schools; schools fail minorities. (sarcasm) In reality, a lot of the problem with minority heavy districts is the use of racial quotas to stack the teaching staff with unqualified minorities. Because the minorities who are qualified to teach are working in higher value jobs they are also unqualified to perform, thanks to racial quotas for those other jobs. The thing with racial quotas is that it’s turtles all the way down.

LMAO
Say what they want about her being smart or not, she at least sees education as very problematic. That’s certainly a lot more than any of our supposed brain-trusts see.
She gets a D for presentation, and a triple A for content.
At least she has a better grasp of where her problems started than those that detract from her do.
She was right though that other young woman who said we need big brother to protect us was a complete uninformed American citizen. Did that same girl win? I hope not.
She actually wasn’t any less articulate than the self-made multibillionaire Mike Bloomberg was in talking about the importance of learning proper grammar.
She also is a third his age and had a far greater audience listening live than Bloomie ever pulls.
She sounded just like an Obama voter. They try to repeat Obama’s words like they are from the bible but they don’t quite understand what they mean.
Rachael Maddows fans too
Utahns understood what she said. It’s sort of a white suburban mountain west form of ebonics.
Talk about a no win situation. She gets a complete nonsense question that was built on a flawed premise and starts out trying to give a reasonable and truthful answer….. Then somewhere in the back of her mind it occurs to her that if she did a truthful response, she would have been castigated along the lines of Carrie Prejean. The one who should have the criticism and scorn heaped on to her is the questioner.
straitjacket.
