This is what happens when you import an ignorant class.

Bringing this country down has been job one at the white hut since 2009.

Given the trajectory of this problem, we will be finished soon
if not already.

[raybbr]

Whether this can be turned around remains to be seen.

Let me guess? With millions and millions of our tax dollars we might have a chance, right?

California is lost. Nothing can save it except a reckoning and NO ONE has the political will to start one.

Whether this can be turned around remains to be seen.

This problem (illegal hispanics) started long before Odumbass. Bush 2 WANTED something very much like this in 2000.

Vote-crazed Obama's obsession w/ emptying out the Third World into the US is turning US schools into refugee camps........w/ big plans to inculcate the savage illiterates w/ hate-America, anti-American ideology....IOW reliable Democrat voters.

===================================================

CASE IN POINT A primetime network news segment focused on an "impoverished" latino mother who paid big bucks to get her/ son coached to take the College Boards---but he was so stupid, he still couldn't pass them. So the C/B decided to "change" them so that Pedro could pass using subversive Third World hate-filled US history.

THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

REFERENCE Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy ideology.

============================================

Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups
Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook findings TTT has found including distortions, omissions and half- truths all passing for accurate high school history..."The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism."

"Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry. Strangely enough, these radicals would not hesitate to use the government's police power to enforce the changes they desire. Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

Facts don’t matter to liberals. Being wrong just causes them to double down on their ideology.

Recently we shared a breakfast table with another couple. The
guy was from Az. I asked him if he has seen many escapees from Ca filtering into his community. He said many. His cohort from Florida, an MD no less, said, is there something going on in Ca? He avoided conflict with her, they were friends, but it was obvious he was uneasy to answer. She was oblivious, from South Florida, so probably a dem and Hitlery supporter. Ignorance of what is going on by many in the voting class killed this nation.

[Mouton]

Yes, good ole Georgie. I recall he did not lift a finger to support those two border guards who were in a shooting conflict with some illegal border crosser and drug dealer. I lost all respect for him there. He compounded my distain when he let Libby twist in the wind.

We need another Bush in the White Hut as much as a moose needs a hat rack.

[Will88]

So what, they work cheap and vote Dim and that’s what the Uniparty wants.

The most urgent problem for the American education system has a Latino face. Latinos are the largest and most rapidly growing ethnic minority in the country, but, academically, they are lagging dangerously far behind their non-Hispanic peers

Why is this a "problem for the American education system"?

What else would you expect?

Education is not something that is done to you, like penicillin for strep. It's something that students do themselves (with guidance, of course), to the natural limits of their interest and aptitude.

One look at Mexico, or Guatemala, or El Salvador, and you would predict that their citizens would lag substantially behind Euro-Americans, whatever the "system" does or does not do.

Ignorance of what is going on by many in the voting class killed this nation.

If you ignore an infection because the symptoms are moderate for a while, you may find yourself in big trouble when you get blood poisoning. I see a political analogy--the country is being infected--super-infected, in the sense that there are many different types of invasions simultaneously. It's going to be awful hard to put Humpty back together again.

“This is what happens when you import an ignorant class.”
WRONG!!
This is what happens when you NURTURE an ignorant class. The flood of European immigrants of the latter 1800s and early 1900s came to America to become AMERICANS.
Their culture was brought with them. Their traditions came with them. Their religion came with them. Cities, large and small had sections where the language was foreign as was the signs in businesses. Yet the “country” said to them, “YOU WILL BECOME AMERICANS.”
The children, Italian, German, Russian, Polish, Swedish and a melange of people from everywhere did indeed, in a generation become AMERICANS. They retained their history,foods, customs and religions but they retained them as AMERICANS.
The children in school were educated in ENGLISH, the language of the land. They were taught the history of the United States and taught to love the land. The children of lands that had been at war off and on for a thousand years got together and these immigrant boys and girls raised generations of AMERICANS. These newly minted AMERICANS went to and fought and won two world wars, and aided in building the greatest in history.
So, how are today’s youngsters “educated”? Teach them in a language other than the national tongue. Teach them to scorn the United Stats, its history, its traditions, its religions, and its very existence. The “education class” has become the most dangerous enemy of this country.
Rome went down, injured from within and the world entered the Dark Ages. History does indeed seem to repeat itself, doesn’t it? Whether you are “offended” or not, I don’t care, but GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY.

Look at CA’s K thru 12 student stats and you’ll see a snapshot of CA’s future.

They come here for love...love of the US dollar and state support.

Another piece of the puzzle is how to address the complication of very early, usually unmarried motherhood. Religious beliefs in Hispanic families often limit sex education and rule out abortion.

Let me see if get this straight: Hispanics rule out abortion due to religious beliefs, yet they have no problem with premarital sex? Am I missing something here?

Can we stop with the talk that Hispanics (like blacks) are conservative in social values? They seem to care more about getting their 30 pieces of silver (welfare handouts) than following God.

Also, why hasn't California collapsed yet? I keep hearing all this talk about the state's economic troubles. Where is the collapse?

“This is what happens when you import an ignorant class. / Bringing this country down has been job one at the white hut since 2009.”

Heck, it has been the Democrat Party goal at least since they revised the immigration laws in the mid-60s! Instead of wanting the best and brightest, we deliberately try to get the bottom of the barrel - and that is LEGAL immigration.

[dila813]

All degreed hispanics I work with came legally to the US or they have lived in the US for many generations.

I never thought about it till I read this article.

1 person even came to the US 3 years ago under an H1B but their college degree is from Mexico.

This is what happens when you import an ignorant class.

Given the trajectory of this problem, we will be finished soon if not already.

While I agree that the trajectory has increased since the immaculation of oblahblah, this problem predates him and his clique of anti-American communists; in fact, it goes back to the middle of the last century and LBJ's 'war on poverty' which, as you probably know, was and is primarily a war on American values.

The language gap certainly contributes to low educational attainment.

The border has been a sieve since for as long as I have been alive (the '50s).
