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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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.

The language gap certainly contributes to low educational attainment.

So the lie about illegals being here to pay into Social Security is exposed. First, low income earners don’t pay that much into Social Security. Second, low income earners receive much more out of SS than they pay in. Social Security is extremely socialized.
