You speak the truth.
Recognize that NOTHING you do will make them happy, so the best response (from the perspective of what is best for YOU) is to do nothing for them, and work at reducing their power over society.
Running the Blacks out of town is an old DemonRAT thing going back almost 200 years. Wonder if they’ll use their KKK again or a new cleaned up version.

“Kennedy’s remarks were Chicago specific. Your experiences in Los Angeles are apt to be different.”
Perhaps, but I doubt that. Chicago is dominated and run by the same people as LA: Democrat politicians. And the schools are dominated by the same left-wing teachers, administrators and unions. Same people doing the same thing with the same complaints and the same results just in a different geographic location. More pointless noise. More insanity.
Amazing...I got to get an concession stand for popcorn on FreeRepublic...Gourmet Popcorn anyone? Get your popcorn here..
Y'know what might help? Voting straight ticket Democrat, instead of always voting for, oh, wait, what? Thanks PBRCat.
In education spending per city, Boston is the top, at $20,502 per pupil, NYC is next at $20,331 per pupil, and then a big jump down to Anchorage ($15,419), Montgomery County, MD ($15,080), and #5 Baltimore City ($15,050). LA Unified is actually in the middle, at $10,670... and the national average is $10,700.
http://247wallst.com/special-report/2016/11/30/school-districts-with-the-highest-spending/4/ lists the top 9 districts (not cities) for 2016.... 6 are in NY, and the other 3 are in Alaska. The top is Pocantico Hills Central School District (enrollment 287), at $63,760, more than $20,000 higher than second place, in a district with an average salary of $100,000. I can't even comprehend that kind of spending insanity.
Home of the five-finger-discount.
Chris Kennedy doubles down in a radio interview on WGN 720 AM:
Our major city, Chicago, is using a strategy of selective containment where we’re allowing violence to continue as long as it only continues in certain neighborhoods. We have an ‘80-8 Rule,’ where 80 percent of the violence occurs in just 8 percent of our city… We’re cutting off resources to push people of color out of our city and perhaps out of the way of economic development.
We’ve closed 18 public schools in Bronzeville alone. That neighborhood just south of the Loop, there along the beaches of Lake Michigan, is the next great development play in Chicago. It will be a development play, but not for the residents who have lived there for years and years, and who are being pushed out. But instead, for a new wave of gentrification that defines a city which, as it gets smaller, is becoming whiter.
DEMOCRATS FIGHTING EACH OTHER!
Bullseye, in the V-ring.
I lived in the City of Downey and worked for the school district for almost 40 years.
As far as you engineers are concerned, you all did a pretty good job and delivered some pretty good plans and specs.
You just forgot that when you design and specify for a school district it needs to be tougher than a state penitentiary.
If you gave 70% of the students an anvil for a present Christmas morning, they will have it torn up by lunch time.
Downey?! Wow! Small world. I lived in Downey until 2015 and had a hand in several of their school modernization projects. Love that city and still go there weekly for fellowship meetings. Too bad I lost the house in the divorce. ;-)
As far as engineering and design of the schools, we don’t make them like we used to. Schools that were built out here in the 1920’s and 1930’s are still standing and in use and were completed on time and within budget at a fraction of the cost compared to today. But that’s an entirely different matter.
You completely took my remarks out of context. Being on a cell phone, I could only provide a brief summary to the poster.
Yep, they average about six a day and twenty a day on weekends
