We tried this with NCLB, and it did not work. The only way to close the achievement gap between two races separated by one standard deviation in IQ is not to teach anyone anything. And even that would be foiled by white and Asian parents teaching their children at home. Now that Bush is retired, he should have time to read "The Bell Curve".

W., I fought like a banshee defending you.

Today I found out that you ordered a 72 hour cease-and-desist on the apprehension of illegal immigrants....

all to prevent Obammie-the-Commie’s aunt (or whoever the hell she was) from being picked up and deported....

all to prevent an embarrassing moment for Obammie-the-Commie....

This helped him get elected.

So I say this with the deepest respect, not just to you, but to ALL BUSHES...

EFF OFF AND GO ENJOY YOUR G-D MILLIONS ALREADY.

Progressive, New World Order bastards.

“Former President George W. Bush called the achievement gap between white and black children “a national scandal” on Thursday and urged both parties to come together to address it as the central civil rights issue of the modern era. “

Stupid is, as stupid does.

Get the kids in the “inner city” out of being locked into the government plantation society schools. Allow their parents to choose what they think the best school for their kids is and take their portion of government education funding with them (if it is REALLY about support for “education” as opposed for support for the public education industrial establishment), and you will solve the “black-white” school achievement gap.

The “scandal” is public schools and the statistical achievement gap is that so many “minority” kids are concentrated in the metro-area big cities and forced to accept rotten public schools. Let their parents take their portion of school property tax funding, state funding and federal funding (whatever that portion per-student works out to) to ANY school they want. In one K-12 cycle - 12 years - most of the gap will close.

The University of Texas already tried this. The rejected top scoring whites in some programs to take second and third tier, while taking highest scoring favored minorities. It still didn’t work.

Go back to painting lapdogs. At least that is a real person’s work.

This is the inane conclusion one arrives at when you start with the wrong assumption.

He didn’t learn anything from NCLB?

Everything is always going to be better for the rich. Money is not tiny worthless stones. It is what we use to get to better starts for our children. DUH.

But poor and all minorities, even special needs kids, with two married parents who spend quantity and quality time with them and focus on educatin will get the most our of their child’s education. If the school sucks, they can homeschool or go get him into a private school on scholarship. Clean living people of all incomes can make it happen for their kids.

Oh, and Bush? The married clean living families of all incomes do fairly similar, advantage of course going to the rich. The kids with bad educations are the families who don’t live decent family life. You don’t need 20th century school “facts into heads” education as much any more.

Shut your pie hole bush. You were a failure as a president and are the reason we got two terms of the ghetto con artists currently residing in the white house.

You're also the reason I left the repugnant party and am now claim the Constitution Party.

I guess George really is Stupid... totally unaware of the problems in the black community.. or does not care..

No fathers in households and drugs of all types rampant there..
And being mostly democrats or worse what would one expect..
Not that a large percentage white students are that much better..

Not that most schools teach much anyway.... anymore..
No civics or history in most places.. and little decent math..

The teachers unions have dumbed America down greatly.. ON PURPOSE..
And the other unions are just a scam..

You can lead a horse to water and you can put a kid in school (or what they call “school” these days), but you can’t make either of them partake of what’s offered.

Blacks will do as well or better than whites once most black students learn to sit still, be quiet, pay attention, show respect to the teachers, follow rules, do homework and study for exams.

The only way to close the Black and White student gap is to get parents involved and interested in their children’s education. That’s true for a whole lot of White students as well. But I don’t know how you turn bad parents into good ones.

George,,stay retired and paint.

Your comments are completely inane.

Your suck up to Lyndon Johnson, one of the most detestable and corrupt human beings to ever grace the White House is despicable.

This is the man who understood the import of the Civil RIghts
Act when he said upon its passage about having the “ni@@ers” in the Dems pocket for the next fifty years.

You,your father and your brother are the most tone deaf people I know, and you continually prove it.

Somehow, you and your family are blind to who and what Clinton and Obama truly are.

We will be unwinding the damage all three of you have caused for decades to come.

“Lyndon Johnson was continuing the work of Abraham Lincoln, which is really the work of the Declaration of Independence — ‘All men are created equal,’ ” Mr. Bush said.

Miss me yet?? NO!!! He's better off riding his bike and painting. At least then he keeps his mouth shut.

That was what busing was supposed to do. All it did is make a longer day for the kids.

You can lead a person to knowledge, you cannot force them to learn it.

When you are pregnant at 13, you drop out. Gang bangers too

Hubby spent 20 yrs teaching JR College, ALL the Memphis City School grads A/B math average had to do REMEDIAL Math to do his electronics and computer science classes. The county and foreign students did not. Shelby CO did have a different school system. Memphis gave up their school charter, so they could force all the small towns to come under their control. Tiny Towns fought back, and won, they voted to form their own ED systems.

Memphis is 60%+ black 10-15% illegals, and 2% white approx numbers. It is the largest city in Shelby County, TN. They want control of the entire county. People once fled Memphis are now fleeing Shelby CO.

There’s an easy solution here... social grading. Like they do on many civil service exams for police and fire in the large cities. Equal outcomes, not racially disparate ones.

I can’t hear this sort of thing over and over without thinking of Murray’s “IQ Controversy.”
