Six Baltimore Schools Can’t Produce a Single Student Proficient in English or Math
Freedom Project ^ | June 19, 2017 | Alex Newman

Posted on 06/22/2017 2:39:08 PM PDT by detective

Despite spending more per pupil than all but two large school districts in America, at least half a dozen government schools in Baltimore were unable to produce one single student who was proficient in either English or math last year.

The shocking results, uncovered by Project Baltimore, show a monumental tragedy unfolding in the city that represents a microcosm of the damage being inflicted on children across America. The proficiency tests put students in five categories, with four and five considered proficient, and one through three considered not proficient.

“I’m telling you, it’s not about the schools, it’s about the home life.”

The students are made of the same stuff as their parents. Any parent smart enough to get out of Baltimore has done so, leaving only stupid parents of stupid children in the Baltimore schools.

“Since the dawn of history the Negro has owned the continent of Africa – rich beyond the dream of poet’s fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare black feet and yet he never picked one up from the dust until a white man showed to him its glittering light.

His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never dreamed a harness, cart, or sled.

A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear, or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour.

In a land of stone and timber he never sawed a foot of lumber, carved a block, or built a house save of broken sticks and mud.

With league on league of ocean strand and miles of inland seas, for four thousand years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thunder of the surf on his beach, the howl of the storm over his head, gazed on the dim blue horizon calling him to worlds that lie beyond, and yet he never dreamed a sail.”

- Charles Darwin

Blacks need to understand that
voting is also acting white.

You’re exactly right. Try teaching a little animal who won’t even sit in his chair.

My kid just got 4 As and 2 A-s.

He was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society.

He was accepted into an elite half high school half advanced school program.

Great baseball player too.

Plays marching Sax and concert Oboe.

He EARNED everything.

We are Christians.

We despise black urban culture of violence and hate.

Not blacks, but black urban culture of violence and hate.

We are patriots.

Every time my son came home and asked me about some liberal robot in school questioning his assumptions, we’d go straight to the internet and learn the truth.

Just a fundamental lack of leadership among the pastors who have some real power in black neighborhoods. They should be screaming for vouchers and school choice. Instead they acquiesce to their children being herded into dysfunctional union controlled public schools and coming out functional illiterates. It wasn’t always like that in the black community. Have to wonder if the collection plate is somehow being supplemented by people with a vested interest.

Most of these students don’t want to learn and don’t have parent(s) that care either. As bad as they may be, quit blaming schools and teachers.

Um... all we have earned is a trip to hell, but Jesus took it for us.

Christians should not exercise hubris.

I’ll bet they all have been taught very thoroughly from early grades about the fairy tale called, “global warming” and “climate change” and “boys who can be convinced they want to be girls and vice versa,” and all about condoms and applying for welfare and telling their moms (and dads and grandmas) to vote for Black Muslims.

Darwin was a big time racist, something that the modern progressive left does not like to discuss. BTW, the donkey and cattle were probably both domesticated first in NE Africa...

Maybe worse would be the idea that academic pursuits are a white thang and therefore should be disregarded by any self respecting, well you know who.

You can’t glorify a self-focused culture and expect to go anywhere with it but in small little circles.

“I’m telling you, it’s not about the schools, it’s about the home life.”

It’s about both. The low standards and low expectations and militant attitude of entitlement are all pervasive. It also pervades other neighborhoods, as well, including the economically privileged.

With not a single vote for Romney in 59 percents I can see why.

One of the reasons why they flooded the country with millions of illegals...They're basically uneducated and happy with a 6 pack and 8 bucks an hour while they have baby after baby, as they loot the social services/healthcare meant for legitimate citizen taxpayers.☺

One of the biggest con jobs ever perpetrated on the American people.
