This is the same school system that was given $4 Billion, which the schools used on Olympic pools, start-f-the-art theater buildings, and every conceivable perk that the wealthiest school systems in the US might have one or two of... and their test scores didn't change at all... and now half of them are closed. Liberalism at work, once again.
I wish the children and grandchildren of the social engineers who start all this were the ones getting insulted, beaten or burned. You can bet their kids were far away from that kind of situation. Public schools aren't good enough for the Obama kids and he is right. The problem is they are not good enough for anybody.
Geeze! Illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Burned to a crisp and dead can't.

You’ve just made my case for home schooling.

Besides that, the “public school” can only operate at the level of “lowest common denominator”. There used to be “college course”, “business course”, and “general studies” (for the dummies), but we can’t do that anymore.
But compulsory “public school” is a collectivist-statist institution and should be abandoned by a free people, anyway.
***Another white victim is 15-year-old Ashley Miller, whose family had moved to K.C., MO, from Kansas. Subject to racial harassment, she was called names such as white b****.***
Now, back in the olden days, if something like this happened, part of the city would burn down and (comments removed before the mods remove them), but then, it would be safe to walk the streets for years.
This being the case, y'all need to take a chill pill!
(do i really need the /s?)
I can tell you that one of the biggest problems is lack of parental involvement in supervising and being a part of local school policy.

If the parents attend godless government schools they will learn to think and reason godlessly. They had to, just to cooperate in the classroom. How could it be otherwise?
If the parents attend socialist-entitlement, single-payer, government schools then the risk is that they learned to be comfortable with government socialism.
Today’s government teachers are reaping the godless and socialist fruits sowed by previous generations of government teachers.
My brother in law and his wife, Presbyterian and Lutheran, live in KC, MO. They send their elementary school kids to a Catholic school.
This kid’s parents should sue. That’s the only way to get the attention of Holder’s peeps.
I expect most of them are just poor. They probably rent in a hurry without checking out the neighborhood. Or maybe they don’t realize that there will be so few white students in the school because there are older white families in the neighborhood or white families who send their kids to private school.
I have family in Detroit. City of. I would never send my kids to a majority black public school (or public school period). My family there also knew better. None of them were wimps, but nobody without a cpl has a chance on these 5 on 1 scraps.
Theres a lot of fears of violent retaliation if you tell the truth about it.”
Exactly. Who says violence doesn't work? Almost all governments are imposed and sustained by violence. Their goodness depends on who they aim that violence at the peaceful citizens or the criminals.
In the 70s Kc district had 70,000 kids. Now it is 17,000. Last Fall the district lost it’s accreditation. Draw your own conclusions.
People on FR who say they won’t vote for Romney because he is exactly like BO ignore the Eric Holder angle.
Can we survive another four years of Holder? is a great questiin to ask them.
My family members who lived in Detroit and Pontiac took advantage of schools of choice and/or went to private schools. My mom's from Detroit, and Grandma refused to send her to DPS even back in the 50's and 60's.
Is it possible when the schools undermine the parents at every step??
When teachers condemn and ridicule religious beliefs in the classroom... when they hand condoms to 11 or 12 years olds and teach them to hump like little rabbits (and no opt outs)...
The fact is that publik skoolz do NOT want parents to be involved. They HATE it when parents show up and try to sit in on a class. Every time they complain they are told they are the only ones who have a problem with it, even when they know many others who complained too.
There is almost nil coverage of this as far as i can tell. One tv station had the story on their website . (Heard about it on Houston radio). I think the KCstar had an article(not sure).
