Please be serious.

This is one of the worst school districts in the country, and don't let the teachers kid you: they are a huge part of the problem. Several school superintendents have been removed for corruption over the last twenty years. About fifteen years ago, so many students were failing to make minimum standards that the mayor took direct control of the school board, sparking a Constitutional confrontation with the Commonwealth.

The Pittsburgh Post Gazette annually ranks high schools in Pennsylvania. The #500 school is in Philadelphia, and it graduates something like 6% of its students at minimum proficiency. Guess what? Harrisburg High isn't even ranked their rating is so low.

Harrisburg had a large white ethnic Catholic population (although a lot of them have left the city.) Those that remain go to Parish grade schools, or to Bishop McDevitt, which is one of the largest high schools in PA. Jewish kids go to the Harrisburg Academy. Very few white kids are in public school.

Yes, there’s a plan. And it specifically uses our schools.

Familiar with The Frankfurt School? Moved here in the 1940’s. Concensus building and sensitivity training came from those people.

They’re just trying to make a smooth transition from home to school to prison.
