John Kerry claimed this morning on NBC TODAY that only 53% of America's children graduate from high school

Actually, the quote says that 53% DON'T graduate.

When Kerry said "our", he was referring to himself and the mouse in his pocket.

Actually, he said 53% DON'T graduate from high school.

Probably because he considers only public high schools to be real high schools.

More BS from Kerry. The number is actually 85%.

Of course, no one will call him on it..

Kerry's 53% claim conflicts with a recent press release from the U.S. Census Bureau: "High School Graduation Rates Reach All-Time High"

As usual he gets his facts wrong

But I wonder if he realizes that he just slammed the Teachers that teach the kids??

But 53 percent of our children don't graduate from high school.

So what he actually said is 47% of children graduate and more than half dont.

You have to be a real peice of Samsonite to even imagine that that statistic is true, much less say it.

idoit.

On this one, Kerry is right, it is actually worse but, the problem is kerry, the democrat's, the unions and their attack on the parent and taxpayer that have failed a generation.

Remember Union=Criminal.

Don't know why he's complaining, the illiterate, semi-literate and ignorant voters mostly lean towards his party in every election.
