But 53 percent of our children don't graduate from high school. Kids don't have after-school programs...

Ooops, Senator, it's 53% that actually graduate. But what I'm curious about is how these rates play out in his home state of Massachusetts where he has been senator for about 3 decades and his party has held a clear majority for ... well for a very long time. Hmm. He and Teddy have been in a position to enhance their own state's educational policies and the Mass state educational system should be stellar then, right? We should be seeing the clear fruits of their efforts within their state. Their literacy and graduation numbers should be phenomenol and a shining example to our nation and to the individual states. Ideas he should be eager to share with the nation in a bipartisan way. *sound of crickets* (I hope the DU trolls are reading this.)

I don't know how Mass state numbers actually play out, but he's just spreading the hate. I'd listen for his reply to this never asked question, but I don't have time to hit the slopes at Davos right now...

Read the census links again - it's 85% who do graduate.
