But the students have self esteem.
The correlation between the two lists is the percent minority population which is a strong indicator of both high drop out rates and one party (Democrat) rule. You could make it more precise if you found out the percent of minority enrollment in the public schools which can often be quite higher than the overall percent of the population.
And we ALL know that is the most important thing, right?
Living all over the nation, teaching for now 47 years, the problem is and always has been: liberalism. If the electorate keeps electing liberal Dems, they will get even worse scores, more dependency, more govt. socialism, more national security pacifism, more multi-culturalism and more tax hikes. Yet the populace keeps electing these dopes because they want security from the womb to the grave and it is killing our free enterprise system, our cultural heritage from the Founders, and our superior military.
The current state of Native American living on reservations and put there by certainly not liberals.
That’s something I hadn’t thought of, but I believe I can still justify my position.
The current state of ANY impoverished person in America IS due to leftist policies designed to maintain their victimhood over their success.
There is nothing standing in anyone’s way to success today except for the entitlement or victimhood mentality. And this mentality IS promoted by leftist policies.
Now, as to who put them on the reservations, I won’t delve into that, but the key phrase is CURRENT STATE.
I think they are a special case, effectively placed in internment camps for 120 years.
“Golllly I am so proud to be from Indianapolis.”
I live just south of you and do everything I can to stay out of Indy. It’s also unsafe.
In “internment camps” by definition would mean that they were being kept there through legal and forceful measures.
I had many NA people at my university classes, so I don’t think that’s the case.
People make choices, and staying on the res is a choice.
I’m finding it interesting that yours is the only reply I got to my challenge.
I will take your premise one step further.Most of those high school dropouts don’t even vote period.
Of course,if they did it would be for liberal Democrats but nearly all the ones I have met “just want to get my hustle on”and they think that politics is completely irrelevant to their lives.
Not a bad idea.
Like New Orleans. Worked out just great for them, didn't it?
