California has broken its promise to millions of schoolchildren with an education system that is failing to teach students to read or write, advocates charged Tuesday in a lawsuit seeking a statewide right of “access to literacy.”
The suit was filed on behalf of current and former elementary school students and their families in two districts in Los Angeles and Stockton, and a charter school in Los Angeles County. The lead plaintiff is a 7-year-old second-grader who can’t spell words like “need” and “help,” lawyers said.
They said students in one charter school class couldn’t read their social studies lesson and had to listen to an audio version. Some Stockton students “start crying when asked to read out loud in class,” the lawsuit said. And one student said his brother didn’t learn to read until he was held in juvenile hall at age 16.
Statewide, the picture is equally grim, the suit said: Among the nation’s largest school districts, California has 11 of the 26 lowest-performing districts in literacy and basic education.
“California is dragging down the nation,” said attorney Mark Rosenbaum of the nonprofit Public Counsel, which filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court along with the San Francisco law firm of Morrison & Foerster.
In response, the state Department of Education, a defendant in the suit, said California “has one of the most ambitious programs in the nation to serve low-income students.”
The state spends more than $10 billion a year on programs for English learners, students from low-income families and foster youths, said the department, headed by Superintendent Tom Torlakson. It said it will provide further support next year to 228 school districts, including those of the three schools in the suit.

That’s not half the problem with public schools.
Intentionally bad pedagogy that generates lots of jobs and little learning is at the heart of it.
Not when they are filling his head with Satanism—how to sodomize each other and kill your own genetic offspring and that we came from apes. Mark Twain, Lincoln, Ben Franklin and Davy Crockett were much better in the streets and learning Reality than being in an artificial “group think” system which destroys the ability to think for self (individualism) and destroys identity—removal from biological parents which instills common sense, understanding of male/female, reality, and future relationships.
Yes....the old time school house filled with the Bible and was one room produced a 97% literacy rate but kids could not show up if they had evil teachers. IQ was much higher than what John Dewey, the communist, produced with his designed, evil curricula. It was WAY superior to today’s Prussian system of mass indoctrination which destroys identity, destroys traditions, and individualism and understanding of Natural Law Theory/God’s Laws/Higher Laws which form Common Sense— that mindset which created America.
Johnny could be saved by a MORAL “school house” but God was killed with John Dewey and trickled down to the small town schools by Carter’s Reign—the 70s—so all the minds of all the children could be Rotted with moral relativism—the destruction of Objective Truth (God).
Evil parents do create evil children—guaranteed. But that is the reason for a Justice System which only promotes ‘public virtue” which was destroyed by the lawyers and judges by early 1900s. Virtue collapses without a Just system of “laws” and vice only breeds vice.
It is a matter of time before our complete downfall with an evil “justice” system in place like todays where vice is glorified and promoted 24/7 and called “good” and “natural”. It will normalize vice in all the children raised in such an evil, irrational culture. Virtue is needed for freedom (Socrates/Founders).
Natural Duty does begin with a mother and father and nurturing and educating their own offspring. It is a given in Natural Law Theory. But ignorant parents give their children up to satanists to shape and mold into their godless, irrational image.
Total blame is the school.
Democrats mandate the coercive bond. Bond means slavery.
