Are they concerned that some students have slipped through the cracks and did not have
enough exposure to Tranny-Porn, Drag Queens and perverted sex instruction?
Instead teachers indoctrinate them about the joys of fisting and how a boy can become a girl and vice versa and how to pick out which of the 57 genders they are. Instead of teaching about how good they have it in America and how capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any system in the world, they teach them to hate America as racist and sexist and that capitalism is all about greed.
Funny that they don’t blame a teachers’ union whose only purpose is to get democrats elected, and are themselves illiterate.
Also, there has been a raping of the finding over the years. In one case parish 4 in New Orleans was ghosting students and not providing an education to the students with the federal funds and the school board was complicit in misappropriation. The school board was generationally run with at least grandkids of past members controlling the funding going back decades. I think there was very little attention on that fiasco when the feds decimated the board, lit the grand jury under their asses, and took control of the district.
I will assume that similar malfeasance is happening in other major cities and the same actions should happen but cronyism will keep that from happening.
Bullet holes?
failing air conditioning that made paying attention in class impossible in the sweltering heat.
I attended Catholic schools in NYC. No air conditioning. Swelter in early fall and late spring. So what?
If we complained about our discomfort, the nuns would scold us and say that we should "offer it as a sacrifice to God."
I have seen personally the offices of the local school district administration vs the school rooms. The admins should be fired. It is disgusting.

I went to a one room school.
often we had to rear our mittens and coats until mid day when the stove and hopefully sun warmed it up to above freezing.
It was sometimes 40 below zero in the classroom when we got there.
No running water, got electricity when I was 7.
BS I have seen what two teachers can afford on their pay taking summers off. Worked on one house that was on a lake. It was a expensive timbers framed house with a 25 foot wide stone fireplace. The mason spent weeks laying real stone to build it.
80% of my property tax goes to schools. The other 20% funds roads fire police jails senior outreach parks animal control ECT.
The ASVAB is basically an 8th grade equivalent exam. A dwindling pool of young Americans can pass that. Recruits are 18 and up. And they can’t hack 8th grade work.

“Our grandparents when to one room schoolhouses with a pot belly stove providing heat in the winter and open windows for cooling when it was warmer. Their books were old and tattered because they were USED.”
My grammar school years were in one of those one-room schoolhouses. One teacher, eight grades in one room. And, yes, a wood stove for heat and open windows for cooling. Textbooks were used over and over, and many were remnants from the 1930’s. We had three sets of encyclopedias, one from the mid ‘30s, the others from WWII era. Our library consisted of maybe 40 overused books.
But WE LEARNED! We learned arithmetic, reading and writing in cursive and block. We learned basic sciences, history, literature and civics. And EVERY DAY we all said the Pledge of Allegience!
Our school was in the Ozark hills, but when we got to high school nearly all of us were at least equal intellectually, and sometimew well ahead of the city kids.
1) The nuclear family in this country has vanished. Most of the kids are raised by a single mother or a relative. There is almost no male influence in their parenting.
2) Because of that, the kids have no self discipline. They have no sense of value other than what they learn from their peers and media. Social promotion is the rule, they cannot be told that they have failed because they actually can't comprehend what that means academically. They have high opinions of themselves based on the status in their peer system.
3) Schools are holding pens to collect government money for a 100 day student head count.
4) Teachers are the least qualified college discipline. An ED major is considered to be a last resort for a college degree.
5) Schools and teachers unions run their agenda in the classroom and that is independent of subject matter. Teachers are held accountable to meet the social criteria more that academic performance criteria. If the social criteria isn't met, administrators shamelessly pencil whip numbers until they qualify for government money.
6) Drugs are pervasive through the systems. Pot consumption is the norm. Students are blasted in class from the 4th grade and on.
Oregon Eliminates Educational Standards
As a new school year begins, Oregon students are no longer required to demonstrate skills in reading, writing, and math. Until 2026, an Oregon high school diploma no longer guarantees academic achievement, but only participation in a system with undefined parameters. The legislators, school districts, and the governor supporting Senate Bill 744 saw that this “will benefit Oregon’s Black, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Tribal, and students of color”.
The state has adopted the position held by many 19th century abolitionists. When I read Fredrick Douglass’ autobiographies, one passage always stays with me. After speaking to an abolitionist audience, Douglass considered the evening a great success, because he concluded his talk believing these people were convinced, he was equally human with them.
He mentioned this as a significant event, because many strong supporters of black freedom questioned whether these people were fully human. If educators would treat minorities as individuals, they would design programs allowing opportunities for achievement commensurate with those they see for white students.
I remember Dr. Martin Luther King saying, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character…..little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.”
To me their understanding of brotherhood and individual value proves more meaningful than perception of white racial superiority.
Most of the schools should not be in schools. They should be working at a trade or hard labor. Most of these people are disruptive and troublesome. Maybe the students should fix the schools they destroyed.
Dumbing down the last 2 generations was all intentional. They’ve made citizenship all but pointless and trashed our education system, which along with government has been totally hijacked by the Communist left. All part of the plan.
failing air conditioning
Grew up in Texas we didn’t have AC in the schools, and even here Oct to May its not necessary. Then again back then we actually went to school to learn to read, write and do basic math.
