The entire public school set-up is rotten. The kids aren't learning and the teachers, for the most part, are not up to par and use too much class time pushing the pc/LIBERAL line. The money is enough but it's being sucked off by unnecessary layers of free loaders or tossed off to contractors that shouldn't be allowed a building permit. Teachers' unions are little more than a campaign money conduit to the Democratic Party.
The thing that strikes me the most though, is the willingness of black leaders and teachers to let black children lose out because they had more hate than good sense, that they keep feeding that hate in place of doing the hard work of getting behind people, like those mentioned in the articles above.
Snakes come in all stripes and colors but to sell out your own to gain power, is about as low as low can go. Some pigs seem themselves more equal than others and color isn't the reason.
What does that have to do with education? Why, silly, our job as teachers is to enlighten the next generation and radicalize them, even as we fight all policies that support a meritocracy, like grades and tests. Just asking kids to take a standardized test is racist, see, cause standardized tests judge you purely on your merits, and that reinforces the capitalist system, which is inherently racist because... uhm... because we say it is, that's why.
