Black leaders like Louis King have had enough. He has a message for the school board: "You'll have to make big changes to get us back." He says the district needs a board that views families as customers and understands that competition has unalterably changed the rules of the game. "I'm a strong believer in public education," says Mr. King. "But this district's leaders have to make big changes or go out of business. If they don't, we'll see them in a museum, like the dinosaurs."

How inpatient they are! The libs have only been given 50 years to fix the system.

Glad to hear it. Now, if only they'll remember who gave them charter schools.

"Today, I can't recommend in good conscience that an African-American family send their children to the Minneapolis public schools.
Based on the stats that preceeded this quote, this statement comes across as racist. Why limit the lack of a recommendation to just black kids? From the looks of those stats, anyone should be hard=pressed to recommend that families send their children to the Minneapolis public schools??
Inquiring minds and all that . . .

"But this district's leaders have to make big changes or go out of business. If they don't, we'll see them in a museum, like the dinosaurs." Good post. I have seen the tyranny-saurus, and it has the ruthlessness of the liberal in it's DNA.
