Detroit was once the most prosperous city in America. In 2013 it, after 50 years of Democrat rule, Detroit went bankrupt.
Now this⦠Today over 90% of public school eighth graders are not proficient in math and reading. CNS News reported:
In the Detroit public school district, 96 percent of eighth graders are not proficient in mathematics and 93 percent are not proficient in reading.

And it’s no accident.
You don’t want educated slaves picking cotton on the Democratic plantation. They might get uppity and then you have to whip ‘em until they learn.
A California district just decided that 21% is a passing grade in school and 80% is an “A.” Could these fools be from Detroit?
Amazing how nuns used to be able to do this but $19,000 per year per pupil cannot.
Fortunately for Dhimmicrats, most of the public schooled public do not know that 90% is a big number.
Education is the soft underbelly of the Dhimmicrat party. I love to visualize Trump confronting the Dhimmicrat candidate during one of the debates saying, “If your path cares so much for Blacks, why won’t you educate their children?”
You got that right.
But somehow, most of these kids become proficient in weights/measures, packaging, distribution, business negotiations, sales territory protection and sales.
FWIW, a better picture would also report on how inner city charter and private schools are doing.
