I just got back from Dixie and it's Father's Day, which means I get to cook whatever I want. I've got a full day ahead, so this will be short.
Dig this.
The lousy test scores are dominated by horrific performance among black students. Like it is in Baltimore, which is a city run top to bottom by blacks.
BREAKING: New numbers show 40.8% of ninth graders in Baltimore City are on track to graduate in four years. Meaning, nearly 60% of nine graders are NOT on track to graduate. These numbers are the lowest in the state and getting worse. https://t.co/jZ8dIiIC5P

If every time the education budget was increased, we each needed to write a check to the city to pay for it, we'd have gone completely nonlinear over this long ago. Instead, a decent chunk of it is paid with borrowed money our children and grandchildren will have to repay.
The destruction of a generation of black children is happening, in part, because the rest of us are living in a fantasy world made from borrowed money. It doesn't impact our wallets, it just impacts the lives of people we will probably never meet.
