"Urban" and "tough" are code words for "black." No one that I know of would ever presume the toughest school in America to be a bastion if whiteness. And they would be right. The single parent welfare society that pervades in the black community is an absolute disgrace. None of us should be surprised that this is the offspring that are spawned from this wayward community.

Why? What does Obama have to do with this?

Repubs are the ones that want spending cuts to non-defense programs including education.

Quote:
WASHINGTON — The White House stepped in Monday with a veto threat against a House GOP plan to advance a round of 2014 spending bills that would ease sequester-imposed cuts on the Pentagon while forcing even deeper cuts on non-defense programs.
Those cuts would come in areas like education, energy and water development and foreign aid.
Quote:
The deepest cuts — almost 20 percent — would come from a huge domestic spending bill that funds aid to local school districts, health research and enforcement of labor laws.
Lovely.

it is terrible that kids who actually want to learn are terrorized by kids who should quite obviously be in some sort of disciplinary program. you can see the lack of parental concern in many aspects of the video; the parents who don't show up for conferences or the tattoos all over the children at the school. but do not mistake this for a black problem. this is a problem for those who are already there. my kids do not have this problem like millions of other black kids. the people in this story are poor and powerless, that is the difference.

Strange there aren't any 15,000 dollar a year private schools in the ghetto, astute observation.

Poverty isn't the issue because Hispanics are poorer and don't face these problems.

Even the leftist agree that black schools and black children are unteachable.


So this thread was just an excuse to be racist, I guess. Sorry, didn't mean to spoil anyone's fun.
