BALTIMORE: Overrun with rats … and black students who get the shaft

By John Eidson | August 8, 2019 According to a Project Baltimore investigation reported by the city’s Fox45 TV affiliate, 13 of Baltimore’s 39 public high schools have zero students who tested at proficiency in math.

Zero!

Six of the other 26 schools reported less than one percent of students as being proficient in math. Out of the 3,840 students in the remaining schools, only 14 tested at or above proficiency. In other words, just one student out of every 272 is proficient in math—that’s one-third of one percent.

One-third of one percent!

So how much is paid to the school officials responsible for such indefensible results?

Here’s a summary: ● In a city where the typical household income is $44,000, Baltimore City Schools CEO Sonja Santelises is paid $310,000, seven times what the average family makes. ● The superintendent of schools rakes in $298,000, and the top five district administrations are paid an average of more than $200,000 each. ● Forty-five other district employees make above $150,000, more than the state’s governor is paid. ● Baltimore’s public school system has 776 employees who make more than $100,000.

What all of these lavishly-paid “educators” do each day is anybody’s guess. But one thing they don’t do is provide even a minimally acceptable education to the city’s predominately African-American students.

Besides being paid fat salaries for failing miserably at their assigned mission, the city’s public school administrators have something else in common: they are overwhelmingly Democrats.

Given the stunningly poor results they produce year after year after year, could it be that these extravagantly paid Democrats don’t give a rat’s ass about the futures of the desperately disadvantaged children they pretend to serve? Sure seems that way.

To be fair, socioeconomics also plays a role in the poor performance of inner city students. But through its welfare-for-votes social policies that have addicted millions of out of wedlock black mothers to a lifetime of government dependency, the Democratic Party bears full responsibility for the horrendous living condi tions in urban America, conditions that rob minority students of a home environment that’s even remotely conducive to academic success.

Who are the real racists? What is your answer?

Vanguard Collegiate Middle School art class – Baltimore. Nothing against art classes.

But Reading, Writing and Arithmetic will always be essential to economic survival and a happy life.

Across the United States from kindergarten through university, American students are being taught subjects and environmental extremist ideology that have little to do with helping them be qualified for meaningful jobs.

“The costs to attend many schools are far above the value the students receive to be successful in the real world.” (Calvin Beisner – Founder, Cornwall Alliance.)
