I'll bet you $500 that what few white kids who do attend the Detroit public schools, still outperform the black kids.
"White kids are better", argues blob. That's just odd . . . or worse. You could just pull up the report on that computer thingy you're typing on.
You would win the bet though. I believe an entire10% of Detroit whites were found to be proficient in math. The "achievement gap" is 3%. Almost the same gap as between Seattle blacks and Aurora, Colorado whites.
White kids are much more likely to have two parents. Another argument that leftards love to ignore.
Now we're getting somewhere. Single parenting is something you want the schools to fix, Gasbag?
No, we could start with our welfare policies, that you support, that encourage people to have kids out of wedlock. We could also go back to creating a social stigma against having kids out of wedlock that is at least as strong, as it is against smoking or calling someone a "fag."
So everything isn't really up to the schools.
Glad we could find this point of agreement.
I've never said that, nor have I ever thought it. But you have said that our welfare policies aren't responsible in anyway for the rise in illegitmacy, and that you wouldn't support stigmatizing out of wedlock births, despite the fact that you did exactly that with your own kids.
