You shall educate me NOT.....so help me God

Raise your hand (I can see you from here…..I have that sort of insight) if you can determine what it is that INFURIATES me about this article, this revelation.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/01/25/education-department-report-finds-billions-spent-under-obama-had-no-impact-on-achievement.html

Did you read it?  Did you catch it…..my point?

Our government in general, and Obama an the leftists in particular, openly, wantonly an KNOWINGLY screwed the nation, at least the tax paying part of it now, and our children later down the road, for exactly NO suspected or anticipated results.

In another very predictable failure, a failure that is validated REPEATEDLY by studies and experience throughout this nation, for at least thirty years, the Obama administration pumped $7 BILLION into a program designed to increase scores and graduation rates for at risk populations in at risk public schools.

And when you read that, you should understand that to mean minority students at primarily inner city schools.

And the results.

Test scores did not increase.

Graduation rates from high school did not increase.

Applications to and acceptance at college did not increase.

And you know why?  The article makes it clear, and if you are interested in our children and our future enough to stay abreast of stuff like this you would know; because throwing more money at the situation doesn’t work, it never has and it never will.  And ADDITIONALLY, the administration accepted that reality when they made the conscious decision to throw MORE money at it in the hopes of finding that magic threshold where more money thrown down the shitter would make it flush easier.  And that will never work.  What Obama and the Department of Education did was criminal, and SOMEBODY should go to jail.

Oh, and on top of THAT……did you catch where the money came from?  The “stimulus plan” that didn’t, aimed at shovel ready jobs that, by Obama’s own admission, were not.  How in the hell was that money, $7 BILLION, given to the DOE supposed to create a job?  Whenever tells you that stimulus money did nothing but pay off unions, think the National Education Association (NEA) and its’ satellites.

In a nutshell, completely cognizant that the plan to throw money at failed schools and failing students would not work, the government chose to throw a record amount AT that problem, from a program meant to stimulate jobs (that didn’t).  This is the sort of incompetent shit that validates everything wrong about the left, about the Department of Education, about teaching and government involvement in teaching.  And this demonstrates a COMPLETE unwillingness to confront the cause of the problem (and I will let you figure that one out).  And this is the sort of things progressives want….never think their fealty to government education has anything to do with educating your kids, or teaching; it has to do with controlling what the kids think they know, and it is borderline useless.

And these same “progressives” are the ones treating Department of Education nominee Betsy Devos as a heretic.

You can follow the money or you can follow the corruption or follow the progressives, and all of them will lead you to this being criminal and somebody needs to go to jail.

I know who I would prefer.
