The underlying goal of the present administration is to shut down everything that is independently successful and replace it with government-run entities that work toward dumbing down society and destroying capitalism. I was a teacher in DC public schools and the public has no idea of how out of control the students really are behind closed doors. Many schools are filled with unmanagable, unproductive students. Teachers are overwhelmed by poor student behaviors and attitudes. The public shouldn’t trust the “test scores” – they don’t reflect the truth that is going on behind many of the closed doors of the public schools in DC or anywhere else in massive school districts. There are schools in DCPS that are truly performing well, but those are not the norm. It’s all a smoke screen to make the school districts and city leaders look like they are productive so they can keep their jobs and reap the luxuries of power.

I don’t get his thought process on this matter. If the DC scholarships are a good idea and help the students then they should be continued. If they are bad and don’t help then why continue them at all. He seems to be acknowledging that they are a good thing by continuing them for the current students, because if they didn’t work why would you continue them.

I knew it the moment Obama opened his mouth about cutting the “unworkable” federal programs. I knew they would find anything workable and kill it. This is another example as History unfolds, federal zombies like Serrano hypnotically does the opposite of common sense. I swear to you, there is such a thing as Nancy Pelosi Disease, the immunity to reason required for a good Manchurian Candidate. Now, it actually is a psychosis but it cannot be diagnosed because the APA sat on the disease. In the Cold War we called it “Indoctrination” but away back then we knew what the words mean.
