Meanwhile in LA, Baltimore, New York, Detroit, Chicago, they can't read at a 3rd grade level.

According to you.

You want standardized education levels?

Bring back the U.S. Department of Education.

This 'chitty' job, as you say, was caused by the proliferation of substandard 'charter' schools in America.

Arizona, being as "pro-big-business" as they are, has had charter schools from way back. They started a long time ago with forcing private schools down Arizonans' throats for years, and Arizonans have already paid the price, remaining a red state far longer than we should have, and leaving Arizona kids in the dust educationally. They wedged this stupid idea into the mainstream consciousness by offering lower-income families "vouchers", which, miraculously, only paid a portion of the outrageous fees charged by these charter school businesses. And now they are slowly giving these lower-income families the middle finger because now the public schools are steadily "going away" and the Legislature, in their God-forsaken "wisdom", is also slowly pushing these lower-income families out of the system, while faking their numbers and test scores. This has been going on slowly for literally decades, and if you haven't been seeing this over all this time, then you are as near-sighted as Trump. I'm just damned glad I don't have kids in this disgustingly red state. Currently we have a blue government structure, but the Legislature is as "big-business friendly" red as they've ever been. And they are, predictably, failing our kids.

Why is keeping businesses out of the business of government so repugnant to you people? Afraid you won't be allowed to make money off the backs of lower-income people? Sick.

Head in the sand.

Why are facts so abhorrent to you?

Oh, wait. We know why.



This was said by Donald Trump in 2016 in a victory speech after winning the Nevada Republican Caucus.

Stupidity is planned. Big business does not want an educated workforce. Educated workers demand collective bargaining, living wages, health care and pensions. Ill-educated workers accept low wages, no health care, no pensions, hire-&-fire at will, because they have no other options. Ill-educated workers are above all compliant, and THAT is what Big Business wants; Big Business has designed a school system which churns out compliant workers like chocolate chip cookies on an assembly line--each the same as the previous and the next ones--because those are the only people who would work on an assembly line.

Trumo blurted it out at a rally because he saw poll numbers showing that intelligent people don't like him.

It is not simply that educated people do not like his personality. It’s that they don’t trust him.
