Public Education At Work

[Red Regal T]

Six students in Oakland, CA, have filed a lawsuit challenging the requirement that California high school students pass an exam showing that they have gained a minimum amount of knowledge on certain core subjects like math and science before they can receive a high school diploma. These state educated students get about 10 chances to take the test, and they get free remedial courses every time they fail. That's not enough for the six students who just, frankly speaking, weren't bright enough to pass even after being spoon fed.

Yesterday we had students protesting outside of the courthouse where the suit was being considered. They held signs reading "Stop the Exit Exam. Testing is not Teaching."

Sorry .. but they're wrong. Testing is most certainly teaching. It's teaching you what you haven't learned.

Anyway ... one student .. with a ring through her nose, spoke for the CNN cameras. Here is what she had to say:

"So we want to show our support and to show the judge that we will not stand in silence and allow our students to be failed and denied the opportunities to equal education."

Well now, isn't that special? They aren't going to "allow" these students to "be failed." Not that it would do any good, but someone ought to try to explain to Ms. Government-educated Ring-through-my-nose" that these students aren't "failed." They fail. There's a difference, though you might not expect a government schooled teenager to understand it, between failing and being failed. And as for this "opportunities to equal education" nonsense. Again, maybe someone can explain to her that equal opportunities to education do not necessarily mean equal results from education.

None of this matters though. My guess is that this judge will kill off the exit exam in California. After all, who do these legislators think they are? How can you demand of students that they actually show that they have learned the material? .........LEFTIST ALTERNATE REALITY.

Can't you just buy a diploma out of the back of Rolling Stone magazine? I bought a fake ID there back in '76 to buy booze. Guy at the liquor store liked it 'cause it had a photo on it (proof it was me, we had paper licenses at that time). Haha.

I think it's very sad they lost their ebonics lawsuit.

It looks like the idiots are gonna be 0 fer 2.

Yeah that includes the outcome if they win the case too.

"we don't need no stinkin' diploma!"


here is another elitest dummy public school system in the wicked smart state of MA

[weester87]

I SMELL BIGOTS..............................

I will say that eliminating the exit exam is B.S.!

[salvageV6]

I smell a lying lefy.

I think they should get a diploma that says NO TEST in big letters on it if they don't take the exam, make it voluntary.

Let employers base their decisions on how they perceive the education status of the recruits, and allow them equal access to the exit exams for in house testing.

Then they could 'punk' these supposed "graduates" in the real world.

This is outrageous even to make this stretch. Where do you get this accusation? I get it.....projection. You must be the bigot. You leftists are always sizing people up according to their ethnicity, or who's better than who. Let's see........who should be the victim? Right?

I don't even know what you're talking about. If you think, I think, it's disgusting for, or would descriminate against, a teenage girl, who has a gold ring in her nose, then, you're right, I'm a bigot.

Again,

I smell Bigots!

[salvageV6]

How about this statement then, Oakland is the home of the educationally challenged lawsuits.

Liberals at their finest.

So you don't think THEY will be the losers if they win their case?

I could easily make a case for that argument.

Again I smell nothing but lefty liars with no argument or position.

Such haters.

If a bigot trumps a troll lying lefty it's okay with me with the name calling.

[Skylark-69]

A bigot for thinking these people are only cheating themselves by demanding they not have to meet a set standard? Give me a break.

[salvageV6]

A break from Weester?

Come on..... ooops that should be MOVEON.arg.

Thankfully somebody gets it.

Yep!! 70% of the country now gets it, and it keeps going up. Pretty soon, you guys can crawl back into your seedy little communities of trailers and continue to have incestual sex for the next Jerry Springer show.

70% according to a worthless poll. Keep dreaming. I have to think you only say such things to be annoying. Only moonbats believe the type of things you say.

Well, you'll never guess. The Kalifornia judge ruled to kill the exit exam, today, saying it was "discriminatory". And the dumbing down of America continues. Let's just forget about what the left has been about since the 60s. You know back in the 60s........when people went to high school and even if they dropped out, they could still read. Now, students don't have to take tests because if they were to fail, it may destroy their self-esteem. No.........give them a diploma anyway. Dumbing down our children to the lowest common denominator just scratches the surface. The 60s is when the left took over the media. The moderates of the time thought, what harm could they do? Hey, live and let live...........they're Americans just like me, ignorant of the fact they were leftists. Leftists who only want high taxes and redistribution of wealth, to people who milk the system. Who could know that their agenda was to make the USA into a socialist country and to destroy our American culture. This is just another step in that very direction.

Like it was said, they won but they lost.

You expose your elitism. Leftists are convinced they are so much better than other people. There will always be BLOWHARDS like you, but they won't be in power.

What the majority of the country thinks when they get these daily opinion polls is, "is this true?" That's because they no longer believe what the mainstream media has been feeding them since the 50s. From the 50s through the early 90s, the mainstream media had the majority of the country's attention, BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OTHER MEDIA. Now, sorry, the mainstream leftist media has lost their monopoly. Zogby had Kerry winning by a landslide. So much for leftist pollsters. Americans have had enough "forged documents" from the proven leftist liars. We can identify all their biased or omitted and outright false news because there is an ALTERNATIVE MEDIA that tells America the truth.
