How is American education going? In at least one blue midwestern state, not well.
Nonprofit research organization Wirepoint has looked into Illinois public schools, and their performance deserves less than an “A+.” Among more than 30 institutions of learning, zero students can read at their respective grade levels.
As for math, across 53 schools, no students are proficient.
The bulk of those underperforming campuses — twenty-two in the case of reading and thirty-three in the case of math — sit within the City of Chicago School District — where taxpayers annually spend between $5,929 and $56,311 per student.

But I bet all of those kids know all the words to every violent racist rap "song" you can find. They probably can name all 72 genders too.
Lie-beralism destroys everything it touches -- with education being hardest hit!!!!!

So what? Math and reading — in fact any kind of intellectual competence — are racist.

There was a reason that slaveholders did not want their slaves educated. They did not want them to be able to read or write because becoming educated was dangerous. It gave you power to want more, to see beyond your existence and challenge the authority of those who owned you. It opened up the possibility of wanting your own life and depending on yourself. Nothing has changed. The schools are liberal bastions that are dumbing down education because an uneducated populace is easier to control, to manipulated, to rely on the government for their basic needs. Easier for them to become good, loyal dem voters. The fact that the children cannot read at grade level or do math should scare the hell out of you. It is time for the black community to decide one of two things: yes, our children are too stupid to compete with white children and we just have to accept that fact OR the schools and the parents need to kick some butt and get these children doing grade level work and succeeding. There are no acceptable excuses.

But weren't we scolded that proficiency in math and reading are tools of white supremacy? Chicago's one of the leaders of the woke wave.

And this is news? Democrats like things just the way they are. Children become adults with just enough learning to put an "x" in the right spot on a ballot or application for welfare. Any student doing well in reading, writing or math is considered a 'sellout.'

If the teacher's unions worked at teaching as hard as they worked at political activism, we would have the smartest kids on the planet.

CRT, DEI, trans, drag queen story hour, “minor attracted people”, homosexuality, the 1619 Project, and the teachings of Nicole Hanna-Jones and Kendi, not to mention The Little Red Book of communism are what is being taught.
Parents who care should take their kids out of government schools or any schools that teach “black studies”, “women’s studies”, or “queer studies”, or who segregate or discriminate in any way. Start your own schools. Our Church did, using the Principle approach, and it’s very successful. They teach American and world history, math, the Bible, reading, “civics”, tech, and all the things that allow a child to be morally upright, independent, and to love America as founded. The children wear uniforms and are not permitted to have iPhones on them at school.
You cannot starve a toxic virus if you keep feeding it: Stop feeding government schools through child sacrifice.

Why even pay for teachers at those schools. Just replace them with prison guards an turn them into day prisons for the kids.

Leftist 'educators' are executing the party's wishes to have an uneducated, obedient populace. The MSM will help them in every way possible.

Thats not a bug in the education system, its a feature. You will never get a republican elected when Republicans run on self reliance, individualism, and self responsibility. Not with a drolling mouth breathing electorate.

So sad. Back in the 1930s, my parents graduated from public schools on Chicago's southside. Dad got a mechanical engineering degree from the University of Illinois, Mom's degree in science came from the University of Chicago. Chicago's public schools were excellent in those days, some of the best in the nation. Parents demanded nothing less.

Math and English are white supremacist subjects, anyway! The people of Chicago are basically too stupid to want to learn anything... Look who they have as Mayor and had as a community organizer, another stupid SOB!

Since the 1950's the people of the ghetto have known the way to survive without working. They know every government program needed to get a living. Except for a brave and bright few, propelled by their tough mothers, they have no reason to learn to be useful. They never intend to work.

Fire them all, break up the unions, make teachers know the subjects they teach, focus on basics and stop the social engineering requirements.

You can safely bet that about the same academic failure is occurring in just about all the leftist and socialist Democrat run inner city schools and will only get worse as long as the Democrats focus is handing union school teachers more and more pay regardless of the dismal performance demonstrated by their students. Common sense will tell you that situation will only worsen as the Democrats need an expanding permanent underclass to win elections, and are engaged in seriously bolstering that underclass put allowing a million or so illegal alien children who do not speak or understand the English language to enter the public schools in those Democrat run sanctuary inner cities.
