A Ray of Sunshine

From the Delaware News Journal, which is typically full of whiney people going me me me…
Democrats responsible for dumbing down schoolsDemocrats are the party of racial balance, school busing, the redistribution of both wealth and middle-class income, softness in dealing with our nation’s sworn enemies, and an unconstitutional government by a majority of nine members of the Supreme Court that forces others to play the same game in opposition.
Thirty-two long years of busing brought me to the conclusion that, on most issues, the liberal media lies.
George W. Bush was an infant when dumbing down curriculum to a lowest common denominator and other schemes by egalitarian zealots were introduced. Who were these schemers? Why, they were liberals.

I went to a different damned elementary school every year thanks to that busing nonsense until my parents moved us away. Glad old Willy agrees.

Yeah, I was bussed into the slums from 4th to 6th grade. Pretty damaging experience.

i live in the same area in southwest missery, er missouri, i want to skrool in. when i went to skrool, grades 1-6 were together and there was some busing to get the distant kids there, and grades 7-8, then 9-12 were together, but the buildings were all on the same property. Now, 25 years later, kids are bused all over the place. Buses here, buses there, buses everywhere.
another complaint was when we lived in St. Louis (1994) and my kids went to the local public school at Mehlville. there is/was a program initiated called magnet schools to get kids into the city schools via incentives for students and teachers, only it looked to me like it was reverse polarity. the school thugs transferred about to the suburb schools. And, the transfer schools were not given specific background info about these transfer students, so over in another suburb (Bermuda i think) north of us, one of these thugs hid in the girls bathroom and attacked and drowned a girl in a toilet. My son almost turned into a gangsta and started flunking and skipping class, pulled the shades in his room and only went out for school. He was either scared, trying to find a place to fit in with the dark side, or teenage hormones perhaps, but we got the hell out of there (i couldn’t afford a private school then) and moved to a small town in SW Mo. known for winning state football championships, not perfect, but closer to a real public education.
side note: it was probably racist of me to seek out a less diverse school system and not trying to understand or appease the skrool system and those folks we left behind.

I remember the 40-60 minutes bus rides on I-95.
Ahhhhh…many a pencil fight were won or lost in those dark days by the emergence and perfection of the ‘Husky Factor’.
