Two parents in Baltimore, Maryland, have filed a lawsuit against their city and its school district in response to shocking reports about the progressive city's abject failure to educate children.

Earlier this year, local news outlet WBFF-TV highlighted the story of a woman who graduated from the Baltimore City Public Schools system without being able to read. The outlet also found a whopping 77% of high schoolers at one area high school were reading at an elementary level. Another report discovered that in the past year, 41% of BCPS high school students earned below a 1.0 grade point average.

"This is terrible," Jovani Patterson said at the time after hearing about the reports. "This is just further perpetuating a cycle of poverty, of despair."

This is old. And it the study essentially says they can read anyway.

The government steals your money and spends it on themselves. They say that they are doing a vital job, but they do it poorly (if at all).

The government is basically a scam. A vampire that has convinced us we need to keep it around.

So they're suing now? Where were they when the kid(s) were in grade/middle school?

They don't read at grade level. I addressed the issue in February:

Understanding gang signs and graffiti doesn't quite get it in the employment arena.

Grade level however is pretty much irrelevant to the real world.

That's bullshit if the "real world" has anything to do with finding a decent job in a competitive job market.

The jobs that have competitive grounds also require college degrees. I don't think we need to worry but so hard about their reading.

Oh, they must be black.

Good job, klanguide.
