Its not the education, but the kids (thugs) in them that make it worse.

This is true, but blaming the kids would not be fair, the root cause is the total absence of parents in these kid's lives.

Just because his opinions don't fit your narrative doesn't make them less true. Sowell was brilliant


Sowell stopped writing his column at the end of last year.

Here is his last one.

Lack of resources + lack of concern from parents + lack desire from kids = shittier public schools in poorer areas.

and this is a direct result of democrats buying votes for the past 50 years with the taxpayers own money. Paying people to have kids they cannot support and will not support

High schoolers today are virtually illiterate about American history, the Constitution and the structure and function of American government. This is intentional.

True, integration. White flight really amped up in EBRP after the forced busing of the mid-1980s.
