Those living outside the U.S. may not know that the states in the southern region of the country have always placed at the very bottom in terms of test scores in English, math, and science. This has been part of our nation’s reality since compulsory schooling was put into place in the 19th Century.
Now, if you or I were in charge of the public education system in a place that was failing, like Louisiana, we’d place calls to the folks in states that place at the very top and ask for advice. But no, helping kids get ahead, and live more productive and affluent lives doesn’t mean a thing in the Deep South.
That’s as it may be, but he’s a handsome devil.
And that girl must by proud of herself and her moral values, right?
We have hundreds of convicted criminals on the streets due to Trump’s pardons. We have a quagmire in Iran due to Trump’s pointless and illegal war. The United States is viewed internationally with a blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.
These were some dark days in U.S. history, but they seem bright and shiny in comparison to today.
Nixon didn’t storm the Capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government, nor did he hand out pardons for cash.
