"Mistakes were made, but comon, man..."

#4 Critics argue that state interventions generally have not led to big improvements.

Mostly due to foot-dragging and sabotage by the Teachers, their Unions, and Democrat Politicians?

#5 Some school board rep said on the news last night, "They didn't even talk to the parents!"

Not even 100,000 of 'em.

#6 Leftism, CRT, "Wokeness," and drag queens in schools must have tested the public's limits.

#7 If you do nothing, they complain that you don’t care. If you do something, they complain that you are heavy handed racists. Certainly, there are majority white schools that also underperform. Generally, those failures occur in smaller communities in the hinterlands and are not on the same scale. Hopefully, they have a better plan than the Bush Administration did for Iraq.

#8 The district has to be really bad to be taken over by the state. I suspect they failed to meet mutually agreed to criteria several times prior to takeover.

#10 You can pitch it as Repubs vs Dems, but this is not a new problem. A couple decades back, a buddy picked up his family and moved from Houston to Pearland, just south of the city, to get away from the Houston Independent School District. I doubt he was the only one.

#11 The only solution is the one Paps Mundi came up with: the fathers get inolved and coach these boys - usually throught sports. But dads have been exorcised from society and that the moms have been shown to be "lacking" in the area of masculinity. It's almost like this was the plan.
