I didn't see it as a racism problem, but more of a poverty issue...problem being, most of the **** school districts are in the ghetto...Cannonpointer » 26 Sep 2023, 10:58 pm » wrote: ↑ The hilarious thing is that they compare dekalb to decatur to prove structural racism.
Dekalb spends 12,341 per student.
Decatur? 11,718.
By the way - I had to google those numbers. Yellow journalism does not inform, does not provide facts. You have to do that for yourself.
It's not what you spend. It's how you spend it (and who you spend it on).
Baltimore, MD pisses through 21,606 per student - and insists that racism is the reason their student can't read and can barely even commit murder with a loaded gun in their hands.
