The host at SevsDeadSerious has been watching the abject failure of the Philadelphia School District; one that I taught in and one that my wife currently administrates in, continues to fail the young people of the city by chronic under-funding over the last 4 years due to the total neglect and closeted racism of the Republican led houses of legislature, as well as the state house with state idiot-in-chief Tom Corbett, who judging by his appointments give great credence to the addage of "white privledge" (ever notice how many privledged white guys deny white privledge...just sayin), leading to the current apocalyptic state of the Philadelphia schools. While yes the state has shown itself to be racist, the fed should also look at the overall state of education in America under the tutelage of the tall, former basketball player who graduated from Harvard and has done next-to-nothing as the Secretary of Education, save for some REALLY cute photo-ops with cute little kids...as for doing anything substantive, not so much. The kid in Philly wakes up every morning know that the state and federal government see them as having little value and reward them with even less opportunity. Like climate change, you can't just close your eyes and it will go away.
