Not anymore. The system is clearly designed to take the money earmarked to educate kids and instead build up our computer industry. The result is to have a nice looking school that is populated and administered by the poorly educated. That is only true of the inner city, the suburbs and private schools don't get away with that. They are judged by results.

But the inner city has immigrant parents and parents who never went to college and single parent mothers and basically just a whole lot of parents intimidated by school and afraid to respond or lacking the fundamental understanding to respond. So we have parents who will make a big complaint about a kid failing, but don't care that the kids are being given an elementary school education.

So these kids go through this system and then discover they can't go to college, they can't get a job that pays a living wage, and so inherently they know something is wrong, just don't know what it is. Now either those of us who do know what the problem is will solve it, or else these uneducated masses will become the majority and elect AOC.
We will never have equality. That is science fiction. Look at children from the same family. They don't have equality, yet they had the same parents, same home, same opportunities, same education, yet often have vastly different outcomes. " Equality" is the opium of the Left. And the only way so-called "equality" can occur is in a totalitarian regime, where the state decides your life, and those who don't like it get sent to Siberia or one of Kim's prison cities. These are the "lucky ones" who get to live.

What we should strive for is freedom -- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Look at Dr. Ben Carson. He rose from the ghetto to pioneer neuro-surgery. So-called "equality" would have suppressed him.

Busing and affirmative opportunity were supposed to solve this problem in America. It may have opened doors for some, but the problems got worse. The real problem is broken homes and broken souls. Their kids will nearly always be disadvantaged. Inner city schools fail because inner city homes have failed.

AOC and her ilk will always deceive the masses with their utopian promises. Their tactics just enhance their own gains. Does AOC practice what she preaches? Of course not. Did Al Gore? Obama? Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton? This list is endless. All of them profiting off the plight of others.

What we really need is Jesus. On a personal level. On a family level.
