Remember how we said Americans were hurting? Especially black Americans? And how it was all due to “spreading the wealth around?” And how that was, well, no good?
Yeah … here’s the latest evidence of all that …
According to a new report from the left-leaning Southern Education Foundation, more than half of all students in America’s failed government-run education system are now classified as “low income” – meaning their parents’ poor financial standing qualifies them for free or reduced lunches. By comparison, this number stood at 32 percent back in 1989.
(Not) shockingly, the group compiling the data views the obvious answer to the problem as “more government.”
“Without improving the educational support that the nation provides its low income students – students with the largest needs and usually with the least support — the trends of the last decade will be prologue for a nation not at risk, but a nation in decline,” the group’s vice president Steve Suitts said.

When students 'qualify' for reduced or free lunch,
those schools 'qualify' for additional government funding.
Its a scam for more $$
Its been a known fact for more than 20+ years
that students are encouraged to do poorly in order to qualify for more $$
Public schools have become a 'catch all' for more of society's ills.
More accountability from society, but sadly,
less accountability from parents.
Ridiculous!!!!!
We are creating a society of needy MORONS.
