Will Gavin Newsom run for president based on his record?
I remember when CA had the best schools.

Probably because of all the Mexicans and blacks. It's probably like Baltimore; the schools are basically for warehousing them so they don't commit crimes all day. They don't learn. They mostly don't graduate, not even "socially" (meaning fraudulently). There was just this week a local article that most Baltimore high schools have a below-50% graduation rate.

He was one of your 'students'.

My students can read a map, teach you grammar, and explain Shakespeare for you if you ask nicely.

Hispanics are the reason, mostly illegals. That is something all 4 states have in common.
