The failure of public school education for underprivileged minority children without political connections is the greatest civil rights scandal of our time.

The soon-to-be Mayor of NYC has announced his intention to kill New York's venerable elite schools because basically too few POC's qualify to go there. Is this a good thing? It seems to me that every decent school district in the country has programs for kids who are identified as high intelligence or conspicuously talented, and they are great assets to the districts, regardless of the demographic groups represented.
Further down in this article, the pundit goes into the fiscal and moral disaster that is the Baltimore city schools. It consumes an incredible amount of money for its size, and the only ones who benefit are the thousands of worthless bureaucrats who are hired and the teachers' unions, which put out the worst-educated kids in the State of Maryland. Fortunately, the Leftist governments at the city and state level will keep increasing funding for these dead-end schools because the unions are so valuable to their electoral goals.
Methinks a Trump-like governor, brought in from the private sector with no further political ambitions, might be the only solution to what ails Maryland and its school system. But would the natives elect him/her?
