Pretty good evidence here

It’s not good, for sure.  Define “proficient,” though.

Hooked on Phonics: Mississippi's Education Reform Pays Off As It Leads Nation In NAEP Test Scores

The Left likes to pretend red states are backward, uneducated enclaves of MAGA-hat wearing Nazis. They'll tell you all day long how they are smarter, morally superior, and just plain better people than folks in flyover country.  (often voiced by the lowlives here on PPP)

 

Except we've seen what happens in blue cities and blue states, and it's not superior to anyone or anything.

 

So it's going to really tick off the Left when they see that Mississippi is leading the way when it comes to test scores:

 

 

And Oregon is dead last.

 

Oregon did away with testing and graduation requirements in the name of 'equity',

which just means every kid who comes out of Oregon's public schools is equally illiterate.

This is going to be interesting to me how this all comes out. I do not know how her calling a kid by the wrong name became a problem unless the teacher was dumb enough to broadcast that they were breaking the law. I am more curious if the name situation is the "official" reason but there was some other issue they are really firing her for doing.

The right like to pretend that they aren't living off the blue states and big cities.  We call them backwards and uneducated, because they in turn call those blue states and cities the "socialists".

Our great and smart education secretary has been calling AI A1. It's the little things I life. 


i thought you were joking… you were not. 

 

first graders learning all about steak sauce. 😂😂😂😂

 

A1!!! And she’s the leader! Hahaha. No wonder these dolts who are pushing for more American manufacturing jobs - that will mostly be replaced by robotics and “A1” - support her.
 

Holy sh!t. AI is talked about DAILY in most industries and the head of Education for the country read it once, couldn’t figure out that the “1” she saw was actually and “I” and then goes on stage to talk about how great it is. This is too good.

The Education System Is Failing, But Change Is Coming

Now the Trump administration, with an executive order on disparate impact, is doing something about it.

By  Matt Walsh

You will not find a legal theory that’s done more damage to this country in the last half century than the idea of “disparate impact.”

 

Whether you realize it or not, this is a legal concept that has almost certainly impacted your life at some point, along with the lives of millions of other people. In short, disparate impact allows people to sue whenever a policy — whether it’s a government policy, or the policy of a private business — has a disproportionate effect on certain demographics. It doesn’t matter if the policy is intended to be discriminatory. It doesn’t matter if the policy is completely neutral, on its face. All that matters is whether the policy affects some demographics more than others.

 

To give just one example: If a written test for a police academy contains basic math questions — questions which are not racist in any way — the test is still considered to be illegal under the disparate impact theory if, say, 80% of black applicants fail it. The only way to survive a lawsuit under this theory is to prove that, in reality, the disparate impact is strictly necessary for some important purpose of the business or organization.

 

In practice, especially in places like New York and California, this is extremely difficult to prove. After all, we’ve been told meritocracy is now a racist concept. Why do police officers need to understand that two plus two equals four, anyway? A lot of jurors actually think like this, especially the ones who won’t venture outside unless they’re wearing two masks and a portable ventilator.

Hey, look at us! Our white kids are just as good as your white kids!!* Never mind that our black kids are failing at a nation-leading rate.

Mississippi, still Mississippi.

 

*what exactly do you think "demographic adjusted" data means?

demographic adjusted does not just adjust for race, if that is what you mean, but also income, and legal status in our country.
