Study shows leftism denies Black kids a decent education

A new report is out entitled "The Secret Shame: How America's most Progressive Cities Betray Their Commitment to Educational Opportunity for All"

The basic message is that controlling for all other factors the cause for a gap in educational outcomes for minority children is if the city they live in is run by "progressives"; ie leftists.

For example in the ultra progressive San Francisco 70% of white students are proficient in math but only 12% of Black students are; that's a 58% gap.  Washington DC is another ultra leftist city and the gap there is 62%

But in conservative cities like Virginia Beach, Anaheim, and Fort Worth, the gap is 0.

On average the proficiency gap difference is around a factor of 2x between leftists cities and conservative cities.

The study doesn't attempt to explain why leftist cities are so bad but there are a number of obvious reasons.

Leftists strongly oppose school choice even though Blacks want a chance for their kids to get out of the failing public schools.  Why is that?  Could it be that poorly educated Blacks are more likely to vote Democrat?

Also leftists keep telling Black kids that they can't succeed because society is so endemically racist which gives Black kids an excuse for not working hard.

Leftists because of their racist beliefs think that Black kids being violent or misbehaving in schools can't be helped and that the small fraction of violent Black students should be punished which means that education is disrupted for all Black students.

Whatever the reason it's clear it's not the fault of Blacks or Hispanics.  The Blacks in SF and the Blacks in Anaheim are the same; the difference is how the government treated them.

To people who know history this is not surprising.

The Democrat party has always been a racist party.

• It was founded by a racist.
• It fought the Civil War to keep slavery legal
• It founded the KKK
• It passed all the Jim Crow laws that kept Blacks at the back of the bus
• It passed welfare laws knowing that they'd hurt the Black family
• It ignores the thousands of Blacks shot in Democrat run cities each year
• It says that allowing Blacks school choice is "racist"
• It doesn't care that Black women abort at 3 times the rate of white women

That Democrats don't care if Black kids get a good education is what one would expect from a party that doesn't care about thousands of Blacks being shot each year.
