Inferior Schools Or Inferior People Within Them?

"Inferior Schools".

Upon hearing a term over and over again to fail to inspect the parameters of such an argument would be intellectually lazy.

In the video below those who are advocating to protect the government operated school establishment and thus more funding continue to use the term "inferior schools". These are schools that are filled with Black and Hispanic students. In their view the magic elixir is "more money".

Even after the struggle has been won, this term is used. In this case the battle ground is the Chicago public school system. They have purged the unsavory forces who didn't "think the right way" from every seat in the school system and city government. The commanding heights of the city finances are controlled by the machine which is favorable to all per their votes. The parents who were averse to integration have moved away. They are more among friends than at any point in the city's history.

Despite all of these favorable elements, at least on paper - the same code words are being used by these Progressive-Fundamentalist activists.

One must ask: What Is An Inferior School?


  • What do the students look like?
  • What do the teachers look like?
  • What does the community look like?
  • Who defines this state of "inferiority"?
This "perfect storm" of evidence proves a damning foreshadowing of what we as a community can expect when the establishment forces "win" their final victory against the enemies that they have set out against.

It is clear that this force that they chase after is always outside of their own sphere of influence and center of gravity.   Even as their favored people gain control over the institutions - their notions of equality of expectations from the occupant of these seats is not retained.  They no longer protest against the present occupants as they once did.  Instead they focus their protests against those who departed.  They seek ever more encompassing social contracts.  Those who no longer live amongst them are guilty of "benign neglect".

At what point are we, via our bond to intellectual honesty, forced to inspect the present force that is in control over these "inferior schools" and make note that they are not up to the requirements to run such an important institution?

  1. They have cleaved to their flawed economic theories which enumerate "social justice rights" but fail to set the groundwork for organic funding of these all important functions.  Why do they suffer no consequence despite their growth in power and the spread of misery?
  2. They claim that education is the great equalizer in society yet they have squandered this resource by focusing this axiom upon outsiders for the sake of drawing resources from them rather than convincing those who stand to benefit the most that this is their best pathway out of poverty and ignorance. 

Ultimately - the question is:  "When will there be a grand indictment against the macro set of Progressive Theory?".   It does an excellent job in driving consciousness among the greater society.  

It appears to fail miserably in motivating "the Least Of These" that their own actions pay the biggest part in their Permanent Interests than any outsider could ever expect to do.

Unfortunately "Greet Schools" does not have a numeric rating of LaSalle.  The reviews of the school have given it 5 stars.
