Fascinating report on the abject failure of the black students in the Dallas School system:

One of the really nice things about NCLB is it forces all the schools to collect data by race and release it publicly. The Dallas numbers are just as useful and interesting as the OUSD numbers.

So much for College Prep. Too bad the money isn’t going into vocational prep. If you want to really destroy a group all you need to do is offer false help that makes their situation worse. Hand a drowning man an anchor, tell them to hold on and somebody will rescue them.

Brave New World.
