Some years ago while supporting Greg Copeland run for the St Paul Public Schools Board of Education I, Publius Jr, heard some amazing claims with no credible support by DFL Endorsed Candidates.
I think the most outrageous claim was by Jean O’Connell. She had retired from being an executive at 3M and had won two terms to the St Paul Public School Board. She resigned after Superintendent Valeria Silva was fired. Greg Copeland had answered a question about the achievement gap pointing out a national study pointed to poverty as being a major indicator on the success of a student in public school. Jean O’Connell disagreed with the study saying black students did more poorly on standardized tests than white students. She said they can guess how poorly black students will do on the tests. The other DFL endorsed candidates agreed with her as well.
This narrative black students are just not as good as white students needs to be exposed for what it is. School Choice should eradicate and shake up the K-12 Education Industry in this country, but it is being fought fiercely by these Teachers Union endorsed Dinosaurs that need to be made extinct from City School Boards.
Thanks to Don Allen who made us aware of this upcoming event.
