California schools are horrible and it is 100% the fault of the
left-wing Democrats who have hijacked California and ruined it.
Graduating from high school is important. It’s the stepping stone to a
successful career and future. Unfortunately, some states have
significantly lower graduation rates than others.

Graduation Rates From State to State

California has the most disheartening statistic of all fifty states, with
a staggering 15.5% of its population aged 25 and older failing to acquire
their high school diploma or GED.

California's five-year graduation rate saw a slight uptick from 87% in
2019 to 87.3% in 2021, and of the 429,000 students who graduated, around
half achieved their A-G requirements in both years, according to EdSource.

Sacramento had one of the largest percentage point decreases in graduation
rates, dropping 7.6 percentage points – from 92.9% in 2019-20 to 85.3% in
2021.

The overall decrease in the school district's graduation rate is
attributed to a combination of factors, including students who have moved
away and those with moderate-to-severe disabilities receiving Certificates
of Completion instead of diplomas.

Biden and his black whore should both be horse-whipped, tarred and
feathered.
Last Wednesday, the United States Department of Education released the
utterly disastrous results of the National Assessment of Educational
Progress (NAEP). The same day, the department also hosted a conference and
issued guidance encouraging school districts to mobilize students based on
their sexuality for left-wing political activism.

The NAEP data showed that 13-year-olds today are nearly a grade level
behind in math compared to 13-year-olds three years ago. It showed that
low-achieving students today are nearly three grade levels behind where
they were a decade ago. The Department of Education thus released a
guidance "toolkit" recommending that schools form GSAs.

BOSTON TRAGEDY EXPOSES PROBLEMS WITH TRANSGENDER MOVEMENT AND LEGACY MEDIA

Millennials may remember GSAs as "Gay-Straight Alliances," school clubs
that encouraged solidarity against homophobic bullying. But that’s no
longer what they’re called nor what they do. Today, "Genders and
Sexualities Alliances" are, according to their website, intended to
"empowe[r] and trai[n] trans, queer, and allied youth to advocate,
organize, and mobilize an intersectional movement" for "racial and gender
justice" and "intersectional liberation."

The Department of Education guidance also encouraged schools to adopt more
"inclusive language." For example, removing the words "mother and father"
from school forms.

During one of the panels at the closed-to-press event that accompanied the
release of its guidance, the department featured an apparently trans-
identifying student who complained that they wanted to live in a world
where they could go to the airport. They feel that they cannot do so now
because of "like, laws in different places, you know?" They said they
looked forward to a world without "transphobes," and implied that they
were optimistic that we would have such a world once the boomers died off.
They also said that although they usually don’t trust "cis/het men over
50," they have a good relationship with their principal because he
punished a student who "dead-named" them.

On the day that news of the academic carnage dropped, the Department of
Education chose to telegraph its intent to force schools to punish
students who don’t use preferred pronouns. It also chose to insist —
contrary to the letter or any plausible reading of civil rights law — that
so-called "book bans" could violate students’ civil rights.

Now, there isn’t anything particularly surprising to the substance of all
of this. It’s not surprising that the Biden Department of Education would
press schools to facilitate left-wing political activism, erase the words
"mother and father," or platform a trans-identifying student who has been
propagandized to believe that interstate travel is literally physically
unsafe.

But the timing here is actually a bit galling. The Department of Education
could have picked any day of this month — of this four-year term, really —
to release this "toolkit" on "creating inclusive and nondiscriminatory
school environments for LGBTQI+ students." It chose to do so on the day
that NAEP scores, which any reasonable observer expected to show horrible
results, were released.

Conservative parental rights leaders have accused the Biden administration
of being more interested in students learning their LGBTs than their ABCs.
It sounds like a grossly unfair accusation. It really should be. But last
week, the Department of Education played perfectly to this caricature.
