“The Arizona Immigration Bill is an affront to the civil rights of all Americans and an attempt to legalize racial profiling…I am calling for a coalition of civil rights organizations to work with those in Arizona to resist and overturn this state law that violates the rights of Americans in that state.”
Prior to going to Arizona, Sharpton compared Arizona’s law again to Jim Crow laws of the South, apartheid in South Africa, and Nazi Germany. Sharpton conveniently overlooked the fact that his constant references to the violation of civil rights of blacks, Jim Crow laws, and so on are a reflection of the racist policies of the Democrat Party.
Forget that Arizona was merely enforcing the state and Federal laws—laws the Federal government was unwilling to enforce, laws already on the books. According to Sharpton, asking for proper identification by law enforcement when confronting a person accused of violating a traffic law is now considered “racial profiling.” Given that America is the melting pot, aren’t we all being racially profiled if pulled over for a traffic stop?
Sharpton’s beef with Arizona was that it has the nerve to enforce its laws? I was certainly confused. There was no logical reason for Sharpton to make a pilgrimage to Arizona, except for Liberals to make something racial out of something obviously non-racial.
Sharpton had no business in Arizona to advocate allowing millions of illegal immigrants to become legal in America, thereby taking jobs from Americans. With reported unemployment in the black community at 31percent,[17] allowing millions of illegal immigrants to take jobs from Americans should have been sacrilegious.
If Sharpton’s track record of achievement in the black community is any indication, I suggest the Mexicans call the references on Sharpton’s credentials, because everything Sharpton touches turns to ghetto.
For those who are circumspect, you have to be wondering who is pulling Sharpton’s strings. I suspect Sharpton’s actions in Arizona were the work of high-level, white Democrat operatives, the Liberal Illuminati. Though Sharpton is not the sharpest tool in the shed, I can’t believe he would want for Mexicans what he has helped achieve for blacks.
All that said, there is somebody worse than Sharpton, and that person is Obama. His administration is the one suing Arizona, as we have shut down sovereign US territory, ceding part of Arizona to the Mexican cartels. Is there anybody in America who wants us to become like Mexico? If not, then why do you think Liberals are so accommodating to have the Mexican influx, some say as many as 4000 per day?

Social Security isn’t the only Ponzi scheme where Americans get the shaft in favor of illegal immigrants. In the state of CA alone, anchor babies cost taxpayers $7.7B per year—just for education. The children of illegals make up 15 percent of the K-12 population—one of the many benefits to being the second largest state as well as the plethora of sanctuary cities that share a border with Mexico. Is it any wonder America’s schools have become little more than failure factories.
I first heard the term ‘failure factories’ used to describe America’s public school system when watching the movie, Waiting for Superman. The movie explained what we have all witnessed, that over the past few decades our educational system has deteriorated to almost Third World status. It’s no wonder given the pressures to teach a very diverse group of people, which now includes illegals. But that’s exactly what the Liberals want. U.S. schools are not education factories, but are indeed failure factories. We can’t allow “shamnesty” voters to form opinions on their own, so the American educational system creates Liberal group-think. Drones.
Liberals owning the educational system didn’t happen overnight. It took baby steps. Yet again, we find that the real culprit was Jimmy Carter, the guy who started the Department of Indoctrination, or as it is formally known, the Department of Education.
There are a host of reasons given; however as this report from Freeman documents, these are nothing but excuses for the money grab.
“Many so-called education experts believe that class size—the ratio of students to teacher—must be reduced to improve learning. We’ve already tried it. From 1955 to 1991, the average pupil-teacher ratio in U.S. public schools dropped by 40 percent.
These experts also proclaim that lack of funding hamstrings reform, and that the 1980s were a particularly bad time for school finances. Wrong again. Annual expenditures per pupil in U.S. public schools exploded by about 350 percent in real dollars from 1950 ($1,189) to 1991 ($5,237). In only two years during this 40-year period did spending fall: 1980 and 1981. Spending grew by about a third in real terms from 1981 to 1991.
The average salary of public school teachers rose 45 percent in real terms from 1960 (the first year data are available) to 1991. This increase masks a more variable trend. Real salaries rose until 1974, when they began to level off and even decline. The average salary reached a trough of $27,436 in 1982, after which it rose to an all-time high of $33,015 in 1991. Instructional staff in public schools generally saw their earnings increase faster than the average full-time employee—from 1950 to 1989 the ratio of instructional-staff salary to the average full-time salary in the U.S. increased by 22 percent (although it sank from 1972 to 1980). Student performance has hardly kept pace with the dramatic increases in resources devoted to public education. While the percentage of students aged 17 at the beginning of the school year who graduated from high school rose 30 percent from 1950 to 1964, it has leveled off since then. In fact, the 1991 percentage is lower than the 1969 peak of 77.1 percent.
Evidence from the National Assessment of Educational Progress and other performance measures shows how poorly served America’s public school students really are. Just five percent of 17-year-old high school students in 1988 could read well enough to understand and use information found in technical materials, literary essays, historical documents, and college-level texts. This percentage has been falling since 1971.
Average Scholastic Aptitude Test scores fell 41 points between 1972 and 1991. Apologists for public education argue that such factors as the percentage of minority students taking the SAT can explain this drop. Not true. Scores for whites have dropped. And the number of kids scoring over 600 on the verbal part of the SAT has fallen by 37 percent since 1972, so the overall decline can’t be blamed merely on mediocre students “watering down” the results.
Only six percent of 11th graders in 1986 could solve multi-step math problems and use basic algebra. Sixty percent did not know whyThe Federalistwas written, 75 percent didn’t know when Lincoln was president, and one in five knew what Reconstructionwas.”
Simply put, Americans are paying more to get dumber kids. PISA results reinforce that America is losing ground in education despite throwing billions of dollars at the issue.Between what kids are taught in school and what they grow up watching on TV, it’s a wonder anyone grows up with any Conservative values. In Sparta kids were 7 before being sent away to be beaten down in training. Liberals begin our kids’ indoctrination a full year or more earlier, and by one of the most corrupt groups in the entire country, our teachers’ unions.
Instead of training them to love and fight for one’s country like Spartans, our kids are being taught that our Founding Fathers were just a bunch of old white guys who owned slaves.
But if you happen to survive the gauntlet of primary and secondary education, the next step is the scam of “Lower Education”. There are over 18 million students enrolled at the nearly 5,000 colleges and universities currently in operation across the United States, and most of these bastions of lower education should give rebates to their graduates.
There are some great colleges in the U.S., and I believe that the top students still are products of the American education system. A college education can be worth pursuing for those in highly technical or scientific fields, or for those wanting
