I'm amazed at O'Malley. I know the "conventional wisdom" these days is that the judiciary branch is worthless and out of touch, but I take note when a judge says discrimination has existed in this manner for 60 years. He's got a HUGE chip on shoulder to think this is bigotry about Baltimore City. By its nature, its not a bad place...BUT..<BR/><BR/>76% of black males do not graduate high school (you learn this stat in the beginning of the MUST SEE movie Boys of Baraka, and.....<BR/><BR/>from the Center for American Progress: "By the fourth grade, low-income students read about three grade levels behind non-poor students."<BR/><BR/>Although I grew up in the suburbs, the people I know that grew up in the city -- black, white, poor, and not-so-poor -- not ONE of them went to public school in Baltimore. <BR/><BR/><BR/>O'Malley is insane to think that its just fine to be a poor, minority, living in a drug infested neighborhood in this city. The bigotry exists in denying these people a real chance at life because it might hurt your shot at governor.<BR/><BR/>For more serious discussion about low income children, children who are often neglected by many conservative AND liberal commmentators .... www.dailyhowler.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
