 I live in a town which could be the worst example of public education in the nation.

This district was only fully integrated in 1983.
Needless to say, this town is behind the times.
Needless to say, 'race' is the factor in every public decision.
I come from a town in which 70% of the Blacks have at least an Associates degree, 30% have at least a Bachelors and twenty percent have least a Masters.
But the town in which I currently live is one of the most under-educated in the state.
If the overall education level of the city's residents is this low, imagine how poorly Blacks here are doing.
(And this in a town which has a Black-run school board which is more focused on race than it is with the education of it's kids.)

    These second and third line inheritors of the civil rights movement have done more damage in three generations than all the preceding generations of James Crow combined....,

    The link has expired but when a story about poorly performing schools in a small southeast Texas town make the New York Times things must really suck here.
