One Father Tries


"Van-Ness Crawford remembers the moment he knew his sons have no business attending public school. It was when his boy Joshua told him the teacher cursed and called him a dummy.

"My son said, 'Dad, I don't understand this school. When the teacher decides to teach something, she uses profanity and tells us how stupid we are.' " Crawford was telling me yesterday."

Now, Crawford wants to take matters into his own hands. Not only for his family. But for more than 60,000 students - the vast majority of them poor and minority - attending 95 rotten Jersey schools, the worst of which have failure rates of 87 percent in standardized English tests. And a 90 percent failure rate in math."

87% fail English. 90% fail math. Is it then any wonder they go on to kill you, rape your wife, then set fire to whats left? We MUST break the stranglehold teacher's unions have on the country. And soon. Before they dump more of these hoodlums in training into the population.
