Online story: "The study, published this week by the Council of the Great City Schools, found black males are twice as likely to drop out of high school than white males, and only 12 percent of them are proficient in reading by the fourth grade, compared with 38 percent of white males. * "There are a number of schools where poor black boys are doing well," Comer said. "That ought to raise the question of, 'What goes on there that's not going on in other places?' * "If we look at schools that are predominately black, and we look at the achievement of white kids who are in those schools, we find that the white kids don't do well either," Holzman told National Public Radio." -- All these taxpayer paid surveys show the same thing year after year. What's wrong is attitudes within the schools themselves, and the lead problems are lower expectations and political correctness distributed by feel-good liberals who care more for false esteem than results.

No matter what anyone can claim Congressman Bishop 'has done for Columbus/Ft Benning, at best he's one vote of 218 that must agree to pass legislation, it did not justify him diverting tax dollars for the personal benefit of his friends and family.
