CHICAGO — Pro-Palestinian — pro-Hamas! — protesters-slash-agitators flooded the outskirts of the Democrat National Convention in Chicago, demanding Democrats stop supporting Israel; legalize all the illegals; open borders wider for more; legalize abortion-on-demand, tax-paid, too; decrease funding for police — or, as the agitators screamed in bullhorns in the face of police, the “piggy, piggy” cops — and oh, yes, recognize rights for the LGBTQ crowd. Welcome to the world of Democrat-run public education. “From the rivers to the sea, Palestine will be free” — yet nobody knows what river, what sea.
Nobody can place Palestine on a map. Nobody can explain what a Palestinian is, historically speaking. But “Palestine will live forever,” they promise.
And speaking of promises — this is what Democrats put on their webpage as a party platform: “Providing a world-class education in every ZIP code.” Yikes. Democrats have had their run of public education for decades now.
And America is feeling the results — or, more to the truth, America is reeling from the results. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Program for International Student Assessment of 15-year-old students around the world, the United States “placed 16th out of 81 countries in science” in 2022 and “much worse in math, ranking 34th.” That’s just one test.
That’s just one testing agency. Foundation for Economic Education the average Scholastic .
