It’s behind a paywall, but their demands are so ridiculous that the report had to either be reposted from the Onion, or Chicago “teachers” have to be as dumb as bricks.

Seeing that 80% of Chicago “students” in the 8th grade can’t read yet, I side with Chicago “teachers” being dumb as bricks.

Aren't Democrat policies just lovely?

How dumb must a person be to actually believe that stat? Go ahead, show us your source. My guess is that it is you who struggles with basic reading comprehension and that there isn’t a single reputable source making that absurd claim.

Even though we've dumbed down standardized testing only approximately 20% of Chicago Public School students can read at grade level, making them functionally illiterate. This number is brought up by the white and Asian students' 40+% levels.

https://www.usnews.com/education/k12/illinois/districts/city-of-chicago-sd-299-110570

"The student body at the schools served by Chicago Public Schools is 10.9% White, 35.8% Black, 4.4% Asian or Asian/Pacific Islander, 46.5% Hispanic/Latino, 0.3% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.1% Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander."

It's really not that hard to get a feel for this unless you are truly an idiot, which a couple people that post here keep proving that they truly are...

Absolutely not. “Functional illiteracy” does not mean one cannot read at their grade level. Your attempt to try and conflate those two different things either shows you to be a blatant liar or truly are as dumb as you’ve previously shown to be at times.

If I am a 10th grader yet can only read at a 7th grader’s level, does that mean that I am “functionally illiterate”? Of course not.

Those are two entirely different things, and your own post shows that what I said about Buffalo’s post was correct: what he was claiming is entirely false and a result of horrible reading comprehension.

Hell, KYJelly, your own graph shows that about three times the number quoted either exceeded, met, or approached their grade level literacy.

 

[Rock98Dog]

Yeah, rifle won that argument when the original statement was poorly worded. Saw that one coming.

However, looking at that chart, there are 41% of blacks in Chicago schools that pretty much can’t read. You have to be pretty damn stupid to be in that bottom category. That’s window licker level.

My “source” is article that says only 21% of Chicago students in the 8th grade are “proficient readers”. Take that however you want. Like I said, it is behind a paywall.

If you would like me to rephrase it to satisfy the grammar police, then, according to the article, 79% of Chicago students in the 8th are NOT proficient in reading. Those are our future Doctors, Dentists, Structural Engineers, Airplane Pilots etc, etc, etc based on the Woke Left Wing DEI doctrines that are being shoved down our throats.

No wonder you guys want to dummy down the tests for Doctors, Lawyers, and Pilots. And no wonder why I am going to look for a White or Asian Doctor that had to be the elite of the elite to get into Medical School over some Inner City or Illegal Minority Medical School Applicant.

 

[30CAT]

Sadly, it affects blacks the most. Even sadder, too many black folks think Democrats are for black people the most. All they want from black folks are votes. Empty promises, for votes.

They want to keep all, but especially minorities dependent on government.

Democrats have had the black folks' vote for decades and look at where it has gotten them.

Democrats, their policies and their bleaters are destroying our country.

 

[riflearm2]

My “source” is article that says only 21% of Chicago students in the 8th grade are “proficient readers”. Take that however you want.

I'll take it to mean exactly what it says: that about 1/5 of Chicago 8th graders read above average or higher than their grade level. Do you know what "proficient" means, moron?

So you turned 21% being very good at reading at their level (or above) and turned it into meaning that "80% of Chicago students in the 8th grade can't read yet." Fvck me. Do you not realize how ironic it is that you're trying to fault the reading ability of others while you absolutely fvcked up basic reading comprehension yourself?

 

[riflearm2]

And no wonder why I am going to look for a White or Asian Doctor that had to be the elite of the elite to get into Medical School over some Inner City or Illegal Minority Medical School Applicant.

I suggest finding an average 8th grade student to help you do that. Based on your inability to comprehend basic reading, you'll surely fvck up your doctor search.

Yeah, if not for those damn Democrats, imagine how many major civil rights act wouldn't have been passed. Damn Democrats enacting and passing those bills.

Which of those regions aligns with the historical voting of or against civil rights acts?

There was nothing to win and while it was poorly worded in essence it's the truth. The majority of the 8th grade students in Chicago are functionally illiterate for their age and education level. And it's even worse in Detroit and Baltimore.

Remember when the unnamed teacher released these Baltimore test scores?

77% tested at Baltimore High school read at elementary level, some at kindergarten level

BALTIMORE (WBFF) — A Baltimore City teacher came forward with devastating information that showed 77% of students tested at one high school are reading at an elementary school level. The teacher works at Patterson High School, one of the largest high schools in Baltimore with a 61% graduation...

foxbaltimore.com

"In reading, 628 Patterson High School students took the test. Out of those students, 484 of them, or 77%, tested at an elementary school reading level. That includes 71 high school students who were reading at a kindergarten level and 88 students reading at a first-grade level. Another 45 were reading at a second-grade level. Just 12 students tested at Patterson High School, were reading at grade level, which comes out to just 1.9%."

Remember - these are basic reading levels for their age and not advanced reading levels. Worse yet US IQ scores are trending down.

As IQ scores decline in the US, experts blame the rise of tech— how stupid is your state?

Do all Americans go through a process of dumbening?

nypost.com

"California, for example, ranked all the way down at no. 36, with an average score of 97.1.

New Yorkers shouldn’t gloat — the Empire State also found itself in the bottom 50 with an average score of 98.4, below states like Kentucky."

It’s not the truth, moron. He said 80% of Chicago 8th graders cant’t read. There is nothing even remotely true about that regardless of how many times you want to move the goalposts, liar.

It's really not that hard to get a feel for this unless you are truly an idiot, which a couple people that post here keep proving that they truly are...

You’re the idiot. Trying to defend outright fallacies is no way to get people to finally think that you’re intelligent.

The Literacy Project defines functional literacy as reading above a 5th grade level. I think it's safe to say the majority of Chicago 8th graders don't read above a 5th grade level.

Literacy Project Foundation – Believe – Dream – Soar

literacyproj.org

Currently, 45 million Americans are functionally illiterate and cannot read above a fifth-grade level

Functional illiteracy - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Functional illiteracy consists of reading and writing skills that are inadequate "to manage daily living and employment tasks that require reading skills beyond a basic level".[1]

About 70% of adults in the U.S. prison system read at or below the fourth-grade level, according to the 2003 National Adult Literacy Survey, noting that a "link between academic failure and delinquency, violence and crime is welded to reading failure."[9]

85% of US juvenile inmates are functionally illiterate[8]

Why do you always post a bunch of bullshit that has nothing to do with the point(s) being argued? It’s always your move when you’ve lost, and most of what you just posted is the same.

Based on quick mental math (don’t try it, it’s beyond your ability), about 45% of public school Chicago 8th graders can read at least at a fifth grade level according to your graph. Nearly 20% of Chicago students are in private schools, so it’s fair to say that the 5th grade reading level for 8th graders is well over half, which makes your most recent claim also wrong.

More, even if you say it’s 45% (or the more accurate 60%) that can read at at least a 5th grade level, how does that make Buffalo’s claim even remotely accurate, which you’ve doubled-down on?

Civil rights act of 1964? Republicans got it passed, with more Democrats voting against it. Democrats are the party of slavery and the KKK.

74% of Democrats voted against the civil rights act of 1964.

Why wasnt the Civil Rights Act of 1964 the Civil Rights Act of 1963, passed while Kennedy was still alive?

Oh, it was because House Democrat Howard Smith, chairman of the rules committee vowed to keep it locked up forever. He was a big segregationist.

When they finally got it out of the rules committee by threatening the rare use of a discharge motion, the bill passed the House and went to the Senate. However, there was another problem. The chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee was another racist Democrat, James Eastland, so the bill would never clear his committee and make it to a vote. So they bent the rules by not having a second reading of the bill to avoid it having to pass through the normal channel of the Judiciary Committee.

After all that it makes it to the Senate floor where Robert Byrd and his racist democrat buddies proceed to filibuster for 72 days. Georgia Democrat Senator Richard Russell declared “we will resist to the bitter end any bill that would bring civil equality and intermingling of the races”.

Senate democrat Stom Thurman likened the bill to the “Reconstruction proposals of the radical Republican majorities “ after the civil war.

So all the opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 came from Democrats. Democrats have always hated black people, it’s why democrats started the KKK.

Democrats have a bad history in that regard. Many of us are familiar with folks like Robert Byrd. Mush Brains has a bad history in that regard as well.


They use blacks for politcal gain. It does them no good for blacks to do better economically or in society. Rural appalachia used to be somewhat similiar in areas. Vote for the Dems to get the scraps and handouts. Then, you owe them. If black did better they would qeustion things and move on. People like Mush Brain use them for poltical gain, read his past.

They are doing it with Muslims now.

74% of Democrats voted against the civil rights act of 1964.

Look up "Dixiecrats," who they were, what they stood for, and where they went after the Democrats wrote and approved the Act. Then, explain why they almost all eventually became Republicans.

I'll give Crispy Lips a pass since he hasn't been here all of the years. You? You don't get a pass, as I have discussed this at least 10 different times over the years. I believe one of the last time included links from National Geographic and Time stating exactly what I had been arguing on here for decades.

Yes, there were a substantial number of Democrats who didn't support it, just as there were Republicans. Where were all of those Democrats who opposed it from? I believe all of them, except for one, were in the south. It's why Dixiecrats came about as a party - because those southern politicians didn't support segregation. And what happened to all of those Dixiecrats? Almost all of them joined the Republican Party, as the Republican Party aligned with their racist views more than what the Democrat Party accepted.

Here is an easy-to-read map of which state Senators supported it. What do you notice? Almost all of the opposition was from the south, while the north overwhelmingly supported it. Now, tell me which party rules the north and which party rules the south now? That's not a coincidence. The current division by state is rooted almost entirely based on civil rights legislation of this period:




Great job listing names of southern Democrats who voted against it. Care to mention where some of those politicians you named ended up as a party home? Doh!

"How many Democrats voted for the Civil Rights Act 1964?

Democrats split their vote 152 (61%) to 96 (39%) while Republicans split theirs 138 (80%) to 34 (20%). The no vote consisted of 74% Democrats. Clearly, the 1964 Civil Rights Act could not have been passed without the leadership of Republicans such as Everett Dirksen and the votes of Republicans."
