Tooms' posts are so Dems good, Republicans bad, no one needs to read what he says. Every post is the same. He is like Bagdad Bob in the Iraq war.

I have this image of someone (definitely not Tooms, mods!) setting up a soapbox on a street in democrat San Francisco in democrat California to livestream one of his rants about how great the democrats are, and in the background a bunch of homeless junkies are lying strung out on the sidewalk. One of them wakes up, stumbles over and relieves himself on not-Tooms's shoes, but not-Tooms doesn't notice because the stink of human excrement is already so strong everywhere in the city.

Then as he continues with his Bagdad Bob speech ("the republicans are committing suicide in their tanks! When a bunch of thugs raid the Apple store behind him, and make off with tens of thousands of dollars of gear. There are a group of police outside but they do nothing, partly because the democrat mayor has ordered them not to risk criminals' wellbeing by chasing them, and partly because they don't want to be stabbed, shot, or George Floyded while defending themselves.

Instead the cops approach not-Tooms and arrest him for making a speech on public property without a permit. Not-Tooms protests that it is his First Amendment right, but they don't seem to know what the First Amendment is. As they handcuff him, not-Tooms slips on a patch of human shit and lands facefirst in the yellow river streaming down the street from the junkie who earlier pissed on his shoes.

As the cops pick him up and push him into the squad car, his last action is to scream "Long Live the Democrat Party!

My goodness indeed...kkkk! It that your fancy way off saying I don't know what top and bottom of the illiteracy and literacy rate tables look like.

Spin it any way you want. I think most people know what the bottom and top of a chart looks like, never mind the percentages you care to spin.

Red states like Mississippi and Louisiana are commonly at the bottom illiteracy and literacy rate tables. Period.

I have already debunked this. The literacy rate correlates perfectly with the percentage of white people in the state. The over 90% white limousine liberal states like Vermont and New Hampshire obviously have higher literacy rates than places like Mississippi and Louisiana which are a third black.

The state that has got much worse (in literacy and everything else) is California, courtesy of decades of open borders.

Why the sudden interest in test scores in a particular city?

Do you have an explanation for them? None of your leftist buddies have come up with one.

Remember, the school district in question has the third highest spending per student in the country, so you can't revert to your usual weak fallback position.

No definition of censorship includes the words forcible.

Only the douchiest dem doofus would claim "censorship" for a tweet that wasn't taken down (and is probably still there today), but look the other way when the entire Twitter account of one of America's biggest newspapers is suspended in order to prevent them publicising the Biden crime family laptop story.

Why the sudden interest in test scores in a particular city? Interest in a certain laptop computer or Hillary Klingon's server and emails waning? But wait. KKKarlson has gobs of videos of citizens strolling through Das Kapital. Not interested in classified documents roaming Willy Nilly or impending criminal indictments?

Foxy News and "the big lie" finally bit them in the ass?

Foxy Muse, shows its real colors, as damning emails reveals, from the Dominion Voting Systems law suit court filing, that they once again, are nothing more than the sham and fraudulent news media, we've also known them to be. One without an once of any type of journalistic integrity.

The emails show, that behind closed doors, between executives and their big on-air-pundits, that no matter what, they continue to perpetrate "the Big Lie" and the fake MAGA election claims, that was inevitably more appealing to their ratings and bottom line, than it was to tell the nation, the truth.

Naturally, it wasn't very hard to sell to the gullible masses of QAnon\Repubs\MAGA insurrectionist supporters on the right, as they bought "the Big Lie" ...hook, line and sinker.

That's Foxy Muse, they will always chose lies for the sake of ratings over the truth, every time. I think one politician said it best (or facsimile), "Fox News is nothing more than a state own media company, an extension of the Republican party" (Note: This was while or since Trump took office).

Seriously, folks; sleep well in the knowledge that every kid in Baltimore can tell you what the square root of 8 is inside of five seconds. That hurdle has been surmounted now and forever into the future with the help of that little calculator / selfie device stuffed in their hip pocket.

But if they're fed and believe the America-hating horse shit shoveled down the throats of Faux News viewers and most other winger sources viewers, the country is doomed.

What the moron brigade will do is say that this is all "fake news". That's why it is so easy to be a Repub. If something doesn't conform to your warped worldview, you just scream LŰGENPRESSE at the top of your lungs and the rest of the moron brigade just nods.

Dear God you are a cretin. Asking someone to remove a post, and doing nothing when they refuse, is not censorship.

Censorship is when you forcibly remove a post or prevent someone from publishing something. Like the left did with the Biden crime family laptop corruption scandal, and much more besides.

Just for once in your simple, CNN-watching, public miseducation-brainwashed life, try and engage what few gray cells you possess behind your dull cow eyes.

No definition of censorship includes the words forcible. That is something you came up with in your warped homophopic, xenophobic and misogynistic mind. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dic...ish/censorship or https://www.collinsdictionary.com/di...ish/censorship.

But this is very typical of MAGAworld. So much so that Twitter started keeping a database of requests https://www.rollingstone.com/politic...ip-1234675969/ I wish the above article would have detailed how many requests came from Donnie the Dumbass' administration and how many came from President Biden's administration.

And speaking of "misinformation", more Repugs are suspended from Twitter than Democrats because they spread more BULLSHIT. https://www.newsnationnow.com/busine...-takes-a-look/ But this isn't surprising because most of them believe more bullshit.

Glaring as it maybe, it's only 1st grade students, don't over think it.

Like I said, it's not how you start your schooling, it's how you finish your schooling. The state has some of the best great graduation rates, in the country.

No, it is not only first graders.

https://foxbaltimore.com/news/local/...2-in-new-study

"Among the list of 23 schools, there are 10 high schools, eight elementary schools, three Middle / High schools and two Elementary / Middle schools. And it's important to note, another 20 Baltimore City Schools had just one or two students test proficient in math. ".

Also, why are you talking about Maryland's state graduation rates? This is about Baltimore city.

Democrat-controlled Baltimore city public education receives far higher funding per student than the rest of Maryland (the third highest of any district in the entire country) and yet its results are terrible as we can see.

Again, now that your usual leftist canard of "muh funding" has been proven false, how do you explain this?

Why? If you Google " Top 10 Largest School Districts by Per Pupil Current Spending", that's the first thing that comes up. But if you follow the link on the chart, it will take you here.

That's better...much appreciated!

...

Also don't label people you don't know.

That's literally his thing.

Don't worry though, if enviably, he ends-up calling you the "D-bag" word insult. You won't be the first and you probably won't be last.

My goodness indeed...kkkk! It that your fancy way off saying I don't know what top and bottom of the illiteracy and literacy rate tables look like.

Exactly.

I think most people know what the bottom and top of a chart looks like, never mind the percentages you care to spin.

Yes, that's correct too.

[Spidy]

SPIDY, my goodness, you think that 84% of the population in Mississippi, Louisiana and Nevada is illiterate? No wonder you insist on calling Nevada a swing state instead of a blue state. Those numbers are the % of the population exhibiting "basic prose literacy skills." Or what World Population Review is calling the "literacy rate." Subtract the literacy rate from 100% to get the % of the population that's illiterate, defined, again, as the % of "American adults age 16 and over (that) lack basic prose literacy skills defined as ranging from being fully unable to read to only being able to understand short, commonplace text in English, but nothing more advanced." California and New York are at the top of the list, with only 76.9% and 77.9% respectively exhibiting basic prose literacy skills. Nevada, New Mexico, and Louisiana are in 8th through 10th places.

My goodness indeed...kkkk! It that your fancy way off saying I don't know what top and bottom of the illiteracy and literacy rate tables look like.

Spin it any way you want. I think most people know what the bottom and top of a chart looks like, never mind the percentages you care to spin.

Red states like Mississippi and Louisiana are commonly at the bottom illiteracy and literacy rate tables. Period.

Like I said, it's not how you start your schooling, it's how you finish your schooling. The state has some of the best great graduation rates, in the country.

I don't believe that's correct. From memory, I think that included elementary, middle and high schools. However I'm too lazy to look it up. Maybe you could do me the favor of providing something that says it's only 1st grade students, since I dug up links for Chris' chart.

As to your defense of Maryland and the Baltimore school system, which you make solely because they're blue, Chris is right. Maryland is probably in the top 5 in the nation in advanced degrees and income per capita, because of all the high level, highly paid employees of the federal government, government contractors, and lobbyists and think tanks and the like. Yet still many of the schools are a laughingstock.
