I wonder why. Teachers of working class black males today are increasingly limited in what they are allowed to teach. No, left behind, created under Bush and made even worse under Obama, is an entirely corporate agenda designed to prevent any discussion at all of how power really works in America.

To isolate skin color from questions of the increasing economic hegemony of Wall Street will only make problems worse.

Professionals involved in the dumbing down of America, be it by means of FOX, MSNBC or No child Left Behind are obeying an invisible but clearly understood mandate: play the “social issues” and never talk about the money. This goes from the news-desk, to the principals desk to the Oval Office.
