The Houston Scholl Disctrict Miracle Lie

Well, ya know how the Right Wingers are always quoting how incredible Bush's School plans in Texas were? A predominantly minority school with Zero Drop outs? Yeah..

Big Lie

There was even an accounting scam to deal with underperforming students who stay in school. A few years ago McNeil looked at one of Paige’s miracle high schools and quickly realized the numbers made no sense. There were 3,000 students enrolled. But only 296 kids took the 10th-grade standardized test. Barring the most peculiar fertility rates in this small corner of southeast Houston, 700 or 750 kids should have taken the test. Where were the lost kids?

Gotta love the right wing lies. Well, now that I've balanced the board, I'm off to bed.
