Expecting the same results or just not expecting?

“With minority students continuing to lag in educational achievement, the federal government has targeted the nation’s second largest public school system for wide-ranging reforms.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education announced that, after a 19-month civil rights investigation, they found that the Los Angeles Unified School District was failing to provide equal education to English-learners and Black students. In turn, this systemic failure has resulted in widespread academic disparities in the nation’s second largest school district, they said.
In the district, only 32 percent of Black students ranked as proficient in English and 9 percent in math, while only 5 percent of high school English language learners ranked as proficient in the two subjects, according to the schools’ 2009-10 report card.”
Thegrio.com recently asked the following question: “Grio Fam – If you had to vote Republican, which of these candidates would get your vote?”
Here are some of those responses:
NONE!
…NEITHER ONE OF’EM……
Would never vote Republican!
I wouldn’t vote…that’s the truth.
I would write my name in!!!!!
Couldn’t pay me enough to vote for any of them.
Grio, that’s like asking me..If u had to be assassinated today, which weapon would u choose…a AK-47, Smith & Wesson, sawed off double barrel shot gun or a glock….NOW ASK ME AGAIN.
I’d move to Canada before I wasted a vote on any of these f*cktards!
I’d rather cut off my arm. Please don’t play. How much self hate do you have to have
There are some people who will never change and prefer the status quo. Even if they live right in the middle of it.
On the flip, I recently addressed the assertion made by a leader in the Tea Party movement here in Georgia that party does not matter. When I asked him several times how many Democrats are they supporting, he said that there were none worth supporting.
I have been a Philadelphia Eagles fan since I was a child. Unfortunately, the team sucks most seasons and will always find a way to screw up a half decent run to the Super Bowl. But at the end of the day, those are my boys, and I just can’t bring myself to parting ways with them. Too much history.
No matter how many times people say they want change in politics, most people will never leave their home team.
