Baltimore City Schools: 41% of high school students earn below 1.0 GPA
I know that politics are to be avoided on HN but many articles Fox News requires crossing the line into talking-about-politics territory.  Faux News’s Tea-party-Republican agenda is to defund education and to selectively report on cases that support that agenda. There’s a reasonable likely-hood they could be reporting falsities in the place of facts or selectively leaving out the details why the education is so poor there. Nihilistically and pessimistically, ignorance is profitable, bad-politician-friendly, and only supports some far-right cognitive biases. Optimistically though, most people are politically moderate, smart, and well educated. As a moderate and as someone outside of Baltimore, my main takeaway is that it probably sucks to start a family in Baltimore — either by the bad education or by being a city with a large Fox News presence.<p>I’m kidding, at least Fox News has the best looking news anchors and better eye candy than every other channel except Sports Illustrated.
