Democrat policies in action, Baltimore edition
Many large cities in the U.S. are controlled by democrats, and have been for decades. A well known feature of those democrat controlled cities is high crime. Baltimore is one great example of that.
In Baltimore, there was a Republican mayor from 1963 to 1967. He had been mayor years before that so he had name recognition, apparently. Prior to that, from 1947 to 1963, it was democrat mayors. Since 1967, democrats have controlled Baltimore. That's 56 years straight of democrat rule!
The last 8 democrat mayors are shown below, including the present democrat mayor at the bottom. Clicking the picture links to the WP page with more info.
You can be sure that the Baltimore City Council has also been dominated by democrats for decades as well. The president of the city council has been a democrat going all the way back to 1923! The current Baltimore City Council is ALL democrats! Most of them were also born in Baltimore.
I'm pointing this out because high crime rates are not the only damage that democrats do. They have also destroyed the education system:
40% of Baltimore City schools had ZERO students proficient in math!!! ZERO!!!!
How do you explain this? Or justify this? How is this not a disqualifier for everyone responsible?? From the article linked in the picture above:
Jason Rodriguez, deputy director of the Baltimore-based non-profit People Empowered by the Struggle, said that the findings were akin to “educational homicide.”
“There is no excuse,” he told Fox Baltimore. “We have a system that’s just running rogue, and it starts at the top.”
“It’s not a funding issue. We’re getting plenty of funding,” said Rodriguez.“I don’t think money is the issue. I think accountability is the issue.”
Dear Mr. Rodriguez, good luck getting anyone held accountable.
The article also notes that this data is only coming out because a source leaked it to the news. The data gets worse than zero students passing too. My bold and italic:
The list of 13 schools includes some of Baltimore’s most well-known high schools, including Patterson High School, Frederick Douglass, and Reginald F. Lewis.
But that’s not the only alarming finding we made. In those 13 high schools, 1,736 students took the test, and 1,295 students, or 74.5%, scored a one out of four. One is the lowest level, meaning those students were not even close to proficient.
Last school year, Baltimore City Schools received $1.6 billion from taxpayers, the most ever. The district also received $799 million in Covid relief funding from the federal government. And still, not a single student tested at 13 City high schools scored proficient on the state math test.
The article goes on to note that back in 2017 there was a similar report, and then as well there were 13 schools with no proficient students.
So what is the moral to the story? It’s pretty easy for me. Again, NO ONE should be voting democrat anywhere!! If you think you have "friends" that are democrats, you are WRONG. With any democrat you think is your “friend”, get them to go look at all of the cities with high crime rates and other problems, and do the same search I did to find out which party has been controlling the government in that city going back decades.
Democrats are destroying this country, and they are NOT your friends!! Note carefully the amount of money spent in Baltimore as well. Democrats constant claims that it's lack of funding are a complete and ridiculous lie.
I'm sure the democrats answer is that math is racist.
P.S. On anything that has any political angle, my new search engine recommendation is Yandex. Yes it is Russian, and the fact that it yields much more relevant results is a sad testament to left wing influence at tech companies.
