For more than 40 years, Americans have spent innumerable tax dollars on education in big city schools – and got frighteningly bad results. This is a disaster for the lives of the young people in these schools, who enter adulthood without skills and knowledge to get good jobs and be good citizens.
Taxpayers get robbed through educational fraud, and children are crippled through educational incompetence.
This disaster is vividly explained in a stunning new book by Fox45 Baltimore Reporter Chris Papst titled “Failure Factory.” It is based on eight years of investigative reporting into Baltimore City Schools – one of the most expensive, destructive, and failure-dominated school systems in the country. I spoke with Papst on my latest episode of Newt’s World.
