The attempted rape of public education in SC continues with every politically motivated attack bought and paid for by SCRG and Howie’s other carpetbuggers.

These attacks ignore the real issues facing education in SC. They ignore the “minimally adequate” standard; by that pathetic standard SC schools are doing great. They ignore poverty and related social problems that carpetbugggers can’t imagine. They ignore funding problems. They ignore the latent racism that still haunts society. Worst of all they ignore the fact the voucher scam will leave behind the children who need help the most.

And they defiantly ignore the fact that vouchers are dead in SC. The voters and the Legislature have seen through the voucher scam. Enjoy the baggies of money from the carpetbuggers while it lasts, sic(k) willie.

And private school vouchers are the answer.

Except what if our independent schools ALSO scored among the lowest in the nation on the SAT? What if they weren’t just near the bottom but 50th out of 51?

Guess what — they are. Thank God for Alaska, the only state with independent schools that score lower than ours.

Yes, and unfortunately, the same is true for SC private school students. It must be in the water down here.
