Reading proficiency is a racist concept.

Good one, KF.

KF, can you look at HB 976. Be sure to copy text to word so you can see exactly what was removed/changed. Something seems fishy. funds no longer allocated equally.... This language was removed: "The State Treasurer and the Executive Director of the Department of Finance and Administration shall review and approve the investment companies and investment trusts in which funds invested under paragraph (d) of this section may be invested."

Unexpended funds in the Municipal Revolving Fund at the end of a fiscal year shall not lapse into the State General Fund but shall remain in the fund for use under this section..…and removed the part about “the provisions of this subsection shall not be applicable until the Working Cash Stabilization Fund, created in Section 27 103 203, balance has reached a level of funding that is seven and one half percent (7 1/2%) of the General Fund appropriations for such fiscal year.”

The Caucus' primary obligation is to be on the alert for anything that *might* impact minorities. Not saying that's a bad thing, just that it's true. They no doubt believe this would have been a gateway to holding black students back, not a sign of anybody being 'against education'. Just my opinion.

No doubt the LBC wants to move them through the system as soon as possible to keep the roster of too young parents stocked and the pipeline of out-of-wedlock births full.

Let's just give everyone high school diplomas in the third grade. I think that's about the level they're at now, anyway.

Reading proficiency should already be one part of being promoted to the next grade.

I think some are tired of the numerous programs.

shame it takes legislation to get SDE to do its job! best early childhood education bill this session - can't follow the money in the other bill but you can bet very little will end up in service to children.

Not only does the LBC favor what we used to call 'social promotions', but they also want all Mississippi children in state funded programs from age three as a form of babysitting. More sucking at the gubment tit. As if Head Start were not enough, they want it institutionalized and at the responsibility of the government. To hell with the cost or the absence of any proof that any of it will serve us well. Cradle to Grave. Pass 'em on. Then give them a college grant and mandated diploomah.

How great that something was just posted something from Forest Thigpen on why PreK should not be funded, and no one can comment on it.
I would think Forest is man enough to handle the comments if he thinks he's that right about it.

It is a paid placement 3:59 PM. You could purchase your own space and respond.

If it were a paid placement, it would say so. I've never seen something like that posted that allowed no comment unless there was a footnote stating it was a 'paid advertisement'. This is news, not a friggin' advertisement, 5:08. Who the hell would need to purchase space on this blog to reply to a news article?

Did you read the very bottom Shadow?

"The Mississippi Center for Public Policy purchased distribution rights on Jackson Jambalaya."

That means paid placement.

Once again Shadow puts his lack of reading comprehension on full display for everyone to see.

I screwed up, meant to allow comments on that other post, MCPP said I could. I generally don't allow them on sponsored posts.

I'll admit I didn't see the footnote. I'll also admit Kingfish screwed up.

Comments are now allowed on that other post.

SF still can't read, comprehend, or write sensibly.

Film at 11.

YAWN ... ZZZZZzzzzz ... SNNOORRREEEE
