Big City Progressives Create Small Army of Illiterates

This is not a shock to me. 

It’s an education bombshell.

Nearly 80 percent of New York City high school graduates need to relearn basic skills before they can enter the City University’s community college system.

Ride the New York City subway on a regular basis in the mornings and after 2:30 and you know that NYC schools are churning out large numbers of teenagers ill-equipped for the job market at the very least.  This is a tragedy, but this is what big city liberals have given us - publicly funded, unionized teachers, massive bureaucracy, lowest-common denominator curriculum.  That's the progressive recipe and the result is armies of illiterates.  Good job lefties.
