here's the libs standard. Disparity between grad rates is growingEmail Print Comments 1353Associated Press ORLANDO, Fla. -- A new study finds the disparity between graduation rates for white and black players on NCAA tournament-bound men's basketball teams grew this year. The annual report released Monday by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida shows 45 teams graduated 70 percent or more of their white players. But only 20 teams graduated at least 70 percent of their black players. The report relies on information provided by the NCAA. It uses graduation success rates and not federal graduation rates, which don't account for transfer students. The numbers measure six-year graduation rates for the freshman classes that entered college from the 1999-2000 through 2002-03 school years.

this must kill you comrade. "Schoolchildren will no longer be misled into believing that capitalism and the free market are dirty words and that America has an unjust economic system. Instead, they will learn how the free-enterprise system gave our nation and the world so much that is good for so many people".

I guess you were happy with this. The review of social studies curriculum (covering U.S. government, American history, world history and economics) comes up every 10 years, and 2010 is one of those years. The unelected education "experts" proposed their history revisions, such as eliminating Independence Day, Christopher Columbus, Thomas Edison, Daniel Boone and Neil Armstrong, and replacing Christmas with Diwali. After a public outcry, the SBOE responded with common-sense improvements. Thomas Edison, the world's greatest inventor, will be again included in the narrative of American history Hell Edison was a white guy, can't have that
