>> Is it true that in Arkansas, most kids quit school at age 8? :-)

We hold our own, a little higher than the national average. Unlike NY, CA, WA, OR, FL, DC and many others. The shocking thing -- which KOAN ought to have a look at -- is the difference between white and black. SEE SECOND CHART.



Nationwide, 13 percentage point fewer blacks graduate than whites.

AR - 10 points
CA - 17 points
CT - 15 points
DC - 19 points
GA - 8 points
IL - 15 points
MA - 14 points (supposedly the best education in the country. IF YOU'RE WHITE).
NY - 22 points
MN - 25 points

WHY ARE SOME OF THESE STATES NOT EDUCATING THEIR BLACK CHILDREN? WTF is the problem here, KOAN?

You want to talk about racism. Shit.
