the overall premise of this situation should be taken within the context of the set parameters therby justifing the effect subjective in the nucleus of the judicial code of reasoning rendering it compliant to the probability of a logical solution of fundemental judgement of credibility

Here it comes just like we predicted. Ladies and gentlemen, this once again is not a battle over education. This is a battle about racism. And not what you think. This is not a battle over black and white, this is a battle over social status. AKA "Economic Racism." This type of racism has no color lines or boundaries. This type of racism is the wealthy trying to create a permanent underclass of poor people that they can control. The haves vs. the have nots if yo will. Did not the costitution of the United States promise equal rights to all. Come out and tell what this is. The school systems are not equal and we need to make it that way for the people and the sake of our children. No one needs to be out here admitting that one is superior and one is inferior. That is not right to compare the children like that in an academic manor because all of the children have the right to learn and can learn. Now look at the real factor the economics. Now when it comes to the wealthy vs. poor, DUH! There is a difference. However it is not up to our government to provide an outlet to mitigate this kind of injustice no matter what your political affiliation may lie. I said it when this started and I will say it again we are in for the biggest descrimination battle since the sanitation strike of the 1960's.
