In many cases. In some cases race seems to have nothing to do with it.

Money does.

LA school district educates a lot of poor, idiotic parent's children. kids turn into their parents. these kids are just idiots in the making and the government is too afraid to offend people these days.

It's public schooling... can't expect much from it anyway. Even if they have nice shiny macs and great gym equipment, they are all learning irrelevant things. Take a 6th grade canadian, and a 6th grade american student and have them compare...
