Review Icon cncdan reviewed Youngstown City Schools in Miscellaneous Miscellaneous Politics:
Youngstown City Schools are financially bankrupt and have been rated by the state to be in academic emergency. Every single year the number of students decline, resulting in less state funding. The state provides funding to the school districts on a per student basis. This declining funding has resulted in layoffs of teachers and support staff. The district has a bloated administration, with far too many upper-level management positions. Of course the teachers, custodians, bus drivers, and everyone else excluding management are represented by labor unions. Wages and salaries are far above market equilibrium. The curriculum lags behind neighboring districts by 2 or 3 years. Instead of trying to improve teacher performance, they blame all of the district's problems on charter schools and open enrollment. The open enrollment policy results in several thousand Youngstown students going to other local schools, and very few or no students coming to Youngstown Schools from other districts. To be fair, the local charter schools performance is no better than the Youngstown public schools, with most of them in academic emergency as well. Parents who send their kids to Youngstown City Schools have little regard for how their children will turn out. The dropout and teen pregnancy rates are among the highest in the state. The schools are full of young thugs and teenage gang members. Violence in the high schools is an everyday occurrence. Your child will learn how to speak and act like a "hoodrat." Your daughter will learn how to have promiscuous sex. Sending your children to the Youngstown City School District is tantamount to not caring what happens to them. The state gave the district millions of dollars to build new schools, thinking that building new buildings would solve every problem. It has solved none. The best solution to the multiple problems would be to dissolve the district and allocate all of its students and assets to surrounding districts.

Review Icon Loerke reviewed Texas Governor Rick Perry recently signed legislation requiring parental consent for minors to obtain an abortion and inked his signature to a gay marriage ban at a church. Do you feel that this is appropriate behavior for a public official? in Debate Corner:
Not surprising to see this kind of political posturing from Perry. I suppose the illiterates who voted for the gay marriage ban should have read that law more carefully because it effectively ended ALL marriages performed in Texas. Karma is a bitch, dumbass!

With Tim Pawlenty as President and Al Franken as Senate Majority Leader Minnesota will finally wield the power to run the nation that it has long deserved.
