I found an article written by Bill O’Reilly about how former President Bill Clinton wanted to deal with the issues of racism within public schools. According to the National Assesment of Educational Progress, “60 percent of poor children who attended the fourth grade last year can barely read. They achieved a “below basic” score on standardized tests. For black fourth-graders, the results are even worse: 63 percent of them scored “below basic” (O’Reilly pg.1). O’Reillly questions if Clintons methods of improvement actaully improved anything. Millions of tax payers dollars went to these causes, learning better and the ”strive higher and acquire academic skills that would assure their futures” (O’Reilly, pg. 1), and there is nothing to show for it currently. Many minority students withing the inner city public schools are struggling to get even the most basic of education, even with help of the president.
