Here's an article from 2 years ago that says something along those lines
https://www.baltimoresun.com/education/bs-md-parcc-scores-20170821-story.html#nt=standard-embed

doesn't link to the actual data though, only cites it

relevant quote: `Baltimore City and Baltimore County students scored below the state average. In the city, only 15 percent of students passed the English test and 11.9 percent passed the math.`

Am I mistaken or if your school fails to pass basic proficiency isn't federal funding cut till you bring it back up to snuff?

Couldn't tell you. Though a cynical person might say that it's an excuse to increase federal funding, since obviously they need to throw more money at the problem

I think the tests in question are not federal though

When I went to school we had to take the CAT tests every year, do they still do that. They might be called different thing in different areas, they were basically federal proficiency tests

hmm

In any case, an 88% failure rate on a math test where the hardest thing you'll see is some algebra? I'm actually impressed

That common core crap has really helped matters 😂

ugh

Buahaha.

But those *civilians* can go fuck themselves, I guess

From Wikipedia

They basically confiscate your guns based on any friend/relative claiming you're dangerous, and then it's up to you to prove your innocence after the fact

But as I read it, sorry don't know anything about this topic, it needs to go before a judge.
But seems easily abused

But you don't get to talk to the judge until after they've issued the confiscation

The description there on Wikipedia seems vague on that front (perhaps intentionally so)

ok. Ya that dosn't seem fair

red flag confiscations have already gotten a man killed

They'll use something you've previously done or said on the internet as proof that you're a risk, then confiscate your property without you being able to defend yourself beforehand

How ?

cops kicked down his door without warning

thats how they do it

He resisted

show up early morning before sunrise

How does kicking down your door get you killed

ahh, ok

He resisted because people broke into his home

no knock warrants have never been anything other than a way to get innocent people murdered by cops

^

going into the wrong homes

yup

cops being killed by people defending their lives

or so they think

or so they *are* ?

drug dealing snitches giving up random addresses hoping the cops find drugs

innocent person thinks he's being robbed

SWAT team sees gun in hand, shoots first
