It reported that "for 10 years, hundreds of Atlanta public school teachers and principals changed answers on state tests in one of the largest cheating scandals in U.S. history." More than three-quarters of the 56 Atlanta schools investigated had cheated on the National Assessment of Educational Progress test, sometimes called the national report card.

There were structural factors at play. People weren't poor because they made bad decisions. They were poor because our society creates poverty." Who made that statement and where it was made is not important at all, but its corrosive effects on the minds of black people, particularly black youths, are devastating.

Singer Kid Rock felt the same sense of pride many Americans of both political parties felt when Sen. Barack Obama became this country's first black president.

Now, Kid Rock wants results. And he's not seeing enough to justify a second term for Obama. It's why he's currently campaigning on behalf of the GOP's presidential ticket.
