Basically none of this could have happened without the repeal of the Glass-Steagal Act which separated Commercial Banks from investment banking. So here’s my list:

1) Citibank who has spent the last 30 years trying to repeal the Glass-Steagal Act. In 1998 Citi was trying to merger with Travellers which was illegal under the Glass-Steagall Act. The merger was approved in 1998. Which was by the way illegal since the repeal of Glass-Steagal didn’t happen until Nov of 1999.

2) Senator Phil Gramm (R), the guy who just recently called americans a bunch of whiners. Actually Phil should be numero uno, considering his role in this mess.

3)Senators Leach and Biley (R)
The Gramm-Leach-Biley Act

All of the above were responsible for the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act.

4)The Republican Congress in power at the time

5)President Bill Clinton who threatened to veto the bill until it was rewritten so minorities and farmers could get screwed too.

6) Clintons Secretary of the Treasury Robert Rubin who resigned just days before the Gramm-Leach-Biley act and went to work for Citigroup for $40 mil. By the way he still works for Citigroup today.

7)President Bush

8)Alan Greenspan

9) lobbyists

10) the Fed

Nobody is forcing anybody’s child into sex education classes without parental permission. Did you guys miss that part?

I’m certain that parents have the opportunity to review the material if they are concerned. That is usually how it works. If you ask me its just a bunch of yackity smakity over nothing and pandering to the far right instead discussing the important issues.

While I actually tend to mostly agree with jonnycsd. I’m not sure however how even the best of parents could possibly keep their children out of all situations where they could possibly be preyed upon.

Garbage, I said they were cheating and provided you proof. They flat out changed students grades. We aren’t talking about grade inflation. API scores have nothing to do with whether they changed students grades.

Did you miss this part? This could explain the API scores.

“Nearly three years ago, an academic study compared Preuss students with students who had applied for admittance there, but missed out in the school lottery. Based on test scores and grades, the study found no difference between the groups.”

Your willingness to make excuses for their dishonesty doesn’t say much for you.

You asked for proof and I gave it. Yet you are making allegations with no proof whatsoever. Would I tell you that public teachers are not being pressured to teach to the test? Hell no. And I certainly wouldn’t claim there isn’t any corruption in the district. I can tell you I haven’t experienced it and I have 3 children who have been through the SDUSD. Not one of my children has received a grade they didn’t earn.

If private schools dealt with the same kinds of issues, students and regulations you might have a point but they don’t. So what you are doing is comparing apples to oranges so to speak. Private schools are not subject to many as many state and federal regulations as public schools. Curriculum in public schools is mandated by the state. With private schools you have apply and be accepted. Also most private schools don’t have special education. Their teachers don’t have to be certified and they pay them a whole lot less. I could go on (and on)but I think I’ve made my point. I would think that private schools could get by on a whole lot less money than $8k.
