School Tech Connect: Nothing Is Ever True...

School Tech Connect: Nothing Is Ever True...:


Nothing Is Ever True...

I rarely get in the car, but I did yesterday, and flipped on the radio and heard the Diminutive Prevaricator talking about how wonderful it is that fewer people have been getting shot to death over in Englewood.

Chicago is burning down with gun violence, and there are predictable parallels between the lies that are told about education to with the lies that are told about public safety. The lies are propped on data-worship, which as you know is a dangerous thing in the hands of dishonest people.

I hate to link to the right-wing police blogs, but if you're going to follow the unfolding crime catastrophe here in our city, you have to. Here, the brilliantly snarky Second City Cop re-tells the numbers about the crime violence in Englewood.
