More "progressive" schools in the toilet

Question. Can you guess what party runs this school district and community?
Clayton County schools have lost accreditation. The 50,000-student school system becomes the first in the nation to lose accreditation in 40 years, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools announced today.

The ruling confirms the worst fears of Clayton’s 271,000 residents.

Clayton County Commission Chairman Eldrin Bell, who was in the meeting at SACS headquarters in Decatur when the announcement came, confirmed the loss of accreditation.

“I’m disappointed. I think we still have a window of hope because there is an appeal process,” he said.

Bell said he summoned the committee of citizens who helped the school district when it was on probation five years ago.

“I cannot allow this to happen. We are going to step back up to the plate to reassure our community that there is hope and we care about our children.”

No accreditation means students will have a tougher time getting into some colleges and universities. They may also have difficulty obtaining scholarships.

If your answer is democrats, you would be correct.

What's so "progressive" about shitty schools?
