Essex County College graduates a whopping 5% of their 100% taxpayer-subsidized students

Because their main job appears to be giving your kids the education the billions of dollars we throw at the Abbott districts doesn't give them.

Newark receives more than $672 million of our tax dollars in education funding. East Orange garners $170 million, and Irvington gets $106 million. Add in $63 million for the City of Orange and that's more than a billion dollars a year to subsidize a public school system which graduates a crop of students who are utterly unprepared for the rigors of community college.

95 out of 100 kids who enroll in ECC fail to graduate.

Your Tax Dollars At Work. Or so the educrats would like you to believe.

You know, Mark Zuckerberg rode into Newark with a check for $100 million dollars and they gave him a parade. But the taxpayers of Essex County pony up ten times that much year after year and we don't get so much as a card saying "kiss my ass." And why not? Because if you question how the teachers union spends your money you're a racist. Or anti-teacher. Or an anti-teacher racist.

But to my mind, for a billion dollars a year those kids ought to be enrolling in Harvard instead of ECC's Remedial Reading for Rejects. Of course the educrats will disagree. They've got charts, and statistics, and studies, and excuses. Lots and lots of excuses.

But it all boils down to one thing. Send more money. Send lots and lots and lots of money. Then send some more. Because all the money we've already dumped into their toilets has worked out so well already, hasn't it?
