I might've missed the write-up in the fish wrap about all the progress being made in the Buffalo schools but a study was released listing the 50 upstate schools with the lowest SAT scores. Buffalo was 4th from the bottom, ahead of only Syracuse, Rochester and Albany. Of course all of these districts are surrounded by school districts on the list of the 50 highest SAT scores among upstate school districts which was released before. As I've said, these districts, controlled as they are by teachers unions run out of Albany and NYC by white suburban Democrats are just one element in decades-long effort by white Democrats to regain and maintain control over the black population that they lost after the Civil War when Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans freed the slaves.
