CLASSIC PHOTO!!


We've got a photo for you today out of Fort Worth, Texas, that SHOULD simultaneously make you laugh, because it's AWESOME and cry for our country and the children who are our future.

At Trimble Tech High School in Fort Worth, a group of seniors were banned from graduation, because they failed the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills test, which makes sure students have basic English and math skills before they graduate.

Some of the students who were banned, and some their parents, staged a protest outside of graduation. And the photo we've got is of a woman who, sadly, makes it very clear why her child DIDN'T pass the TAKS test.
She's holding up a sign that reads, "Let ARE kids walk." That's "are" spelled A-R-E, not O-U-R.
