Public government-run schools nationwide are failing to properly educate students…. But today’s headlines are about pay and benefit increases, class size and teacher strikes. New Census Bureau data released last month revealed a shocking reality… California – the most populous state in the nation – has the least educated K-12 students.

That means nearly half of all students aren’t passing. …
