Disparities remain in America's schools - Connecticut Post



In Bridgeport with a population of approximately 147K as of 2012, 39.6% White, 34.6% Black/African American, 4.3% Two or more races, 38.2% Hispanic , shows a 77% minority population in Bridgeport.
If that is true  I question the assumption  made which reports  "Black preschoolers are more likely face
suspension."  Question:  Facing suspension in Pre-School? Facing suspension in Junior High or High School based on the lack of access to advanced math?  How many of the students in this study had learning disabilities upon entering school that either went unnoticed or simply swept under the report card?

Let's be clear the United States is not in the top ranks when it comes to education.  Unequaled funding is a variable in this equation.  Who is going to fight the good fight with this skewed information to insure that the numbers are lowered?

Do You Know Where Satan Currently Resides? Some would say he's in hell, but I beg to differ. For example remember when the members of "heavenly" court came to present themselves before the Lord? Satan was there... Remember God asked Satan where he had been to which he replied, "From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it." Revelation tells us that he will be thrown down to earth... well the phrase "thrown down" strongly suggests from somewhere "above". One would think from the "teachings" that Satan and his angels were thrown out of Heaven waaay back in the beginning - not true, the banishment is a "future" event.

Adversity

   It is good for us to have trials and troubles at times, for they often remind us that we are on probation and ought not to hope in any worldly thing. It is good for us sometimes to suffer contradiction, to be misjudged by men even though we do well and mean well. These things help us to be humble and shield us from vainglory. When to all outward appearances men give us no credit, when they do not think well of us, then we are more inclined to seek God Who sees our hearts. Therefore, a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men. When a man of good will is afflicted, tempted, and tormented by evil thoughts, he realizes clearly that his greatest need is God, without Whom he can do no good. Saddened by his miseries and sufferings, he laments and prays. He wearies of living longer and wishes for death that he might be dissolved and be with Christ. Then he understands fully that perfect security and complete peace cannot be found on ear
