It is interesting to me how fake statistics and urban legends become political facts. The latest of these is from our Democratic gubernatorial candidates claiming Virginia uses 3rd grade test scores to plan for prisons. It is the perfect sound bite for a big government politician who wants to control more of our money and pour it into government programs. Nevermind the actual claim is completely bogus since Virginia plans for prisons with arrest and conviction trends over the past 6 years. Let’s not even go down the road of how public schools may be a part of the problem and not the solution. These dangerous assertions need to stop and the politicians who unapologetically continue to speak these lies need to be challenged.
