Uncovering a Lie at the Broad Superintendents Academy
I was looking at the Broad Superintendents Academy propaganda and the site makes the claim that 2/3 of jobs require a college education. There are other lies there too, but they involve interpretation. When you say 70% of 8th graders can't read on grade level, it all depends on your definition of "grade level," a chimera that doesn't even exist.
But the 2/3 of jobs assertion is an out and out lie. No interpretation neeeded. Maybe when you're as wealthy as Eli Broad, you feel entitled to make up statistics. And if you check out the faculty and the speakers at the Broad Superintendents Academy, you'll see why it's no surprise that lies are promoted and perpetuated.
This employment factoid is very easy to expose. So why doesn't anyone in the media call Broad on this one?
