The Republican governor of Mississippi told a symposium on Tuesday that America?s education troubles began when women left their homemaker?s role and entered the workplace in large numbers.
During a Washington Post Live panel, Gov. Phil Bryant was asked why reading levels at the end of the third grade have become ?so mediocre.?
?I think both parents started working:?The mom got into the workplace,? Bryant replied.
The governor, realizing his remarks would become controversial, quickly qualified by saying that ?both parents are so pressured? in today?s society, and noted that other countries have invested in basic education at a level that exceeds that of the United States.
In the new film ?Inequality for All,? being shown this week at the Seattle International Film Festival, ex-U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich argues that women HAD to enter the workplace in the 1970?s, as the real income of middle class families began to fall and two incomes were needed to make ends meet.
According to the national Science and Engineering Readiness Index, released last year, Mississippi ranked dead last among the 50 states in preparing its students in mathematics and science.? The scores of Mississippi students, in math and science proficiency, have trailed the 49 other states as well.
