In this opinion piece, Colleston Morgan Jr., Executive Director of City Forward Collective, issues a sharp critique of the educational crisis in Milwaukee following dismal NAEP results. He highlights that nine out of ten Black fourth-graders in Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) lack basic math skills, such as identifying even and odd numbers. Morgan argues that despite record funding exceeding $1.5 billion, the district continues to fail its students while state leaders “gaslight” the public by lowering expectations. He calls for urgent, bold leadership and a move away from “Milwaukee nice” deflection to prioritize the academic success of the city’s children.
