Prince George’s County, MD is home to 7 out of the 10 richest African American communities in the United States. More African American wealth is gathered in the county than anywhere else in the US. It is also home to the best educated in the nation as well.
So it came as a shock when Maryland’s Governor, Larry Hogan, requested an investigation into data showing increased graduation rates in the county. The governor claims that grades and credit counts are being altered to increase the rate.
Perhaps Governor Hogan should turn his attention to Carroll County, first in the state in graduation rates but with a troubling rise in crime. But he probably won’t, given that the 91% white county voted for him in the 2012 election.

Why does one assume an investigation is bad? Appears the Gov wants someone to look into the graduation rates of a few high schools. How is that an attack on a whole community? If someone in the county has no one in high school, then why would it affect them? Misleading headlines is one reason no one believes the press.
