One of the goals of “You Know I’m Right” is to help inform you of important stories that receive little to no coverage in major news outlets. Last week, for example, a senator running for president was asked why schools in Iowa perform better than schools in Washington, D.C. He replied, “There’s less than 1 percent of the population of Iowa that is African-American. There is probably less than 4 or 5 percent that are minorities. What is in Washington? So look, it goes back to what you start off with, what you’re dealing with.”
