It has become a bit of a ritual over the past few years: A person does or says something a portion of the population finds offensive, a social media pile-on ensues, and a ritual apology, complete with acknowledgments of “harm” and commitments to “get educated,” is issued.

Recent Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program results showed that most students couldn’t do basic English, science, and math.
