http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/27/obama-backs-race-based-school-discipline-policies/ “African Americans lack equal access to highly effective teachers and principals, safe schools, and challenging college-preparatory classes, and they disproportionately experience school discipline,” said the order, titled “White House Initiative On Educational Excellence.” Because of those causes, the report suggests, “over a third of African American students do not graduate from high school on time with a regular high school diploma, and only four percent of African American high school graduates interested in college are college-ready across a range of subjects.” “What this means is that whites and Asians will get suspended for things that blacks don’t get suspended for,” because school officials will try to level punishments despite groups’ different infraction rates,
This is the old Robin Hood argument dredged up from the 1990's. What libs are suggesting is that we take away from white and Asian students and give it to black students just because of skin color.
What is the proportional contribution of blacks to unsafe undisciplined schools? What contribution have teachers Unions made to effective teaching? You won't answer that will you Mr Presidebt?
Ah yes, because there is no possible way that blacks could be responsible for their own predicaments. It's just those mean ol' honkeys, keepin' the black man down. Obama has got to go.
So does the Department of Education and any politician that gets in the way of voucher and charter schools. That's the real problem. Black students excel when they are given the chance to learn in schools where the unions don't hold sway and/or they aren't bottled up in urban (*)(*)(*)(*)holes.
What this is, when analysed, is a re-establishment of the theory of 'disperate impact'. Disperate cohort results ON ANY METRIC are alone proof of racism. It's allowed the leftwads to excuse every failing of blacks everywhere. Don't score so well on the SAT? RACISM!!!!!!!!!! Don't pass the New Haven firefighter's officer exam? RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Convicted of violent crimes at 5X the white rate? RACISM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not getting hired as often as whites? RACISM!!!!!!!!!! It's the perfect dodge. It's a bulletproof excuse for any social pathology. And obama wants it forever. Let's stop counting people by race, eh? .
I think the real problem is low IQ, thug culture, a general disdain for education... black teachers that aren't much brighter than the students, white teachers who are intimidated. That's not to say that all blacks are ignorant thugs, that's not the case at all. Those who want to succeed will.
I understand that there will be an executive order to deny more whites marriage licenses. Need to increase the number of out-of-wedlock births with the white folk.
This is actually a very bad thing. What it means is the blacks will do worse in school...because good students and teachers will be forced to deal with disruptive intimidating students. And whites will get very angry once they see their children treated as second class citizens and blacks encouraged to be thugs. Not a good thing. I remember how angry I felt years back....when I couldn't move my child out of a bad school simply because he was white. If he had been black---he could have gone to any school with openings. That type of treatments sticks with you.
You are exactly right. But Obama, being part marxist and part leftist...especially leftist does not think the thing thru. The unintended consequences will be that we are going to have an angrier, more arrogant black population. Because they can do anything they want and not face the punishment that will be inflicted on students of other races, they will become lazier, more arrogant and feel entitled to succeed in spite of their ignorance and laziness. In the long run it's gonna kill them.
weren't there some topics here....Whites will be the minority by 2050, Will it matter if whites are bred out of existance....etc. With help from King Bones and his EO's, hell, blacks will be lucky if they have enough intelligence to be able to bend their elbow and hit their mouths with the food in their hand.
Blatant institutional racism. Kids will now be punished simply for being white or Asian. And I don't expect a single race-baiter to have a problem with this either. Because that's what real racists do. They justify their racism as being okay. On top of that, this won't even help anything. What it will do is lower standards for black kids which will, in turn, produce inferior results. If you're not going to punish bad behavior, don't be surprised when you get more of it. Do you like delinquent behavior? Do you think it's good that black kids engage in this at a higher rate? Well, congratulations, you've just made the problem worse. When you give people immunity from behaving responsibily, they will exploit this to the fullest extent possible. It's human nature. Just look at Hollywood.
Maybe you need to reload, or put down the drink. Make Google your friend. Hint: Whites may not be 50% of the population in 2050. That does not make them "the minority". Negroes will not be the majority regardless.
Very perceptive! What we have, ironically, is the same crowd that preaches multiculturalism is also preaching a new race based segregation policy for our schools. And it's useful to note that Asians excell because they want to excell and success in school is a priority. You can have race based school programs from now until the end of time and nothing will change...until the community that produces generation after generation of violent failures changes itself!!!
Soon there will be more white kids being eudcated outside of the public school system than in. a couple generations of that and the liberal brain trust will dwindle.
Race hustler, victim pimp, class warfare whore Obama has obviously interpreted the 14th amendment to mean "special protections of the laws to affect equal outcomes" Despicable human being. .
What is so sad is that I don't know if this is a joke or reality.....if a person from the 50s read a newspaper today they would think it was made up.....
