AMY GOODMAN: Can you talk about your original push to have the Robert E. Lee statue taken down and what you ultimately got, that isnt talked about as much, which is some kind of
WES BELLAMY: Equity package, yeah.
AMY GOODMAN: some kind of funds for reparations?
WES BELLAMY: Yeah, so, this all started nearly a year and a half ago, in March of last year. I received several different phone calls, emails. There was a petition from a local student here in the area about an effort and a push to remove the statue of Robert E. Lee. People in Charlottesville have been talking about this for some years, but just last year there was a nuance in a bill that was vetoed at the state House by our governor that essentially said that if you want to move these kind of statues and things of that nature, its a local issue, so you have the right to be able to do so. My colleague and I, Ms. Kristin Szakos, we both decided to push really hard.

And in the midst of all of this, we also got an equity package passed, which I presented in January, before we had our first voteand it was unanimously passedwhich gave us $950,000 to our African American Heritage Center, $250,000 to build onto one of the parks in the local African-American community. We got $2.5 million to public housing redevelopment, $50,000 annually for anyone who lives in public housing to get free GED training, another $50,000 to anyone who lives 80 percent below the AMI, which is the annual median income, as well as public housing, to have scholarships of sorts to go to our local community college. We got a position for black male achievement, which were calling a youth opportunity coordinator. So, I mean, in all, in all, it was about $4 million, basically, from funding, put specifically into marginalized communities to help bridge the gap and create equity.
All of this is about equity. We need equity, and not equality. Those are two different things. Equity is giving everyone what they need in order to have the same playing field. Equality is just giving everyone the same thing. I dont want equality. I want us to have equity. And were going to push for equity in every space, whether thats public parks, whether thats in our city budget, no matter where it is, as long as Im on council. And Im going to push for it until the day I die.

masters of education for the most part are joke degrees. It allows “educators” to fleece taxpayers out of more $$$ through a pay increase.
That’s what I have heard. But it is hard to tell that this guy had any kind of higher education.

Goddamned pavement ape.
I love this statement. I am totally stealing it, btw.
I'm confused as to why the "/s" was needed there.
Once I had to adjudicate an academic dishonesty allegation involving two M.Ed. candidates. The mid-term exam which was one of three that semester consisted of 25 multiple-choice questions. It was an open-book. take-home exam. I have never had an education class in my life (but I do hold two undergraduate degrees, a Master's degree and a Ph.D.). It took me 10 minutes to take the exam and I got 24 of 25 correct. The one I missed asked to name the author of a book I hadn't read. This was at a major university. I'm sure that there are some talented people with that degree but the degree alone doesn't persuade me of that.
