CANDACE OWENS: Why The American Education System Is Systematically Producing Failures

The Daily Wire ^ | April 3, 2021 | Candace Owens

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The American education system is producing adults with more degrees that are infinitely dumber — and that’s not just an opinion. In recent years, students are graduating at higher rates, yet they are scoring lower and lower on standardized tests. How is that possible?

It’s possible because our education system is being effectively rinsed of hard academics and objective metrics, in favor of woke, emotional, psychological conditioning. In essence, students today are being taught that it’s not what you know, it’s how you feel.

How you feel is the goal of education initiatives like critical race theory, and “anti-racism”— initiatives which explicitly teach and endorse racial discrimination as a means to counter supposed “systemic racism.”

The truth is there are no racist systems in America anymore. There is no law that is stopping me, as a black woman, from doing anything that a white man can do in today’s society. In fact, the only trace of systemic oppression that targets black people is happening in schools, where a black woman like me would be taught that I will never be anything more than a black person.

That’s what critical race theory is teaching children. That America is an evil, oppressive, fundamentally racist country and we are forever defined by our race.

Things either happen by accident, or they were planned that way.

This was planned.

Every morning, I wake up and the first thing I think is,

“What can I do today to hurt Americans of African Descent?”

Not really.

I usually think,

“I wonder if there are any of those cherry Pop Tarts left?”

You can take a horse to water but you can’t make him drink

You can send a brother to school but you can’t make him think

Cultural analysis

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

This woman is amazing and beautiful to boot!! I have a soft spot for black women.

[diatomite]

I wonder if there is a lot of Dunning-Kruger effect lose in the news this morning?

Every morning, I wake up and the first thing I think is,

I usually think,

Wow! Still breathing!!

[blueunicorn6]

One morning, I woke up and I wasn’t breathing.

So I went back to sleep.

Pretty soon, I woke up again, but this time, you weren’t breathing.

So I went back to sleep.

I woke up again, and this time, everyone was breathing, so I got up and ate a cherry Pop Tart.

[PIF]

When you get older breathing in the morning takes precedence over all other things including pop tarts which you have to gum having no teeth

"There is one great psychological advantage to the white underclass in their disdain for education: it enables them to maintain the fiction that the society around them is grossly, even grotesquely, unjust, and that they themselves are the victims of this injustice."

(Emphasis mine, as Theodore Dalrymple is talking about whites in England; the problem is not confined to the United States.)

[South Dakota]

Agree education’s plandemic

[sten]

they’ve also been admitting people of color into schools regardless of test scores. meanwhile, white males receive a 0 on the ‘diversity’ section of admission scoring which has eliminated most white males from campus.

I love this woman. She is the epitome of a smart, informed, logical, brave, patriotic woman who is both beautiful on the inside and outside. I forget, shes also black, I should hate her according to the racists.

[mo]

mebbe because a well-educated individual isn’t susceptible to the usual leftist scam-of-the-month?

just guessin’ here.

[SaraJohnson]

She might run for President.

[exDemMom]

...it enables them to maintain the fiction that the society around them is grossly, even grotesquely, unjust, and that they themselves are the victims of this injustice.

That attitude is very prevalent in poor neighborhoods. I do recall being raised to have a very similar attitude. Democrat politicians are very adept at promoting this attitude because it keeps them in power. They don't ever have to do anything to improve the quality of life or offer better opportunities for poor people. Instead, all they have to do is tell poor people that they understand and empathize with them about how unfair the rich are, and those people run off to vote for them over and over.

[Richard Axtell]

A mind, is a terrible thing.
