...OUR kids of color..."

Hey, Michael Reagan! Beat it with this tripe. They aren't my kids of color. I have and support my own kids.

Don’t vote Democrat. This is the voters fault.

I’m also glad Martin Luther King Jr. is dead, so he can’t see how our failed educators are using the BS of Critical Race Theory to judge people by the color of their skin and not their character.

One of the most tired, and false, tropes beloved by idiot conservatives who have conserved - nothing.

Summary: Hey blacks, the Oregon authorities think that your children are incapable of learning. Since a good many of us (me included) have trained blacks to be fighter pilots, PhDs in Math/EE/Physics, I disagree.

But then again, it’s Democrats - the founding party of the KKK and the most prejudiced collection of bigots in the multiverse. Everything they touch turns to excrement, but they still look in the mirror and think that they are the best and the brightest.

Democrats are an existential enemy and must be treated as such. With whatever means necessary.

People with no character hide behind their color.

Kids of color? Black and Brown? Cut it with that crap and go for the throat. The problem is that the vast majority of teachers in city government schools are illiterate and they can't even pass the test. They belong to and fully support teachers unions that lobby and donate to politicians. The trade off is simple. The teachers get to keep their jobs even though they are incompetent.

I don't give a damn about a test to graduate until teachers stop promoting children from grade to grade when the teachers haven't done their job. Part of that job is failing children when they do not achieve. Achieving is simple. Just read, write and compute at grade level. This isn't rocket science. It is simple stuff.

Focus on the basics, leave out all the leftist propaganda, all the LBGTQXYZ crap, and all the bLM, Antifa, Gorbal warming scientism drivel.

Focus is the key to learning. It's the key to teaching, but you first have to know what you are teaching. That is the problem. The only thing teachers know and feel comfortable with is leftist BS because that is what they were indoctrinated with when they went to college. Education degrees are an absolute joke. There is no rigor.

I don’t expect the liberals at CNN or the New York Times to care. But where are the kids’ parents?

The question answers itself.

Graduating illiterate morons from high school isn’t the problem. The real scandal is that it costs so much taxpayer money to get this result.

Nobody outside the education industry would care if these misfits never went to school in the first place.

It’s not just minorities or POC or whatever that is being dumbed down. EVERYBODY (yes that includes white kids) will be dumbed down by this.

In Illinois we have LGBT, Asian, and Holocaust history required through grade 8. Now they are starting Culturally Responsive Teaching, which is CRT by a different name. The overwhelming problem for minority failure is fatherless households, but no one will even mention that. Much easier to blame Whites and the police. That is what CRT will do.

People who believe what this guy wrote do not live around black people. It’s not the school’s fault, it’s not the teacher’s fault. It’s the parents. Do they really think that Deshaun’s mother Laquaria gives a crap about his grades? Laquaria is out looking for weed and her next baby’s daddy. Deshaun is out on Saturday night with his pack shooting up the neighborhood for crying out loud. If a black parent cares about their child’s education they can get the same exact education as the average white child.

One aspect of this I haven’t seen mentioned is the adulteration of credentials. “He’s got a diploma, why didn’t you hire him? Racist! Pay thousands in compensation, do not pass Go.”

It doesn’t matter if said person can’t read or write. He has credentials.

“Dumbing Down Our Kids of Color”

Should read: Dumbing Down Our Kids. This is really nothing new as it’s been an ongoing march for decades. You see it in everyday and from all walks of life. Now the educrats are officially stating their position and proud of it.

Wake up America.

By saying they can graduate in spite of failure, failure is rewarded and blamed on Whitey, who is not failing.

A TRUE ONLINE EDUCATION SYSTEM TEAMED UP WITH ELON MUSK’S STARLINK WOULD END THE STRANGLEHOLD THE TEACHER’S UNION HAS ON USA TAXPAYERS.

“Black and brown communities should be voting out their school boards and demanding that schools get back to teaching the basics. That means teaching their kids how to read, count and think – not what to think. Most of all, though, black and brown parents should be demanding school choice, so that they are no longer forced to send their kids to the crappy public school in their designated district.”

But the “communities” and parent(s) are not doing it, Michael. They don’t care.

Got to keep that 95% (D) “real” vote to underpin the 125% fraud result in those precincts. Education makes that task much more difficult.
