Of course this group is based in San Francisco – where else?
If this were 1915 rather than 2015, the positions taken by the Pacific Educational Group (PEG) would be properly attributed to the Klu Klux Klan. Even today if any “unapproved of” group said these things the media would ride in with their keyboards blazing to destroy anyone who even whispered what this liberal think tank is saying out loud.
PEG uses what it calls Courageous Conversations to say the things it does; but it’s still idiotic. PEG tells teachers that Blacks are, “…less likely to respond to fundamental ideas like working hard to achieve success, or being on time for school or work…”
PEG is infecting the thinking of government school, K- 12 teachers with the idea that teaching Black youngsters to be responsible and prepared to join our workforce is essentially a waste of time. This means that PEG is supporting the idea that our government schools are really operating to provide cushy “no responsibility” jobs for unionized Democrat voting teachers.
Various government school systems around the country have paid PEG millions of dollars to be given a free pass – absolution as it were – from the responsibility for seeing that Black kids learn anything useful in their classrooms.
Not at all surprising is that in recent years the Baltimore County Public School System paid PEG $427,000 to be told that they can’t teach Blacks how to fit into the greater society.
A review of the lavish manner in which Baltimore schools are funded...

Until recently, you could often tell if a black person you met had attended a Catholic school. They were punctual, literate, didn't dress like thugs, and were articulate. The sisters wouldn't stand for crap like "Let me axe you a querstion" or "I dranked a coke wiff my Messican food."
“some”...slaves worked hard. There are no “slaves” in the USA now. Maybe it is those who have jobs who are the slaves to government and welfare slackers?
You beat me to it. My thoughts exactly, because I saw (and experienced) the same thing.
My little town has one black family. The oldest son actually wants to be a farmer and knows how much work it is after working on local farms during the summers.
Sin being called culture, again.
Yes, they do. They work hard to fill out all those forms for taxpayer-funded stuff, then they work hard to open the envelopes and get down to the window to cash the checks; finally, they work double hard and overtime to blame Whitey for everything that’s wrong in their lives.
Exhausting.
Michelle says they don’t like museums either.
Low expectation bigotry that is fostered by the political left.
“Saying you can’t change the undesirable aspects of a person’s culture is asinine and insulting. When I was in the military, no matter what your color, you were on time or else. You completed your assigned tasks or else. Same with the Catholic schools that were run by the nuns.

Wen my older one was in the Marine Corps, if you weren’t early you were late. Assigned tasks were done (eagerly) before the order-giver could have second thoughts.
I spent 11 years in Catholic schools with nuns & Christian Brothers. ‘Nuff said.
Had a kid on our local high school robotics team who was probably the smartest one when it came to programming and custom electronics circuits. A bit starry-eyed and naive, but smart as a whip and ever so pleasant. Just happened to be black. Lost track of his progress after he got his master’s degree in engineering at Va Tech.
Seeing this piece makes me look back (and, subsequently have a dim view of their future)...
I also attended a state school— in a state with seven reservations and the two poorest counties in the USA. I was required to take INED0411 (Indian Education- senior level) as a college course twenty-five years ago. It’s main purpose was to tell me that I was to be accepting and appreciative of the several Indian (not Native American— professor didn’t seem to like the term but also had a fondness for the American Indian Movement) concepts. Among these were “Indian time” (showing up whenever— or not, and disappearing for days at a time, or expecting that deadlines were to be met), Tiospaye (everyone is cousin or auntie so I shouldn’t expect interaction with the student’s parents [or anyone] , a student could miss days of school “because grandma died” many times a year, and that homework could be shared), and “Indian Ways v White Ways” (cultural things like eye contact and confrontation is disrespectful, low mumbling is actually polite speech, parents [broad term] can discipline however they want, and that tribe and Indian concerns always took precedence over “white expectations).
I felt the class was doing everyone— but most especially Indian children— a huge disservice. Respect is important: Enabling is destructive. Later, working with too many native youth in the judicial system, I came to the opinion that the only chance that many of them had would be if they left their “family” and the reservation behind. Of course, the tribe fought tooth and nail to keep them in the same destructive cycle they were trapped in.
And they are better!
URBAN Black culture.
Not all of black culture.
And in the past blacks were uch more integrated into society when they had intact families, before democrwts split them up with feminism and welfare.
At it’s roots slavery is where the product of one person’s labor is taken away from him for the benefit of someone else.
Today we call that paying taxes.
To build on your comment: When I was in high school whenever I was groped or obscenely propositioned it was 100% of the time a black male doing it.
And 100% of the time the teachers treated me as the problem for complaining about it.
College Educational Group finds that nearly all College Educational Groups are worthless.
California educational group finds nearly all California educational group worthless. College educational groups,too.;)
I have in my syllabus and “Rules of Engagement” brief a clear statement that on-time arrivals are expected and regular late arrivals result in points taken away from assignments.
I also started to lock the door to the room. The sound of the handle turning and then the sound of a body bumping into the door with the subsequent knocking is funny. Once the door is locked, it is locked. You are late—you lose. Thing is, students that make an effort to arrive on time support locking the lazy out of the room.
The classic stereotype. Sloth.
