The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is under investigation following the school president’s declaration that racism was “embedded” in the institution.
President Christopher L. Eisgruber published an open letter earlier this month claiming that “[r]acism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton” and that “racist assumptions” are “embedded in structures of the University itself.”
According to a letter the Department of Education sent to Princeton that was obtained by the Washington Examiner, such an admission from Eisgruber raises concerns that Princeton has been receiving tens of millions of dollars of federal funds in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which declares that “no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Eisgruber’s letter branding the 274 year-old university racist came after a summer of unrest rife with race riots and an open letter from hundreds of Princeton faculty members who wrote, “Anti-Black racism has a visible bearing upon Princeton’s campus makeup.” The admission was followed by dozens of “anti-racist” policy change demands. Among them were calls for select faculty race quotas and to “reconsider” the use of standardized testing for admissions.
Trump to sign Executive Order called the “1776 Commission” promoting Pro-American Education.
I swear they are reading our thread!
One more reason
Affirmative Action.
We had two teachers in our system who needed help getting through high school because of “disabilities”. They worked well with children with similar problems but were otherwise were NOT teacher material. Should not have had a normal classroom but relied on other teachers for guidance. Then the state came out with curriculum that basically told teachers what pages were to be covered each day. It left no room for creativity. Many excellent creative teachers chose early retirement. Opening up positions for the puppet crew seemed their goal.
