Just, wow!
If I’m a student, why would I “reframe my views”?? I’m right. They need to reframe.
You teachers are white and that means you’re racist..Shouldn’t all of you give up your jobs to black teachers??????
You forgot to capitalize Black. That’s the new woke.

Charter School Does Everything Right — But That’s Not Reflected on State Tests
"At the Charter School of Inquiry just off the Kensington Expressway, a “founding fathers” artwork features prominent African Americans instead of Jefferson and Madison, a “periodic table” highlights the contributions of people of color, and a music teacher during a drumming session points out that drumlines originated at African American colleges and universities."
"The children themselves also are on the walls. In one display, they draw themselves and fill in the blank “I like my ___”. The answers range from eyes to nose to hair, and it’s impossible not to recall the negative stereotypes long associated with such features on African Americans and the impact that had on generations of black children. CSI’s children should not have that problem."
"In fact, the school has created an environment that should prove fertile for achievement. Yet only 17.3% of its students were proficient in English language arts last year and only 13.7% made the cut in math – figures below the Buffalo Public Schools averages."
Doing everything right and the grades still lag behind...Sooo,they want white and Asian kids to suffer to make black kids feel better about being morons
My administration says that these constraints on discourse are necessary to shield students from harm. But it is clear to me that these constraints serve primarily to shield their ideology from harm—at the cost of students’ psychological and intellectual development.
“...a music teacher during a drumming session points out that drumlines originated at African American colleges and universities.”
My first degree was in music history and I can promise you, percussion instruments that make up the drum kit have an ancient multicultural history. The first traces of cymbals and drums date back to the 7th century BC. He is right about one thing that among ancient war drums the junjung was used by the Serer people in West Africa. But that was a few hundred years before the land was set aside for the first Black Colleges in the US, or even before the US existed.
By the 13th century, the crusaders and their foes used kettle drums to frighten horses during attack. The Scotts were using marching drums in the 12th century to pace marches and irritate their opponents used with the pipes.
The first black higher education facilities were established in the US in the mid 1800’s. I’ve always thought it wise to stay within your field. He teaches drums and obviously not history.

Leaked audio of principal allegedly admitting making white students feel 'less than'
Every ancient culture had percussion instruments. They are the most basic instrument you can make. It takes little skill to bang a stick on a hollow log. It take a bit more skill to stretch a skin over a hollow log but it's still a very basic musical instrument. It takes higher still to standardize them and tune them.
That precision drum corps first arose out of black universities is absurd but the narrative they're trying to create is blacks invented everything.
Does everything right - except to teach them reading, writing and arithmetic. I wonder why the scores didn’t go up. Google Thaddeus Lott. What he did for poor black kids in Houston was amazing. He was accused of cheating on standardized test scores because his school was passing the best schools in the district. He implemented a program that actually taught kids and set expectations that they would learn.
What’s amazing is there are stupid parents who pay $57k per year to have their children degraded and propagandized by marxists.

It’s like Checkov on Star Trek claiming that the Russians invented everything. LOL
“...Sooo,they want white and Asian kids to suffer to make black kids feel better about being morons”
BINGO. That’s why I’m all for segregation in school. Stupid feral ghetto animal students should just be with their own kind and leave the other students alone. Dont mix em up.
From the article:
“My school, like so many others, induces students via shame and sophistry to identify primarily with their race before their individual identities are fully formed. Students are pressured to conform their opinions to those broadly associated with their race and gender and to minimize or dismiss individual experiences that don’t match those assumptions. The morally compromised status of “oppressor” is assigned to one group of students based on their immutable characteristics. In the meantime, dependency, resentment and moral superiority are cultivated in students considered “oppressed.”
All of this is done in the name of “equity,” but it is the opposite of fair. In reality, all of this reinforces the worst impulses we have as human beings: our tendency toward tribalism and sectarianism that a truly liberal education is meant to transcend.”
This Critical Race Theory is designed to create hatred and sets the stage for the breakup of these United States.
Are you referring to the old Kensington HS, or #78?
