At a time when, despite increases in school funding, almost 80% of black and Hispanic eighth graders have been deemed “not proficient” in maths or reading, it’s unclear how improvements might be made while simultaneously graduating high-school pupils regardless of their performance, or even their attendance, and while shying from the existence of such terribly oppressive things as correct answers.
But as we’ve been told, more than once, “suspending proficiency requirements” will – in ways that are somewhat unobvious – “benefit” those on whom these things are inflicted.
And parents will doubtless take comfort in the feats of mental contortion performed by those to whom their children are entrusted – including the self-satisfied insistence, by high-school teacher Josh Thompson, that behaving in class is “white supremacy.” You see, paying attention and not being disruptive, so that things might actually be learned, if only by some of those present, is “passive” and a product of “white culture.” And expecting basic standards of behaviour – say, respecting other pupils who are trying to hear what’s being said - is “the definition of white supremacy,” and therefore very, very bad.
A position, incidentally, that’s more common that one might think.
And then there’s the spectacle of Virginia Tech educator Dr Crystal Duncan Lane apologising to her class for the sin of being white – in itself, we’re told, proof of “innate racism.” A claim that not only constitutes a kind of racial gaslighting, but which, in the name of progressive piety, also manages to insult any students with pale skin, and from whom, a pantomime of pretentious collective guilt is evidently expected.

“Who got my back?”
The public school system is insane, at least big pockets of it is. This “teacher” seemed like he was dead serious making these crazy comments about good behavior being a form of “white supremacy”.

Two tips:
1) Throwing more money at the problem won’t work. You tried that.
2) Blaming white guys for the problem won’t work. You tried that.
Maybe we should say to the black community: “Go Fix Yourself”.
I was looking at my youngest girl’s English text book.
America, 7th grade.
First off, it’s not as challenging as her Israeli English text book, 5th grade. English is her second language, mind you.
Second, every story is some iteration of: protagonist is non-white girl, smarter than everyone. Poor and oppressed. Evil white girl wants award and will get it even though she is stupid bc daddy is rich. Principal changes the rules to make white girl win. Non-white heroine prevails because she has the power of melanin that makes her better than evil people of palor.

Or something to that effect.
I.e how I accidentally read that initially.
I saw him play. Best-ever in the ACC.
Interesting post... .gotta think on your message a bit... .
AND HERE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IRKED BY HEARING THAT IGNORANCE BLARING INTO MY LIVINGROOM.
In case you’re wondering why I’m shouting, it’s because THAT’S WHAT I DO!
Played for Norm Sloan, who basically started UF’s basketball program.
Change and decay in all around I see...
We are now seeing what happens when these feral children start teaching other feral children.
Public screwl is a waste of time and money.
Soon they will declare home schooling discriminatory, unfair advantage.
As good money drives out bad so good schools drive out bad schools. (yes, capitalism works)
Can you imagine being in a sane world - - a principal turns to a hothead liberal union jerk/teacher and says, "those commie posters in your classroom have to go OR you go 'cause we've got parents pulling their kids out of our facility and moving them to a competitor... so which is it"?
In short - let's dump 'education socialism'...
I’m hoping self segregation continues, along with more whites homeschooling.
The ACC Tournament Final against Maryland... one of the best games ever. Thompson was simply unstoppable.
That predates my UF knowledge. Thanks for the heads up.
He was certainly athletic...
I was there in 84 when we were actually excited to make the NIT!
