WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders on Saturday announced an education policy proposal designed to pump billions of dollars into the public schools system in a direct appeal to black voters who shunned the U.S. senator in his previous presidential bid.The 10-point plan Sanders will detail in a speech in South Carolina is designed to end racial disparities in the public education system. America’s education policy debate has long been steeped in discussions of race and racial discrimination. Sanders struggled in the 2016 campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination against Hillary Clinton to garner support among African-Americans. His chief Democratic rival in the run-up to the 2020 election, former Vice President Joe Biden, has polled well among black voters.

Crazy old Burnie is appealing to public school union members, who are they trying to kid?

Perhaps his wife could help with finances...it worked so well in Vermont.

[ealgeone]

As long as ebonics, lowered standards of behavior for minorities and other such policies any additional money is just a vote buying scheme.

[nickedknack]

Blacks who care about education want choice and vouchers to get their children out of the sh*tholes that are inner city schools. Regressive Socialist ‘RATS such as Sanders want minorities trapped in those prisons. Ref: Obama canceling the D.C. school voucher program to appease the teachers unions, while sending his rented “children” to an expensive private school.

Tell us Bernie,how do you educate people with an average IQ of 85?

[dfwgator]

IQ isn’t the problem.

It’s the “Crab Bucket Mentality” that’s the problem.

[Retvet]

How many more times will Democrats try to “BUY” black votes?

[IC Ken]

As I have said before Democrats refuse to educate the blacks in urban schools. Teachers union don’t want to teach but are in favor of fancier schools. (I generalize about 80% I think of teachers. There are always a few who actually try.)

"It's a bad carpenter who blames his tools …"

Pouring more money into black schools? What's Bernie smokin'?

It's not the school. It's the students. In addition to being feral and unsocialized, the students lack the IQ to succeed with a normal curriculum. These children have no future in modern society other than incarceration, or unproductive government jobs doing simple busywork.

Bernie Sanders proposes U.S. education policy overhaul to appeal to black voters

In Bernie’s new educational system references to “white Europeans” will be eliminated and a section on black Africans building the Gaza complex will be added. Math will use dime bags to illustrate various addition, subtraction and multiplication problems ... division will be eliminated since it is divisive and a white European invention.

[William of Barsoom]

Why not simply award a High School Diploma to every registered “student?”

That way, they have the work-credential they need to get employed, and no-muss, no-fuss, “grades” don’t matter as they are merely a tool of The White Man’s Repression anyway.

Same for (free-of-charge) college, too. Apply, and get the credential right away with no delay or expense.

Oh! You say, THE LEARNING iss the thing, and NOT just the credential?

Damn.

That’s different. For true learning, one needs to work at ir. Really, actually work at it.

Damned inconvenient, that.

[DPMD]

Sounds good; just establish the Department of Black Education. Because the other DOE has worked out so well, and, besides, we are apparently becoming reacquainted with racial segregation and seem to like it.

[GOPJ]

Democrats make BIG promises to black citizens.

then after the vote the black community gets a new community center named after some local civil rights activists and staffed with democrat loyalists...

Four years later democrats make the SAME big promises ...dignity for all, free medical care, jobs galore... and another few hundred ‘community centers’ nation-wide are built and named after local activists....

Thank you for referencing that article McQ444. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

It’s no surprise that post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Sanders doesn’t seem to understand that the states have never expressly constitutional delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate education purposes, any more than it does for things like unconstitutional Obamacare.

More specifically, not only did President Thomas Jefferson reflect on the 10th Amendment when he indicated in a State of the Union address that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution before the feds could dictate policy for intrastate schooling, but Justice Joseph Story had also indicated that schooling is uniquely a state power issue.

• 10th Amendment: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

• On a few articles of more general and necessary use, the suppression in due season will doubtless be right, but the great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].”—Thomas Jefferson : Sixth Annual Message to Congress

• "The power to regulate manufactures, not having been confided to congress, they have no more right to act upon it, than they have to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws, of the states [emphases added]. Congress is empowered to lay taxes for revenue, it is true; but there is no power to encourage, protect, or meddle with manufactures." —Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 2

• ”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

So although Sanders’ heart is in the right place, he is unthinkingly trying to expand the powers of the already unconstitutionally big federal government with his constitutionally indefensible campaign promises.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA!

Throwing money at blacks to “educate” them does NOT work. Are we never going to learn? https://object.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa-298.pdf

Kansas City wasted millions on a project, which is outlined above. The results are pretty typical of all efforts to do the same. Integrating them into white schools doesn’t work. It destroys the white schools, and the blacks are no better off. As the schools deteriorate, white people again FLEE, to save their kids. I’m so sick of this communist SJW bullshite that I could vomit.

I wish they would just leave the rest of us alone.

[Farmer Dean]

Both factors are a problem.
