Black Conservative Headmistress Hits School Results Jackpot; Left Throws Tantrum
Breitbart ^ | 24 Aug 2019 | James Delingpole

Posted on 08/24/2019 8:14:21 AM PDT by mairdie

Why does the success of the Michaela School so infuriate the left?

Because though the headmistress Katharine Birbalsingh is black, she’s the wrong kind of black: a conservative who doesn’t believe in playing the race card or identity politics.

Because though the kids come from largely working-class, migration-background families, they are the wrong kind of working-class immigrants: ones who don’t know their role is to be victims and to blame their failures on racism and government inaction.

Because though the results are some of the best in the country, they were achieved using the wrong kind of methods: not the “child-centred”, supposedly creativity-nurturing, discipline-lite laissez-faire approach as recommended by the leftist educational establishment — aka the Blob — but with teaching methods so rigorous and demanding that classes are like a cross between a Trappist monastery and a Marine boot camp.

Libs are never happy about anything. Gotta keep blacks in their place and down on the plantation no matter which side of the pond.

It didn’t take but a few months before they turned on Harry’s bride.

There’s a Christian school in Houston, called Imani, which appears to be all black. I don’t know the details regarding how they do it, but they go toe-to-toe against the other Christian schools in competitions. Not only do they often win, and almost always come in the top three, the kids at those competitions are MUCH BETTER BEHAVED than the kids from the other schools. They come in, take their seats, and are basically silent, except during the competitions. Well, not quite, they’re free to cheer themselves when they kick butt over the mostly white schools - and they do cheer!

It is simply pleasure to watch them and anyone seeing them compete, particularly Leftists, will have their per-conceived notions about blacks (polite term for prejudices) greatly challenged.

Which is why schools like this are reviled. Of course black kids are capable of good behavior and academic excellence—if it is expected of them. As you point out they take pride in themselves and their achievements. Schools like this make most public schools, which practice the tyranny of low expectations, look bad.

The libs didn’t turn. They’re still in the Daily Mail comments defending her to the last. It’s the people who recognize hypocrites when they see one that are down on her.

More and more people are waking up, thank goodness!!

Between Candace Owens, Brandon Straka, and others, there will be a lot of people leaving the RAT cult.

Thanks! Great story.

This will be ignored - or worse, covered up - by the MSM.

They already have the blue print....
what they did to Marva Collins and WestSide Prep in Chicago was criminal.
But her legacy was passed forward and it lives on.

It’s not just a matter of expectations at school, it’s also greatly influenced by the home environment. I would bet that the majority, if not all, of these kids share the same last name with mom, as well as dad. Dad has a full time job, and possibly mom as well. Live in a single family home. And so on..

I agree, someone at home wants and expects his son or daughter to succeed. The home environment is vital to kids’ success.

This woman better be careful or she’ll get set up, then thrown in jail. They’ll put some plant of a kid in there, then make accusations and file lawsuits. That’s how the left operates.
