A new report found Black girls across the Keystone State are subjected to "daunting educational barriers" in K-12 public schools and offers recommendations to make the school system more inclusive. The report detailed barriers with curriculum, dress codes, anti-Black racism, sexism and other issues.
Paige Joki, staff attorney for the Education Law Center-Pennsylvania and leader of the Black Girls Education Justice Initiative, said the purpose of the report was to hear the concerns of Black girls, because their voices were missing from conversations.
She reported students advised them they were exposed to harmful curriculum, and one of the girls' recommendations for public schools is to implement a culturally responsive and affirming curriculum.
"Black girls shared with us that the ways that they were being taught about their history and experiences was traumatic, nonresponsive, and erased experiences of those who are part of their community or have shared identities," Joki reported. "Girls spoke to subjects being handled carelessly, like American slavery."
Another recommendation in the report called for police to be removed from schools. Joki pointed out Black children disproportionately attend schools where police are present, and many of the Black girls they spoke with felt police in their schools created a climate of fear and made them unsafe.......
"Black girls shared with us that there were not enough counselors at their school or any at all, that the focus was mainly on academics, rather than on supporting their well-being," Joki explained. "

No kidding.
Now, to some, this rant may appear racist. Not so. Merely a list of observations. Try stopping in to any inner city McDonalds after 11pm and you'll see much of the above.
This is a bunch of crap by another radical with a pen. First of all, I highly doubt this is the number one concern on the minds of Black Female Students.
1)Most if not all are scoring below the state standards in reading and math.
2)Most of them are chasing hardheaded Boys, putting out twerking videos, recording fights and disrespecting respecting, and beating up teachers.
3) If these quote-unquote schools are in major urban areas like Philly or Pittsburgh then they want the police in schools due to the criminal elements that are allowed to exist in schools because of people just like the writer here.
4)I noticed that the other left out any accountability for the Parents of these Girls. You write a whole article on this clearly anti-family tilt and can’t find one Black Parent in the Keystone State that isn’t concerned about the education of their Daughter? Rrrrright!
Oh, boo hoo.
Cry me a river.
How about ignoring your cultural opposition to getting an education because it’s *acting white*, and actually learning something, which is what schools are SUPPOSED to be for.
its not just america, how about africa? they had slaves before america did!
How do you think they got slaves to the ships? Free 3 night stay at the beach, climb aboard!
TRUTH!! Slavery has been around since before the pyramids were built and only satan worshippers push " we was kings " crap on blacks. only satan can keep reminding you your black and its whites fault.
“ No other race does this.” And we have LBJ to thank for this
Ask Scott Adams why there is a bigger police presence at black schools.
It seems that becoming educated in order to function in and contribute to American society is labeled as racist.
I like water buffalo.
Sounds like many are not interested n school and want a Gov day care facility.
And I think graduation should consist of a one way ticket to Liberia.
Are the White girls going to be allowed to enroll in Twerking class also?
Yeah, that's part of the plan.. The other part is that massive army Obama and his pals (The "One World Cabal") are bring in through the southern border..
Times are going to get hard.. As the Bible says, "The blood will run in the streets."
“the focus was mainly on academics, rather than on supporting their well-being,” Joki explained.”
This has to be a JOKI…..
This is what happens when kids are not watched over by their parents. That includes the parents’ knowing and speaking up about what’s going on in the schools and the media.
Near my office is a high school that is minority majority and my gosh the boys looks like they are PIMPS in training or THUGS in training (with their boxers showing) and the girls look like they just came in from a night of walking the streets.
I guess dress codes are racist!!
The only solution is segregation!
All of their kids have gone on to college or learned trades. I am not aware of a single one who was raised here who turned into a career criminal.
Stack that record up against any liberal school district in the 'hood.
Every day is a bad hair day.
