I wonder why we even bother spending education dollars on these kids in the first place.
MINORITY parents,particularly mexican immigrants and inner city blacks, have obviously taught their children that living off of taxpayers is more acceptable than actually learning enough, or having enough self-respect to support themselves.
So, we get to spend hard earned money because the Mexicans won't learn English, and now the blacks think they too good fo da english..
It's like sending money down a bottomless pit.
STOP EDUCATING THOSE WHO CAN NOT BE EDUCATED.

It's as if they
want these kids to remain on the bottom rung of the social ladder.
Oh wait. They do.

"...Most will end up dead or in jail at a very early age, which is fine for liberals.. I'd have to disagree with that. Liberals don;t want them to go to jail because they don't get to vote Dem from the big house. Now when Hill-Da-Beast can pass her jailbird/convict/parolee voter bill, then yeah, I'll agree.

My primary and secondary education stressed critical thinking - a damning concept to liberal/socialist/commie creeps.

This should help the rest of you communicate with these new graduates .... biyatch (always end a sentence with biyatch or you risk have your street cred questioned).

Next there will be a class called ESL for "Ebonics as a second language," rather than "English as a Second Language."

"Ebonics is a different language, it's not slang as many believe,'"
So-called ebonics is neither a language or a dialect. It's an idiolect intended to distiquish blacks as different from the rest of the population.
I have no qualms about teaching black students in ebonics. If blacks want to ascend into the abyss of decadence, let them do so. It's their choice.

There are just soooo many things wrong with this, don't even know where to begin....can one get a job speaking ebonics???? I can see it now, let me ax my boss, geez, how stupid does that sound, I worked for the State of MA and we had a black guy who spoke ebonics, the rest of the office found it "refreshing", two of us found it offensive and ignorant, keep in mind this is LIBERAL Massachusetts so anything goes. We also had several immigrants answering the phones, a russian, an asian, one from Lebanon, one from Puerto Rico, one from Portugal, none of them spoke English, yet they got offended when they had to repeat themselves several times so they could be understood, (rolling eyes, shaking head in disgust!)

Tillman hoped the new policy would increase the number of black students going to college and participating in advanced courses. Whatever. As a college professor, I will not even grade a paper that is not grammatically correct and written in an organized, logical fashion. They get returned, and until the student either cleans it up themself, or visits the writing center for assistance, their score is a zero.

You did not end ANY of your sentences with "biyatch"! Not even one of them.
You sir, are a grammatical disgrace.

It's the typical lowest common denominator theory of education.
"the bigotry of low expectations" is how our President expressed it.

Naw that's bunk. You just need someone willing to teach and isn't completely hamstrung by the school, teachers union, and parents that only seem to remember their children when they can use them to cash in on a law suite.

This is sick, abusive, and very racist. (They can't learn because they live in the inner city and are minoritys)
Lets just give them crack, booze and porn while at it.
Standards should be increased, not decreased.
Everyone can learn if they are expected to, race has nothing to do with it. Expections do.

But I have a question. How long do you think it's going to be before it is a requirement to speak Spanish?<<
It already is for some jobs in some areas. If you want to work for the City and County here in Texas..one needs to learn Spanish. SO I've taken the language in self-defense (Spanish is EASY, BTW, no wonder they don't want the hassle of learning English..that might be..work. Which, takes..a...brain!)
You ought to hear some of the BS I hear the local Mex's speaking..especially if they believe no one around them knows Spanish..incredible..a$$holes..most of 'em.
