I wouldn’t be surprised at all. Most liberals think minorities are completely unable to compete on their own, and insist on treating them like dummies.
I hope Doudou from the UN has this on his itinerary.
"..."I think some of the teachers think we are inferior, so expectations play into it as well," Shelly said. "They have very low expectations for our kids at this school in particular. When you have your daughter in a school system that considers her different and they consider her heritage to be inferior, they pass that on to your child."
Then there is this, which completely plays into their hands:
"...Shelly said the fact that the school doesn't offer different types of teaching for different races and cultures is racism...."
This woman wants it both ways. She doesn't realize if you do it their way, it is the bargain with the devil. That is, if you want special classes for you culturally dissimilar children, you have to take with that class the assumption that your kids are too stupid to make it on their own merits. You cannot have it both ways, lady.
“And they say the school refuses to alter its teaching to take into account cultural learning differences that contribute to the achievement gap nationwide.”
# 1 problem in schools today.
a special interest group is turning on a special interest champion ...
now Berkeley will soon learn that enough is NEVER enough for the entitlement crowds
Treating them the same is racism and treating them differently is racism. Not bussing them is racism and bussing them is racism. Not giving them special classes to bridge "the achievement gap" is racist and thinking there is an achievement gap is racist.
What a load of carp!!!
Seriously, I had to check the date on this article because I thought it was one of those, "this day in 1968", kind of deals.
I'm getting pretty sick of black parents whining about issues that are red herring's. It makes them look ignorant and foolish!!
Guilty white liberal racists. Say it isn't so.
“treating them the same is racism and treating them differently is racism”
The fact is, that “minorities” in todays culture will always look to blame someone else. There can be no personal responsibility as far as they are concerned.
And just exactly what are the cultural differences that evidently put black kids at a disadvantage?
If they only taught Ebonics!
Maybe grades are racist?
Shelly said the fact that the school doesn’t offer different types of teaching for different races and cultures is racism.
“They don’t even entertain an interest in having different curriculum,”
No ‘Rap 101?’
No ‘Understanding Gang Signs’
No ‘Taggin’ instructions in the Art Class?
These are the dumbest “civil rights activists” on Earth. MLK is rolling in his grave right now.
Now now there are some people of a minority background who don’t complain at all. Of course, this is mostly because they are exceptionally talented and have no failures to speak of. No failures to complain, no desire to blame.
“now Berkeley will soon learn that enough is NEVER enough for the entitlement crowds”
....no, it’s not...and basically their demands will make things even worse on them....whites pull their kids out and next time there’s a school bond issue on the ballot they vote it down...in Charlotte NC where my wife is from, the schools are down to 38% white now....whites figure the $1 billion annual school budget is enough, so make it work....besides they’re already paying for private school.
LOL.”Oxford Elementary Principal Janet Levenson said she is hurt by the charges...[but]i’m not giving up.”That’s the spirit Janet!Spoken like a true libtard.Forgot who said it but very appropriate:”Insanity-doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results each time.”
What? They don’t have ESL? (ebonics as a second language)
