I don't know what's been going on in DISD for the last several years when it comes to educating black students, but for some reason the kids are increasingly performing worse than Hispanic and white students.

DISD has begun to realize that black students are falling way behind and has implemented measures to address the problem, including a math initiative geared towards black students. DISD and outside groups also are providing mentoring-type programs for young black males.

Blacks think that Islam is a part of their African heritage. Never mind that the historical truth that the Arabs enslaved more Africans than the Europeans ever did, because it was a practice that has been going on since the time of Abraham. They never wonder why there are so few black Arabs. That’s because the black males were cut/worked to death like mules. But also because the number taken into slavery each year was relatively few compared with the Atlantic trade. Nor do they realize that there are more black Christians in Africa than Muslims. Nor do they realize that Ethiopia was Christian long before Mohammed. In short, they listen to the false history of Islam.

You miss the point. Islam will free the Blacks from the oppressive western Eurocentric civilization.

The sad truth is they (a large percentage) fight education and win. As long as blacks consider education to be a “white” thing they never will improve their skills.

No, I see that. Blacks such as the Reverend Wright teach that western civilization is uniquely oppressive. Never mind that western civilization was the first to abolish slavery in Africa, or that an important reason for doing this is that under a capitalist system, slavery has limited utility. The crux of the matter was that during the 19th Century, Western civilization came to dominate the world in an unprecedented way. It crushed the despotic regimes in Turkey, India and China, and influenced others to adopt western matters. Westerners have not been forgiven for that.

Oh, I can see that you have a lot of catching up to do on education.

First, they plan to create a public school preschool to equalize the preschool experience between the underprivileged and the rest of the country. We wouldn’t want the white kids learning to read before they start school, now would we?

Then, they plan to do away with special education classification, putting the alcohol and impaired kids back into the regular classroom, putting the gifted kids into that same classroom, because they figure that the gifted kids will fend for themselves.

Next they include some classes in cultural diversity and ethnic studies, as well as political activism under the guise of involving the community in the school system.

They finish it off by making 11th and 12th grades optional. In WA state, it is just 12th grade that they want to be optional. The under performing students will be sent to trade schools or put directly into union apprenticeships.

Finally, they want to privatize all scholarships and grant money for state colleges and universities through private foundations, like the Woods Foundation in Chicago, that Obama and Ayres operated.

Today, I heard that the state of WA wanted everyone to receive a Bachelor’s degree and require that jobs that previously required Bachelor’s degrees, now require an MA. Of course, it was announced a few weeks ago that Arnie Duncan wants to eliminate the pay differential for teachers with MA degrees.

There’s so much more to this, that I would have to write a book to explain it.

Here’s a link to the Politico that contains another link to the WA PO op-ed by Arne Duncan. Read it and come back with your questions. This is so important because it will influence the whole future of the country.

My guess is the continuing destruction of black families owing to the lack of fathers. Black women need to be looking for husbands from another race.

You assume that the problem is with black men rather than with black women. Black women control what happens with the family. If they want husbands, they must be willing to be wives.

It is not PC to talk about the Arab slave trade. Looking to get banned?

Education is one of my interests. I follow it closely. I've been following Obama and the Arnie Duncan education moves since before Obama was elected.

ere is a link to an early WSJ story:

Obama and Ayers push radicalism on schools

The Chicago Small Schools project was abandoned last year, because it wasn't working and it was counter intuitive to the overall goals of the federal education system. The goal is to bring down the white education levels to the level of the minorities, not completely bring them down, but to devalue the diploma and make the college diploma equal to the old high school diploma and an MA equal to the BA. They think by lowering the standards, and handing out diplomas for less work, they are leveling the playing field. It's a kind of head start program for minority high school students. Part of the program is to have a public preschool, all kids start school at three years old. This will help prevent white kids from learning to read before kindergarten and catch learning disabilities in minority students for early intervention. WA State is already taking steps to implement these programs, by putting an appointed official in charge of education that will tell the elected official what to do. They are already moving toward public school preschool, too. The public school preschool would be all day, so it takes the kids out of the homes for longer periods of time and will probably be popular with parents who need day care and don't send their kids to private preschools.

Nothing is going to make them re-consider the misconceptions of muslims and dems, sort of like the first semi-tame dogs hanging around the campfire hoping for some scraps or a dropped morsel while getting to spend most of their time laying around or sniffing one another. Risking admonishment on FR, it might be realistic to consider their’s a culture that topped out long before the muslim culture topped out in 800 AD.

Most who look for a white mate will want to be a wife. Of course, nowadays, fewer women of all races want to be wives.

Right. Being removed from the home environment to a public school environment is beneficial to many black infants, not so much to white infants.

Yep, that’s the plan.Level the playing field, move the goal post and aim for a tie. The goal is an equal outcome, not equal opportunity.
