PATHETIC

[Mrs. Don-o]

Somebody tell me why this isn’t institutional racism.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Michael Gerson would be so proud?

[Gay State Conservative]

I assume that 95% across the board would somehow be racist.

Well, the math quotas might be working. Monique could count 6 Obamaphones she was hording in her purse, plus 30 more Obamaphones at home, and could calculate that it took 5 minutes to get each new phone.

Woman hoards "30" Government Life line phones or Obama phones

[A CA Guy]

Get the unions out of teaching and do the dam job.

[HangnJudge]

This is just wrong at too many levels

Unless, one predicates that genetic predilection for
superior or inferior cognitive skills are a rational concept,
but I thought that one was buried long ago

Imagine the uproar that would occur if
gender disparities were institutionalized

[jjw]

racists

[doc1019]

This is so outrageous as to be almost unbelievable. All, and I mean all, goals should be based on potential not race. If nothing else, this is telling some groups that they are so stupid that they need help making the grade.

I equate this to signs that are in English and Spanish ... tells those of Hispanic origin that they are to stupid to understand English. Why not signs with every language on earth?

[Licensed-To-Carry]

Democrats should just go ahead and give blacks 20 acres and a mule.

[stylin19a]

I can't find the metrics on this.

Different passing grades for whites vs. blacks vs. Hispanics ?

[Uncle Miltie]

Paging Abigail Thernstrom!

[Gamecock]

The plan has infuriated many community activists in Palm Beach County and across the state.

Community activists? What does the POTUS think?

[sarasmom]

Florida is a “right to work” state.

Government employees are the only large unions in this entire state.

I now understand why my local Superintendent of Schools suddenly announced her immediate retirement.

Fire every damn one of these FDOE assholes!

[chessplayer]

The racism of low expectations. Liberal nirvana.

[adorno]

Well, it seems that the way to make everybody equal, is to make blacks feel very deficient and incapable, while Asians become the superior race. White and Hispanics should feel somewhat superior to blacks, but not by much.

Essentially, the way to make blacks feel better about themselves, is to call them mentally deficient. Nice!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The Florida State Board of Education passed a plan that sets goals for students in math and reading based upon their race.

But don't you dare call any race inferior.

[Think free or die]

I teach in an urban, racially mixed high school. Many of our students are from African or Asian families while others are from families that have been here for generations. It makes me angry to see the low academic achievement of many of these kids. I'm dealing with 15 or 16 year old students who read at a mid-elementary school level. They don't have the capacity to read textbooks or write coherent sentences, let alone understand high school science. They've been done a terrible disservice by a community that cossets them and promotes them from grade to grade when they haven't learned even the most basic skills. Most of them plan to go to college. I expect that with AA programs, they'll be accepted somewhere, given grants or loans to pay for it, and end up with diplomas and government jobs.

Most of the youngsters from Asian or African immigrant families are working their backsides off to get ahead. I have honors students who have only been in the country a few years but they're making headway, learning, and achieving. Big, big contrast. These kids simply don't accept a lower standard for themselves. I wish all our students would follow their example.
