I don’t know about becoming Rhodes Scholars, but black kids really do need to have all black teachers and faculty-this is what thwy themselves are saying when they say that only black teachers can understand how to deal with black children. My only caveat is that, that will work two ways. If only black teachers can understand black kids, then it only makes sense that only white teachers can understand white kids, and we should proceed accordingly.
And after the Kansas City School District billion-dollar boondoggle, at the expense of the taxpayers who moved their families to safer, higher-scoring schools which didn’t receive all those billion dollar amenities (they just paid for them for the majority black district), I don’t want to hear a word about “separate but unequal”. The only thing that’s “unequal” is that white taxpayers paid billions of dollars for the majority black schools to have Olympic size swimming pools with underwater viewing areas, while the majority white schools had to hold bake sales to pay for their students’ extracurricular activities (after paying the billions in taxes for more than world-class amenities for the majority black schools). Even after all that, the scores of the majority black schools didn’t rise, and just a couple of years ago, a lot of the schools had to be closed-billions of dollars, down the toilet.
"Common core" is about equalizing education. It's not fair that black students have an average IQ of 85. It gives higher-IQ kids an unfair advantage. The solution is to stop teaching reading, writing and arithmetic and start teaching global warming and social justice instead.
