Syracuse mayor appoints Nation of Islam leader to city’s school board [ New York]
EAGnews ^ | January 9, 2015 | Victor Skinner

Syracuse’s Nation of Islam representative Mark Muhammad will join the city’s school board at the mayor’s request

...

Muhammad’s ties to the Nation of Islam – he’s Louis Farrakhan’s local representative – that have some questioning how the group’s radical views on education and race will play into his new role.

And it doesn’t appear that they will get any easy answers.

A Post-Standard reporter questioned Muhammad about his affiliation with the Nation of Islam, and how the group’s beliefs, such as the needed segregation of black and white students, will guide his leadership.

...

he doesn’t want the public to focus on the Nation of Islam’s controversial views, or his close relationship with Farrakhan, who has been described as “anti-Semitic” and “anti-white” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

...

Farrakhan and his followers like Muhammad believe America must return to the “separation” of races by giving blacks “millions of acres of land.”

They believe “you’ll see the end (of the white race) by 2050,” Farrakhan said

Isn’t this a bit like appointing the KKK leader to a school board?

“.... how the group’s beliefs, such as the needed segregation of black and white students....”

We need to make a better effort at framing issues.

The mayor of Syracuse appointed a segregationist to the School Board.

Leave out the part about how quickly a white segregationist would be booted off the board. Those arguments, while true, never help an argument.

Segregation has no place in our society. Anyone believing in segregation has no place on a school board. Leave it at that.

Instead of taking on the left as a whole, we need to start taking on each individual issue, framed using the same terms the left uses. (Except for racist—a term which has lost its true meaning).

It will be even worse if the school board has the power to let contracts. Look for money to go missing, fraud, and contracts going to NOI entities.

Apparently not the cities like Syracuse, Albany, Rochester, and Buffalo.

And don't forget - - - Ithaca, the City of Evil!

Mugabe did this in Zimbabwe.

The lazy socialist / communist thugs killed the milk cows = then cried that there was no milk.

White farmers who worked hard with farming knowledge were killed or driven off.

Farms went barren as the socialists did not know how to farm , were to lazy to learn how to farm, etc.

So appointing black supremacists/separatists in the MMM/NOI (who were denounced by MLK) is okay but supposedly making a speech before white supremacists (were they really neo-Nazis, the neo-Nazis oppose the GOP’s platform) is bad.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a group of Civil Rights lawyers has listed the Nation of Islam as a HATE GROUP. Their leader Louis Farrakhan has promoted hatred against white people and Jews for decades. How do the good people of Syracuse sit back and say nothing?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

You are dead wrong about Buffalo.

That town is seriously white power, Allentown PA is too.
