I had a teacher tell me privately and off the record that he didn’t want the kids in his majority black school to have vocational education. His reason?
Paraphrasing him, “They are already freaking nuts and dangerous to boot! And you want to teach them how to run machinery that will let them build better weapons! You’re completely nuts too.”
Well it was eye opening and educational to learn how he really felt.
Except for the Black girls who go votech and into cosmetology. If you can master expert weaves, you WILL make great money. Lesser skilled can do nails (as racial preferences make Asian owned salons less preferable).
