Monday evening, the Education Department issued a statement from Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that has infuriated many advocates for historically black colleges. The statement comes when many leaders of black colleges are in Washington for meetings at the White House and with Republican Congressional leaders, who have been wooing black colleges and pledging to help them.
Most of the statement is innocuous. She praises black colleges. In perhaps a sign not to expect too much money from the Trump administration, she says, "[r]ather than focus solely on funding, we must be willing to make the tangible, structural reforms that will allow students to reach their full potential." And she notes that black colleges were created when "there were too many students in America who did not have equal access to education."
But DeVos goes on to link black colleges to the issue of school choice -- a cause for which she is an advocate. "HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice," she said. "They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality. Their success has shown that more options help students flourish."

Yes, that is true. I heard that Herman Some was REALLY pist off.
You mean BLACK Rachel Dolezal?
Sorry Betsy - you’re white.
You and your white privilege are prohibited from addressing a black, brown, red, or yellow institution of higher learning.
Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of political correctness.
They are little more than Hate Whitey factories where Blacks have their heads filled with useless crap and lies. Look it up Don’t take my word. Example North Carolina Central IMMEDIATELY protested the “un”fair treatment of the Duke LaCrosse Team demanding its members be prosecuted. Grambling has graduated so few students they omit that category in reports on Southeastern colleges Grambling gave us that affirmative action fake Charles BLOW of the NYT. It goes on.

What did she say that was bad? I don’t see it...................
Nowadays TOO MANY people have access to college which is why they’ve had to dumb it down.
And she notes that black colleges were created when “there were too many students in America who did not have equal access to education.”
And this was something that infuriated people?
What the hell do they think these colleges were made for?
There are non-black students at these schools these days.
Because they are admitting students of other races in order to stay open.
Hate to say it, but all Common Core is “hate whitey (straight Christians)”.
Even your “white” public school is a “programming” (with agitprop) center.
It just is ideological subversion so embedded in the curricula parents are ignorant of it until their children are too old with all the “correct” embedded worldview of the reprobate. “Large groups of children are unsupervised children and today most children are exposed to vile child abuse and neglect and “good” children will be given their ideas which will corrupt them. Children have to be protected from reprobates (atheists, sodomites—most “teachers”).
Parents can’t figure out how their children turned out so irrational and ignorant which is the way the “publik” schools intended all along (to trap children and make them hate reading the Great Books and hate God (Christianity).......it is all designed.
(Homeschool—educate your own children as God designed and as the USA did for over 150 years. Lincoln was “schooled” only for a few months (thank goodness) of his entire life. (Group “think” institutional “care” is no think).
I’ve read about the historically black college leaders who decry affirmative action, that they’d have graduated a science major whereas the black students come out with useless black history degrees from big name colleges instead.
You don’t have the Special Liberal Decoder Ring.
Would love to know their bar passing rates.
No because they are colleges that began often in the south because whites only universities excluded people. The colleges are mostly Black because of jistory
