Biden removes GPA requirements for TEACH grant recipients in order grant access to 'students of color'

The Biden administration announced a plan to extend tuition breaks to future teachers and do away with GPA requirements for grant recipients to increase access for students of color.

"The proposed plan also aims to increase the access that students from low-income backgrounds and students of color have to comprehensive teacher preparation,” a press release from the Education Department says.

The Department of Education oversees the Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) grant program, which administers tuition breaks to students studying to go into education so long as they agree to teach at schools in underperforming areas for at least four years.

Education Secretary Miguel Cardona announced that the grant money given to third and fourth-year students annually will double to $8,000.

So he’s saying students of color are stupid.

Yeah that’s the right idea- lower the standards for teachers. Instead of phonics and sight words the kiddos will learn ebonics and how not to write a literate sentence.

Biden calling “students of color” inferior to other humans intellectually, again. Does his racism know no bounds?

It’s obvious that what ‘underperforming’ schools need are more underperforming teachers. What great minds and ideas we are blessed with in this administration. /s

So now we can have teachers with failing GPA’s. Sounds like a great idea. And guess where these teachers will work? Yep, in school districts that already suck. Meh, what’s the difference? Not like they are teaching them anything anyway.

Paternalistic racism.

Liberal democrats help blacks because they are REAL racists and believe Blacks are inferior and unable to make the same grades as other races or even vote properly the same as any other race.

That'll solve everything. Lower standards for tuition grants for under-performing students if they promise to teach at schools in under-performing areas.

If these students can’t read, it’s because their school systems suck. This will make even worse. God help this people and this country. He’s doing nobody a favor. Just the opposite.

What stupidity! Why not set up a program for all potential teachers who have substandard grades, to give them remedial education to help them potentially qualify? Biden did not need to express his racism, to solve the problem

One wonders why blacks don’t see the hidden message, show some outrage, or are they only interested in the bennies?

In other words, now, future black teachers can be as dumb as a post, and still get a job.

Well functioning brains are no longer an unconditional requisite in order to be a teacher, at least a teacher in the Hood.

Can you imaging what the job interviews will be like?
Lots of deep sighs and subtly rolled eyes in barely concealed shock.

“Lord, have mercy! She, she couldn’t be THAT dumb! She’s putting on some kind of act to make us blurt out something rude or racist. That must be what it is. It’s a Trap!”

Over the years men of color and white have cut on me in surgery. A Chinese, a black man, a Mexican and also whites.

I did not give a damn about their color. I cared about their skills.

If Joe Biden goes to Bethesda to be cut on I assure you the person cutting is not an affirmative action doctor.

The new Biden administration rules do not require teachers to certify that they work in underserved schools after they graduate. In the past, graduates who failed to certify that they were working in underserved schools within 120 days would have their grants converted to unsubsidized loans, the press release explains.

Changing this role makes this program just another way to redistribute taxpayers’ money to Dem preferred groups

Money grab. Educate complete morons. Start these idiots into the first grade. They have no desire to educate. They want to indoctrinate. Fascism.

Yup, DemocRATs demonstrate once again that they do not think folks “of color” can hack it.
However, those of us who have actually taught them find that they do just fine when challenged.
But the rats do not want them leaving the plantation.
