Definitely - this is systemic communism being installed in all our schools.

Less than 2 years since the summer of love demanded it.

Face it folks - the war is on.

The state of New York recently passed a law requiring prospective school teachers to take a literacy test to get their license, but repealed it the following year because 36 percent of whites failed the test on the first try, while 54 percent of Hispanics and 59 percent of blacks failed.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/13/nyregion/ny-regents-teacher-exams-alst.html

In other words the State of New York is knowingly putting a large number of illiterate teachers in classrooms.

I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that Illinoize has even more illiterate government school teachers than New York.

That’s why they don’t bother with actual teaching and spend all their time on Communist indoctrination.

“Equity” is dog-whistle for “Kill Whitey.”

All of this is just going to make home schooling and private schools that more highly subscribed to.

I must say that I *love* the concept of "equity". "Equity" doesn't guarantee equal opportunity,which I vigorously support,it guarantees equality of outcome.

"Equity" means that I,a white guy who can't run,can't jump and can't shoot,will be able to get a $20 million a year contract from the NBA over those black guys who *can* run,jump and shoot because whites represent about 70% of the country's population

It would depend on what 'outcomes' are the objectives.

And those objectives would probably be set very low to accommodate the larger majority of students.

Are those academic objectives or social objectives?

This sounds like more leftist/liberal gobbledygook.

Illinois conservatives are welcome to move to Florida and out of the growing progressive/commie spreading hellhole.

In Florida it’s against the law to teach CRT in public schools.

Oh, and Liberal filth would not be comfortable in Florida - they should stay where they are...

Just gurantee another generation of ignorant people.

The parents that want their child to succeed will do what ever it takes to see their child is educated.

For those of you who don’t know, this was basically the idea behind Ted Kennedy’s ‘No Child Left Behind’ fiasco. (Yes, I know, GW Bush signed it in the spirt of ‘bipartisanship’, but it was Teddy’s last poke in America’s eye.)

It worked like this; every year, every public school was tested to see how many students scored ‘proficient’ or above in reading and math. Every year the standards for passing were raised, every third year the standards for passing were raised a lot.

For a school district to pass, every school in the district had to pass.

For a school to pass, every identifiable group in the school had to pass. Identifiable groups included every possible racial or ethnic group imaginable, limited English speakers, free/reduced lunch kids, boys, girls, and special ed kids. If one group failed to meet the standard, the school failed, and if one school in the district failed the district failed.

Anyone who understands anything about life and human beings knows that there is no way to reach 100% of everyone being ‘proficient’ at anything, let alone reading and math—and that was the ultimate goal of NCLB before it was abandoned, because finally people saw that it was impossible. It took at least a decade before enough were willing to say out loud what was obvious from the start.

When the proficiency goals were at 30% or so, states started to lower the standard for ‘proficient’ and schools and districts started to cheat, with teachers filling in the correct answers.

This will end up the same way. When certain identifiable groups are found not to be able to ‘meet the standards’, the schools involved will be browbeaten, the standards lowered and after the passage of time, the program will be abandoned only to be replaced by a newer program that refuses to acknowledge the reality of the bell-shaped curve.

There is only one way to achieve full equity—all whites and Asians will need a final solution.

School districts will have to be graded on a white and Asian body count.

So do the white kids start wearing their pants below the butt and knocking out old folks, or will the black kids study, learn, and show some respect for the teachers? I’m thinking this foolish notion of “equity” only works in one direction. Why allow this?

The year 2081 isn’t that far away..

Kurt vonnegut was a prophet...

“THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren’t only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General.”

Here’s the full text of Harrison Bergeron...
