“The ONE thing a future conservative government could to help this country is to cut off any and all grants, contracts, financial assistance it currently gets.”
The one thing a future conservative government could do to help this country is forgive student loans and make the colleges and universities refund the government for the defaulted loans.
I got wealthy from 50 years of hard work.
“Foundation gives Harvard $5 million to study ‘wealth inequality’...”
Some “wealthy person” at the foundation provided a bunch of money????
Hmmmm...??
I am not in favor of ‘forgiving’ ANY student loans. If the students think they got a bad deal let them sue the colleges, tech schools and universities where they got their worthless education from.
Geez, that’s a bigger age gap than Muhammad & Aisha!
What’s to study? I thought the answer was obvious! Take Whitey’s money, and then move him to the recycle bin. Give his money to the people who blame him for their failures. That’ll cure the problem! (< / s>)
They had the lowest rate of turning in homework and projects, and often the lowest scores on tests. They also paid far more attention to their cell phones than to any lesson. I often remarked it was too bad I wasn't giving tests on how to surf the internet or watch movies on cell phones instead of how nerve cells transmitted impulses or why a complex food chain was more stable than a simple one.
The black students were also the first ones in a new academic year to act out, year after year. It was quite predictable. At parent-teacher night, either they had no one show up, or it was their grandmother, aunt, or even a sibling. It was very obvious, witnessing how they harassed and ridiculed anyone who was academically serious and tried to excel, calling them an Uncle Tom, an oreo, etc. that they had an established anti-academic subculture. Unfortunately, only a few students successfully resisted and went on to excel.
The professional agitator and grifter Al Sharpton and his like gave them a blanket excuse for poor performances on tests: it be "racist". They didn't fail tests because they were out partying or getting high instead of studying for them. No, they failed because the tests were "racist". I never knew that naming the four chambers of the heart, explaining why bones are not made of solid material, or discussing the differences between plant and animal cells was racist.
There was also a serious problem with girls becoming pregnant and thus pretty much sealing their fate to a life of poverty, with very few exceptions.
Have I covered all the reasons for black poverty, fellow educators?
The reality of what was done here is so absurd and devoid of making sense I can’t even figure out how to fully describe it.
$5 million that could have been donated to a job training program or something else worthwhile to help people earn a living was instead given for a “study” of wealth inequality.
Why not call it the study of “lazy bones vs. go getters”
Asians come here and end up owning businesses. Go getters. Many illegals actually want to work. We legal immigration, but still, many if not most want to work.
Then there’s the ones who are here, addicted to welfare, drugs, sex, and what ever else who don’t want to work...”Lazy bones”....
Call it what it really is fools.......
I have a science PhD from the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
I know that the Harvard Kennedy School is not one of the best schools at Harvard. So this bogus program on “inequality” is par for the course at the Kennedy School.
My guess is family money. Jim Stone may be related to Justice Harlan Fiske Stone who passed away in 1946.
So many things wrong with that..
