A San Francisco school board member apologized Tuesday after she made a racist statement, saying one of the biggest challenges in educating Black and brown students was their “unstable family environments” and “lack of parental encouragement to focus on learning.”

Here are the facts:

What race has the highest single parent rate? In 2016-20, the share of families headed by single parents was 75% among African American families, 61% among Hispanic families, 39% among white families and 23% among Asian families.

What was said that was racist?

[logi_cal869]

I will not be judged racist by closet racists who judge by critique of actual facts with honest statements.

There is no job/position worthy of the indignation and I’m prepared to be unemployed and/or jailed for my response to such accusations.

More of us should be prepared to be jailed; it’s the only message these asshat, domestic enemy activists understand.

Reminds me of the men who came up with the Bell Curve - a graph supported by scientific fact and the men had to apologize for it.

Heh, another true statement being labeled “racist”.
When one uses “racist”, or “phobic”, you can rest assured that the speaker is a lying idiot.

Solving the problem is not among their goals. The farthest thing from it.

Only WHITES can be criticized

You are right. That is exactly the point, and you make very succinctly.

TRUTH IS NEVER RACIST

OK I admit that I only read the excerpt. Nothing racist there.

I guess I must click through to find out what she said was actually racist?
