A radical activist who believes black students should only be taught by same-race teachers has received $20million from billionaires such as Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.

Sharif El-Mekki has lobbied for a focus on anti-racism education in public schools through his prominent nonprofit and time as an adviser to Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro, as reported by The Free Press.

A former middle and high school teacher, El-Mekki lobbies through his nonprofit, the Center for Black Educator Development, CBED, which describes its mission as a 'world where... all black students are taught by high-quality, same-race teachers...

Other donors of the foundation include NBC Universal, Nike, the Bezos Family Foundation and the University of Pennsylvania School of Education.

CBED has also secured at least $560,000 in contracts with the Philadelphia School District to 'address educational inequalities and our nation's racist history.'...

El-Mekki, who makes $233,410 a-year from the organization, comes from a family of radical activists.

His parents were also members of the Black Panthers and moved to Iran when he was in middle school after his ...mother Aisha El-Mekki converted to Islam

Failing upward.

He was principal or a charter high school school in Philadelphia 2007 to 2018. Virtually all black today.

The students there are exactly average for Philadelphia. Zero percent proficient in math, 26 percent in reading.

We watched this country desegregate in the 60’s. My new husband and I were living in an extra apartment in Chicago Theological Seminary when Jesse Jackson took over our 2 bedroom and we moved down the hall to a 1 bedroom. During the Selma March there were announcements posted on the cafeteria door telling where the marchers were and how safe everyone was. It was a time of trauma and hope and fear of how desegregation would happen and what the future would be like. NEVER would I have believed that it would end like this. Hopes and dreams just trashed.

A good idea. Not holding the smart kids back while waiting for the rest to catch up is a win/win.

An employee at the YMCA in Tallahassee told me they only hired blacks to watch the children because the black boys were not afraid of white workers. The black children would only do what they were told if they felt threatened and they knew a black would whack the hell out of them whereas a white wouldn’t. If they put a white in charge the black boys felt it was their responsibility to disobey and cause as much havoc as possible.

Probably separation of the races will result in better education for both. Further, I’s suggest separating the sexes as well. So, four different schools, one for each. Or, in blue states forty, fifty, or sixty separate schools.

Black nationalist supported by white billionaires, but somehow, white nationalism is the most evil thing since Hitler.
