[history]
When the New Jersey Education Association posted a brochure, "Getting Involved in Your Child's School," on its Web site about a year ago, it offered three versions, named "A parent's resource," a "Spanish version" and the "African-American version."
The NJEA, the state's largest teachers union, has removed that last heading, apologizing for an embarrassing lapse in judgment after questions were raised about the purpose of offering one version for African-Americans, another for other English speakers.

How blatant can they be??? They also assume the hispanics are too lazy to learn English when they make a special brochure just for them.

If I was a black, I'd be getting my kids out of those schools ASAP. You know with that attitude toward the parents, they must believe the children can't be taught much either.

I like this version better. It's more intellectual...and makes you appreciate the
english language.
Why do teachers need my help?" says: "Today, there is an increasing emphasis on individualized instruction-fitting the curriculum to the child. Teachers want to employ new methods and materials to give each child personal guidance. When you assist teachers with growing paperwork, make instructional materials or conduct a science experiment, you give them more time for planning activities, for trying new teaching strategies and for working directly with children."

GOOD JOB.......
Those of you whove read my past columns know I firmly believe some liberals believe black people are intellectually inferior. Thats why they fight so hard for programs like Affirmative Action that justifies their sentiment (and pity) that blacks need an extra push since theyre just too damn stupid to make it on their own. Well, guess what? Even though the Jersey teachers union tried to hide it, but the truth is out there.

Yeah, to do it right they needed to put an "ebonics" version in the jive vernacular of the bro's & sistah's. There's a jive version of the Bible out there, but dat be cool man cause' it be written by a sistah. Some white, do-gooder liberal probably wrote this NJ thing, thinking he/she was helpin' d bro's & sistah's out. No harm however; nothing that a few million NJ taxpayer dollars (reparations) deposited into Jesse Jackson's personal bank account or Al Sharpton's presidential campaign fund won't correct.

I'll get the book, thanks.
>>>The federal curriculum seems to be nothing more than further dumbing down of American children, and turning them into malleable clay for the state's grasping hands to mold.>>>
"Every child is our child."
- Motto of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF)
According to Hillary Rodham Clinton, "There is no such thing as other people's children."
Mrs. Clinton is promoting a doctrine that is much more dangerous than financial fraud: parens patriae, the "parenthood of the state."
Something the Communists and the UN states.
>>>As a specific example, he cites language from HR6 authorizing the Secretary of Education to carry out a program educating students on U.S. history. The program created to accomplish this is called "We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution," and it is to be administered by the Center for Civic Education. CCE is a ongovernmental, nonprofit organization -- unaccountable to the voters whose tax funds support their allegedly educational efforts.>>>>
So, it looks like "W" is part of the problem and not the solution, he and his good Education Friend, Ted "the swimmer" Kennedy, keep on pumping billions into the DOE. I'm with Reagan the real republican, get rid of the DOE. What ever happened to the "Gore Tax", I'm still paying it in a republican administration.
