Vice President Joe Biden at the NAACP conference says that "Children should be educated to the degree they are educable." (July 12, 2012)

[filospinato]

Dictionary.com also defines it as:

of or pertaining to mildly retarded individuals who may achieve self-sufficiency.

Nice job, Joey. I guess if they weren’t smart enough to pick up on the condescension...

[rightsmart]

The question is who decides the educability of an individual. Is it the government?

[ken in texas]

I guess Joe could have said that we shouldn’t be niggardly with the education of children. That would have been a big hit too. /s

[green iguana]

Biden basically said “Your stupid kids don’t need to go to school”. That’s what people are ridiculing, not the use of educable.

[camle]

yeah. and soon it will be the government determining how much a person shoudl be educated to, and in what subject area...

LOL

We know they keep this clown around for a purpose.

The only thing I can come up with is Biden being
next in line for the presidency keeps 0 safe from harm.

Same with Pelousie, third in line.

"You didn't post this to make us look dumb right? Cause educable is a real word! educable [ˈɛdjʊkəbəl], educatable [ˈɛdjʊˌkeɪtəbəl] adj capable of being trained or educated; able to learn" NO, its just another idiotic statement. Biden is the poster child for the Peter Principle

RAW, unedited JB text:

“Children should be educated to the degree they are edible.”

[SaraJohnson]

Children should be educated to the degree that they’re are willing to be educated. Which is the rub: far, far too many students don’t want to put forward the effort to be educated - and if they’re not willing to be educated, their capabilities are irrelevant.

And they have a lot of support in this state of mind. Too many Union teachers have a poor work ethic and are uneducated themselves. To some teachers, education means global Marxist political and social indoctrination. They see the students as their little brain washed revolutionaries.

Plugs hasn't had an original thought in 30 years.

I'm sure he got a standing ovation from the two dozen in attendance.

[proud American in Canada]

Vice Presidents should be kept silenced to the degree in which they are utterly nonsensical.

LOL!

[dead]

What he's trying to say in Bidenspeak is that he, and other white liberals, don't really expect the same results from black people that they expect from white people.

It's the unspoken, but dominant, paternalistic view that most white liberals have towards black and hispanic people. And, inexplicably, they consider it racist when white people expect black people to be completely able to address their problems and meet their successes in life, just like they do.

George Bush called it "the soft racism of lowered expectations."

No, what this means is that the government will decide who will continue on in school and who will be left behind. Are you really comfortable with that? Kids in good school districts will continue, kids in crappy school districts, well.. you know.

[babyfreep]

Looks like ol Joe believes in only outcome-based education for his friends at the NAACP. Someone needs to remind Joe that that second “A” stands for ADVANCEMENT!

[BLOC77]

As one who has fought my local school district for several years, you are exactly right.

[Sea Parrot]

Uh oh, that is bigoted against slow learn chilluns in the inner city democrat ghetto plantations, maybe even wacist.

when i was in high school, some schmuck predicted a shortage of guidance counselors. so everybody going into career counselign was counselled into being (you guessed it) a guidance counselor.
so the next thing you know, there’s a glut of guidance counselors, adn those people who let the school decide what they should be found themselves in trouble. too much competition for too few jobs...

[catnipman]

Wow, now THAT’S a slippery slope, indeed!
