President Barack Obama recently signed an executive order hiring race-sensitive bureaucrats to hold meetings and mandate racial discipline quotas.
The order charges his new racial justice team, in part, with "promoting a positive school climate that does not rely on methods that result in disparate use of disciplinary tools." In plain English, that means that if different races have different incidences of disciplinary action, those of a favored race who act worse will be punished less, or those of a disfavored race who act better will be punished more, or both. It's true that a higher percentage of black students than white students receive school discipline such as suspensions or expulsion. A recent, representative study of nearly half the country's school districts found that 17.3 percent of black students were suspended in 2009-10, whereas 4.7 percent of whites and 7.3 percent of Latinos were. Only 2.1 percent of Asians were suspended that year. The black graduation rate is 64 percent. For whites, it's 82 percent, and for Asians, it's 92 percent.

I fear that it will be white boys who will suffer the most under this rigged system. In 10 to 20 years we will have a nation of men who are so "demoralized" ( as Yuri Besmenov would say) that they will be incapable of defending themselves, their families, or our nation. And...Citizens will be utterly bewildered as to why this happened. They won't trace this change in male behavior back to 2012 and the discipline polices initiated in the government indoctrination camps ( Oops! "schools)
Conservatives should use the same methods that the Marxist/Progressives have used to undermine freedom to implode their political citadel. How?
Answer: Schooling has been the Progressive/ Marxists' **most** powerful corrosive agent eating at the crumbling foundations of freedom. Conservatives must work to close down the government K-12 schools, move children into private **conservative** schools, and get as many kids out of college as possible and in to the private world of work!
There are several ways to do this:
Let any child of **any** age take the GED or similar private exam. If they pass, immediately give them an **official** high school diploma from their local high school. Having an official diploma simplifies getting scholarships and enrollment in the military. Doing this alone would quickly empty the government schools of thousands of motivated students and immediately free them from their 13 year prison sentence in the Marxist controlled government indoctrination camps. ( Cost to the taxpayer: NOTHING!)
Charles Murray has made one of the most rational suggestions. He recommends privately administered certifiable qualifying exams for specific subjects and course work. Very little work done in the U.S. needs a college education. This is true now and historically. Certifiable qualifying exams would prove to an employer that, yes indeed, a certain level of literacy, numeracy, and general knowledge about the world has been acquired. ( Cost to taxpayer: NOTHING!)
Privately administered certifiable qualifying exams should start in the first grade. If a child proves mastery of a certain subject ( For example: Addition math facts) then he should be immediately promoted to the next level in that subject. There is already a tremendous amount of course material online. What is needed is a certifiable means ( private) to prove that the child has mastered the material. Hey! If the son of a friend of mine can take a privately administered certifiable exam to earn a Certified Public Accounting license, then surely exams could be provided to prove that a child knows the capitols of the States or third grade spelling. The more quickly the child can move through the system, the less influence his Marxist teachers will have, and the child can move into the world of work more quickly. ( Cost to taxpayer: NOTHING!)
Conservatives should **demand** that all subjects taught in the government schools are videoed and placed online. All textbooks for all courses should have copies in the local library. Hey! The taxpayer paid for it. Why all the secrecy in hiding it? This information should be available to all, at any time. Having public disclosure of government school course work would help to control the bias in the content to some extent. ( Cost to taxpayer: Minimal but worth it.)
Harvard has an endowment of $34 BILLION. Colleges and universities across this nation have endowments approaching this. If government had never interfered in the education market, it is likely that every child in this nation ( possibly every child in the world) would now have access to a FREE and **privately** funded K-12 education due to generous endowments.
So!...Conservatives, set up education foundations now. Give grants to the individual teachers. She/he could set up one room schools; dame schools in the home of the teacher, schools in existing day care centers, and many community theaters and dance, gymnastics, and karate studios could be centers for private K-12 schooling. The private foundations would certify the teacher, test the students, and provide community wide art, theater, and music programs. ( Cost to taxpayer: NOTHING!)
Vouchers, tax credits, and charters can help build a private infrastructure, **but**, conservative must constantly push for the parents to take on more and more of the responsibility of paying for their own child's education. The eventual goal should be complete separation of school and state.
Finally, privatize all team sports and all supporting activities, or move them to the county departments of recreation. Government school team sports in this nation, unfortunately, provide a lot of "rah rah" support in the voting booth for the Progressive/Marxist government schools. Pull the plug on government school sports!
Hussein is a nut.
A dangerous nut!
A new TSA Agent Recruiting plan?
Our Congress is largely made up of cowardly weasels who sit idly by, slurping at the trough, while the nation is ruled by and illegal alien!
that asshole has to go this election, I don’t care if you like Romney or not, he wouldn’t put out such racist crap..
The Roman senate was like that too. It served almost no purpose, yet the senate endured for centuries while the emperors did as they pleased.
Great ideas. I haven’t been able to figure out why you have to be a certain age to get a GED - my homeschooled kids could easily pass it now and we could stop jumping through hoops for the state.
But can’t this racist EO be undone with the stroke of a pen when he is voted out of office?
At this point, though, I'm not certain our society won't just implode with a whimper.
WTF is he doing signing Executive Orders everytime he turns around?? Get this racist illegal alien out of office NOW b4 he messes up our Mother Country even more!
Does Mittens have the guts?
How does this executive order not violate the equal protection clause of the Constitution?

“The Department of Education has launched investigations of at least five school systems because of their disparate black-white discipline rates. The Department of Justice has already put the Barnwell, South Carolina, school district under a costly consent decree, complete with a pricey outside consultant, and is seeking similar control of other districts. The theory behind this school discipline push is what Obama officials and civil rights advocates call the “school-to-prison pipeline.” According to this conceit, harsh discipline practices—above all, suspensions—strip minority students of classroom time, causing them to learn less, drop out of school, and eventually land in prison.”
Racial affirmative action discipline.
They will be letting the black kids get away with murder while punishing whites for chewing gum.
Thats what real racism looks like folks.
Go ahead stay home and don’t vote for Romney. 4 more years of this mother trucker in the White House and we will no longer be a free country.
No, no, no.
We need to stop applying Hanlon’s Razor to this man, “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
Barack Obama is not stupid, he is not inept, he is not incompetent. He is a malicious traitor to the Republic. A criminal that needs to be dragged in front of a judge and sent to prison for the rest of his life.
You know what he is like?
Ever watch any TV shows that feature the company from Maryland, CDI? The company that uses precisely metered explosive charges to implode buildings?
They are a really sharp family - they are every bit as much artists as they are engineers.
But what makes what they do so fascinating is that it takes months and months of planning and weeks of preparation before they push the BIG RED BUTTON.
Then the building just melts away in a cloud of pulverized concrete. If you just happened by at the time of the implosion you would have no idea how much time and effort went into what you just saw.
Key to the success of CDI is knowing how to structurally weaken the building such that it will still stand while they prepare it, but will not bear up when small shapes charges are applied to the remaining weight bearing structure.
And that is exactly, in a political sense, what the progressives, lead by Barry Soetoro have been doing - weakening our structure such that when a small explosive is precisely applied, the entire building implodes. That is what he means when he says ‘fundamentally transform the United States’. He realizes that in order to rebuild that which he finds so abhorrent, he needs to destroy the structure that is currently in place.
Ask yourself - what traditional societal mores have not come under attack from progressives in the past century. Time does not permit me to itemize these but suffice it to say that progressives want to make sure that taxpayers are paying for the abortions of registered voter, illegal alien, gay couples. And if you disagree, you're a hater.
Barack Hussein Obama is the Cloward-Piven president. If you value your liberty and freedom, note well that it is about to be ripped from you by these traitors if he somehow defies the odds and gets reelected.
That is what history teaches. And history is rarely peaceful.
“Great ideas. I haven’t been able to figure out why you have to be a certain age to get a GED - my homeschooled kids could easily pass it now and we could stop jumping through hoops for the state.”
It is not uncommon for some kids to skip two - three grades. Contact your state education commission and find out the criteria for public school multiple grade promotions. Start there. You see kids graduating HS at 14 and 15 years old. Find the criteria from the state then give it a go. Good Luck.
“School to prison” pipeline.Goes a lot further back than that. Try “birth canal to prison” pipeline. The culture has to change not the schools. No amount of mandated discrimination vs other cultures is going to fix a disfunctional culture of children born out of wedlock in a environment where education is not appreciated.
