Obama Demands Race-Based School Discipline/ ( War on White Boys)
The American Thinker ^ | August 25,2012 | Joy Pullman

Posted on 08/25/2012 2:21:22 PM PDT by wintertime

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.

They will be letting the black kids get away with murder while punishing whites for chewing gum. Thats what real racism looks like folks.

You're right Venturer - that IS what real racism looks like... it's ugly as sin. And supported by liberal elites...

Murders are the one thing that completely destroy the Leftist narrative of racist enforcement. When there’s a body left behind from the act, it’s hard to ignore the criminal behavior.

That behavior gets started early on, and this move by Obama winks at precursor criminal behavior.

Accuplacer

That solves the scholarship issue and accessing higher education. That is certainly a plus for the students in your state. Do many government schooled children take advantage of this opportunity? What about homeschoolers?

What about joining the military? Are they discriminated against for not having an official high school diploma?

Not as far as I know. I just pay for a transcript of our work and credits are attached.

European children are reported to have higher academic achievement (math, english, science, art, music) than US kids.

Do you think that perhaps that is because, in almost all of Europe, the money is attached to the child - parents decide which school the children should go to. If parents believe their child to be musically inclined, they send the school that emphasizes music (or art, or science/math, etc.)

In other words ... vouchers are the solution.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It depends: Yes and No

Yes, vouchers will be the solution if they can be a means to building a private infrastructure.

Yes, vouchers may be a solution if the direction is toward parents taking more and more responsibility for paying for their own children's education and moving toward eventual separation of school and state.

No, voucher will not be a solution if strings are attached making private schools into government controlled schools.

No, vouchers will not be a solution if they lead to tuition inflation as has happened with college student loans and Pell Grants.

White offense: Mickey D’s bag falls from book bag on school grounds. Punishment: 3 days suspension.

Black offense: Bustin a cap in honky’s a$$ on school grounds. Punishment: 3 days suspension.

See, it’s all same-same.

It has long been clear that this administration seeks to add a White vs. non-white component to the coming conflict. They are so predictable, as marxists always are. This administration and their lackeys really think they want a race war in the USA.

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.”

I guess the little shits ought to stop screwing off in class, then. Call me what you will, but I saw it when I was growing up in a small, southern Missouri town; I saw it again in EVERY school or class I attended during 20 years in the Army; I saw it when St. Louis City bused their youths out to my sister's and brother's school district; and I see it again with my kids because St. Louis City STILL buses their youths out to our school district. In general, negroes have zero respect for education or anyone who values it, and their classroom behavior mirrors their behavior in other circumstances.

"Also in the EO as an objective: (ii) increasing the percentage of African American children who enter kindergarten ready for success by improving their access to high-qual- ity programs and services that enable early learning and development of children from birth through age 5."

In other words, more free stuff for non-whites paid for by--you guessed it--hard-working Whites. Congratulations, America, you are paying for your own apartheid.

Yeah, Obama is going to bring everyone together. Do me a favor, bring back the riots. Then we all will know how to handle the situation.

A lot of this can be attributed to illegitimacy. A child with a two-parent family is on a “success” track, more or less; but a child raised by a single parent is on a “survival” track. Statistically 60% more likely to be incarcerated.

The single factor of sex outside of marriage, for many reasons, may likely wipe out most slave-descended black Americans. Self extermination. Importantly, increasing numbers of African immigrants, who do not suffer from these bad behaviors, conceal the decline, because they are combined in the statistics.

Personally, I have heard African immigrant blacks describe S-D blacks as “animals”.

Simple. Affirmative action has been established as satisfying equal protection.

The Executive Order is at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-08-01/pdf/2012-18868.pdf

The bit in question is “[Objectives include] promoting a positive school climate that does not rely on methods that result in disparate use of discipli- nary tools”.

A lot of this can be attributed to illegitimacy.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

What does three generations of GODLESS, single-payer, and socialist-entitlement k-12 indoctrination produce? Answer: Illegitimacy and many other social pathologies.

The causes of cultural change are not usual as evident a pushing the first domino in a long line of dominoes. No. It is more like Rube Goldberg. Push level A, and a ball rolls and falls in to slot G. This triggers pulley J and out comes Z.

So?...Why the illegitimacy? It likely due to a number of factors but large factory-like government schooling is likely a **major** factor.

It only took one to three generations of citizens schooled in government socialist-entitlement schools to produce a nation of voters comfortable enough with socialism to give us Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Then came the 1950s and 1960s. One room schools across the nation were shut down. Districts were consolidated. Huge factory-size schools were build ( probably supported by those who love team sports)....and...God was scrubbed clean from the curriculum

Lever A: 1850s and compulsory government schooling
Lever G Fabian socialists take over key posts in the nation's universities
Lever J: Marxist train teachers and write curriculum
Lever L: Marxists infiltrate the government and media in the 1930s
Lever S: School districts are consolidated
Lever W: God is removed from the curriculum

Result: Illegitimacy and many other political socialist and cultural evils.

Yet....Walter Williams reports that in his inner city Philadelphia schools there was none of this social pathology?

Walter Williams must be in his late seventies by now. So?....What’s going on?

Whatever it is, godless, single-payer, socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling is likely a major contributor.

Any father would allow his son to attend a government school is not rational.

And...It is equally irrational to allow a daughter to attend.
