I’ve got a brilliant idea? Why not tell the black kids to study?
and even earlier....dont share your DOPE with em!!
Racist! /s
Bush’ fault.
Political correctness forbids us from having the guts to have honest discussions about race.
In the area of education, we aren’t allowed to talk about how doing well is derided as “acting white” by many black students. We’re not allowed to talk about many of their parents do not value educational achievement. We’re not allowed to talk about how critical numbers of black children are being raised in less than ideal circumstances. We’re not allowed to talk about how many inner city schools are in disrepair because blacks themselves commit vandalism and theft against the properties.
We’re not allowed to talk about the fact that many big city school systems already spend more per capita than the national average, so that simply demanding more money or resources isn’t the answer. We’re not allowed to talk about how the lack of discipline, both at home and in school, inhibits the educational process with these students.
I would appreciate a good solid discussion of how to deal with the problems in inner city schools, and lack of achievement of black students as a group, but as noted, there are a number of areas which are simply taboo to discuss as part of any discussion.
That is too white. They will have none of it.
