La Shawn Barber takes notice of 'white flight' in a Texas school district and notes the following:
If racism is holding blacks down, as Jesse Jackson would argue, shouldn’t the absence of “racist” whites in a school district (no white students or staff) improve the performance of black students? Research a few predominantly black school districts and let me know what you find.Geez almighty: when is this 'racism!!!' crap gonna stop!?!Start with the predominantly black, heavily-funded government school system in our nation’s capital. [subliminal message: Homeschool your kids!]
To me, it seems like those that scream 'racism!!!' and demand more and more concessions in the name of 'equality' are showing that they themselves are the impediment and not the victims.
Great idea, Oakland. You do your students proud.
It's stuff like The Other Mike S.

Comments on Something to Ponder
Sometimes racism does exist, but the example to which you point is the curse of egalitarianism. Equality of opportunity is the goal. Pure equality can only be achieved through dilution. Dilution destroys excellence. Loss of excellence leads to lower productivity. Lower productivity leads to poverty. What was the subject again?

Unbelievable.
They will learn that they don't have to work to better themselves. They will learn that they are different from main-stream American, and haven't been given the tools to bridge that gap. They will learn what it is like to be terminally unemployable by all but drug dealers or other rulers of the 'hood.
Great idea, Oakland. You do your students proud.

It's stuff like The Other Mike S. mentions that make more and more people want school vouchers. And if they cannot get those vouchers, they'll send their kids to private school anyway.
My daughter is entering middle school this fall (I still want to call it Junior High) and for at least one year, she'll be subject to the rather poor teaching standards that permeate her particular school. We're looking to get her into a private school ASAP. (I'd prefer one with a ROTC unit in it, but the wife says 'Hell NO!!'...)
