Parents rip into DOE, say
NYC has failed black students

Original Article

A growing legion of black parents in Queens say the Department of Education has failed their kids through mismanagement and neglect—fueling an exodus out of the public school system. Fed-up families in District 29—a primarily black area which includes Hollis, Rosedale, and Cambria Heights—said the DOE has long tolerated abysmal math and English proficiency rates, despite high per-student spending.(Snip) Despite spending roughly $27,000 per student, PS 134 in Hollis saw only 6 percent of 5th graders pass their 2019 state math proficiency test and 17 percent hit that minimal mark in English. The DOE spent nearly the same amount at PS 156

Comments:

Who but other black people run those schools and teach the classes because they insist that only black people can teach black kids? Who proudly derides learning as "acting WHITE," and attacks students who try? Who refuses all discipline and assaults teachers who want productive classroom time? Who says it's abusive to not advance them to the next grade? Nothing is ever the fault of black people, wherever in the world they may be, so there are no solutions here.

Yes, these parents are right. Until they get rid of the Marxist Demonrat bureaucrats and the teacher's unions, the schools will remain worthless leftist brainwashing centers which harm their children, not help them.

DOE has failed EVERY child educated in the public skool system since its inception. It is the single most insidious thing inflicted upon the American public, and has resulted in at least two full generations of brain-addled, stupid, woke, participation-trophy expecting dimwits, who are now rising to leaderships roles all over America.

Well that's a start. What took you so long? Now when are you gonna call out that clan talk that getting the right answer is "white?" Bc that is what progressives think. While you're at it maybe you could protest the progressive encouragement of poc to commit crimes and resist arrest. Maybe you could protest the bolshevic race war that is leveraging policing of violent crimes in minority communities, which begets MORE violent crime. But protesting the pension engine known as the NEA is a good (tho very very very late) start

How many of these disgruntled parents ensure their kids do their homework? How many are involved at schools? How many are single mothers, our national heroines? I've been through this with The Community. The youths were hanging at the local village center peddling drugs with the occasional assault and a shooting here and there. Baby Daddy and Baby Mama were unavailable, Big Mama was the head of household, and she couldn't control the big boys anymore. The proposed "solution" was a youth center. Demands were made; public hearings ensued. One woman was interruptive of anyone in the slightest apparent opposition to "her" youth center. During my "testimony" she started up. I turned to her and proposed a "compromise"....I would support her youth center on the condition that before anyone is admitted to the gym or pool hall they had to put in an hour in the ante-study hall doing homework or even just reading. Tutors would be provided. Her response: "Then nobody would go there."

Paul Bodner, 65, entered the guilty pleas Tuesday in US District Court for the Northern District of California. He faces up to 30 years in prison.

Shocking images show the moment Border Patrol agents thwarted a human smuggling operation in Texas, where they found 33 migrants crammed into a U-Haul in near-100-degree heat. The US Customs and Border Protection agents were alerted about 10 p.m. June 10 to suspicious activity related to a possible human-smuggling scheme near a McDonald’s restaurant in Van Horn, the agency said. They approached two vehicles, a Dodge Journey and the U-Haul box truck, and discovered “33 people who were close to perishing due to excessive heat and lack of fresh air in temperatures still hovering near 100 degrees.”

If Catholic politicians who support abortion rights were anxious about being restricted from receiving Holy Communion, they can breathe easier. Such a prohibition is now off the table at Thursday’s U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. “We are no longer proposing a national policy” regarding who may present themselves for Communion, Bishop Kevin Rhoades of Indiana’s Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese told delegates to a virtual USCCB spring meeting. Bishop Rhoades, who chairs the group’s doctrinal committee, conceded the notion “was in the original proposal” for the document, he added, “We never meant it as it’s been interpreted in many media sources.”

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been slammed for sending a 'deranged' email to one of her female staffers berating her for failing to scheduled enough 'office time'. The condescending message was sent by Lightfoot to her then-scheduler Taylor Lewis on January 28, but was only obtained by the Chicago Tribune this week. The paper was investigating reports of high staff turnover at City Hall when they uncovered the 'unhinged' email. The message included sentences which Lightfoot repeated more than a dozen times—apparently in order to really get her point across.(Snip) In the email, Lightfoot continued to patronizingly repeat each sentence she subsequently wrote.

Tap through TikTok and you'll fall down a slang-filled, dance-crazed rabbit hole a la "Alice in Wonderland." A piece of advice: Don't repeat everything you hear on your sojourn down. Especially if you are white. White people – on social media and in real life – regularly appropriate African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) like "slay" and "sis" without thinking, and some of these phrases come directly from the Black LGBTQ community. Experts say this perpetuates racism, erases Black contributions and fuels cultural misunderstandings. Simply put: It's Black linguistic appropriation.

The very richest Americans could be hit with bills for billions of dollars under plans being developed for a wealth tax by Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi, it emerged on Monday, which would see Amazon founder Jeff Bezos face paying almost ten billion dollars on his enormous wealth. Suozzi, who sits on the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, is drafting what he called a 'patriot tax.'It would impose one-time tax of 2.5% on wealth above $50 million and a 5% surcharge above $100 million.At that rate, Bezos, the country's wealthiest person, would face a payment of almost ten billion dollars on his wealth of about $195 billion.
