Sharif El-Mekki envisions a world where ‘all black students are taught by same-race teachers.’ He is backed by the Gates Foundation, NBC Universal, Nike, and the Bezos Family Foundation.
Is there an equivalent of an 'Uncle Tom' or an 'Aunt Jemima' for white people? Like, the dumbass pseudo-inclusive liberals who support and don't challenge the ridiculously racist and hateful rhetoric they hear from black racists and segregationists? We should think of a few. Maybe a 'DiAngelo'? Is there a better example? What would we call a white man who kowtows to black racism?
The lower grades in the DC Public Schools have been segregated for decades in that children from black neighborhoods attend schools with mostly Black teachers and administrators, and the children in the neighborhoods of Upper Northwest DC, that are predominatly white, attend predominantly white schools. Then, when it’s time for high school, most upper-middle-class white and Black parents send their kids to private schools, while poor Black kids continue on in the public system. In terms of “diversity, equity and inclusion,” as well as learning outcomes, this system does not benefit poor Blacks at all.
Segregation is immediately pejorative; can't deny, however the potential for a negative 'shock' exists for children of color whose entire experience has been in the company of others of of similar appearance when they are thrust into a new environment populated to a great degree by people who look different than they or their friends and families do.
I'm guessing I wasn't the first 5 year old to tear up when dropped off at school that first day and I was a white bread boy in a rural white bread town in Western PA
Every lesson plan is a political document? Not so sure about that one. There’s an old saying, ‘if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Lots of emphasis on being an activist, no mention of being a reader, a mathematician, a scientist.
Why not encourage black teachers to teach black students, key operative word here is teach.
Hire teachers based on the pigment in their skin so they can teach kids not to treat others differently based on the pigment in their skin. What could possibly go wrong?
I was once asked by a teacher to factor a polynomial and remember thinking, "What a second, does the polynomial want to be factored? Who am I to impose my will on a nomial just because it identifies poly? Even though the British starved to death my Irish ancestors, I can't deny my skin color. Thus, I am still a colonizer. To make amends, today I proudly say: To the hell with misogynist, racist math!
I would like for the benefactors to read this and comment on how this aligns with the goals of their respective foundations. I suspect, and I hope I am wrong, that their super large grants are penitence for their “white guilt.” Or maybe, their due diligence is lousy.
The numbers listed from those organizations are "chump change" virtue signaling without due diligence (at best). Those from the departments of education are extortion.
The reporter should have contacted them and asked them about it. That should have been part of her job. She should have asked them and the Penn Department of Education why they would support this program and what the curriculum would be. The fact that you would post this question and not expect the reporter to ask the hard question shows how low readers' expectations have fallen. This is not good journalism. This is just another version of Fox News whipping up the right wing yahoos.
I confess that I am deeply puzzled . Is this project for all-black schools is a new implémentation of the sacred DEI? I had thought that D stood for diversity. And I for integration. What did I miss????
During the BLM and George Floyd hysteria there was a lot of research showing black babies had better survival rates with black doctors, black students did better with black teachers, etc. A lot of donations were given to newly formed charities, government grants to fund anti-racist research, and Boston University setup the Ibram X. Kendi Center for Antiracist Research with $30 million in funding.
Independent review of those studies showed flawed analysis (black babies do WORSE with black doctors), black students do the same regardless of teacher, and Kendi’s center blew through $30 million without producing any research. Liberal media and medical journals ignore these updates that go against their narrative.
It’s a foundation with people running it and probably weak oversight in choosing charities. Bill Gates is busy with nuclear energy, vaccines, and clean water right now.
Real Americans should wonder about the source of funds and the infrastructure that's been established to aid and abet all these anti-America organizations. I'm sure many enjoy tax benefits that are not justified to say nothing of grants from the government they seem to despise. Hmmmm, it's vexing to ponder.
Profit, and power are the remaining reasons that racism still exists outside of extremist ideologies. People Like Mekki propagate this divisiveness for personal gain, and are useful idiots in a malthusian WEF plot to divide and conquer Western society.
My ex was Armenian born in Tehran. He came to America when the revolution happened. The family said one day it was like New York City, and the next any women with makeup on had their faces sliced with razor blades. The boys of my ex’s generation that didn’t make it out were handed a “key to heaven” and marched on the battlefield to absorb Iraqi bullets, because the Iranians didn’t have ammunition or guns to fight back. Anyone who thinks an Iran run by Mullahs is more “intellectual” than America probably does not need to be running any schools anywhere.

Rachel Dolezal. Isn’t that the white chick that did blackface, married a black guy, and worked for NAACP?
Brilliant idea. Aunt Robin?
Aunt Robin and Uncle...........Dunno, who's the most self-hating white man in America?

See Martin Gurri article.
Exactly. This is what he is voting against - more of this destabilising, hate America first nonsense that the blue team seems to prefer.

Let him have at it. See how it works out. Africa itself offers some good examples.

She did ask and didn’t receive a comment.

I think Bill Gates is becoming a villain.

"Aisha El-Mekki met with Khomeini multiple times, according to the biography."
I bet she had to have a man take her to those meeting, I'll wager she couldn't go there by herself.

Sounds about right for Shapiro
