Wow - it "works" like this when you're out of school, and after it, too - even for individuals:

"In America, the wealthiest school is going to get ten times more funding than the lowest one."

And, using this philosophy, that thing they call "the income gap" has never been closed?

I'd wonder why but, at this point, I'd feel like a fool,...

 

"African-Americans consistently have expressed far less faith in "most people" than the white majority does. Racism, discrimination and a high rate of poverty destroy trust.

Nearly 8 in 10 African-Americans, in the 2012 survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago with principal funding from the National Science Foundation, felt that "you can't be too careful." That figure has held remarkably steady across the 25 GSS surveys since 1972.

The decline in the nation's overall trust quotient was driven by changing attitudes among whites. It's possible that people today are indeed less deserving of trust than Americans in the past, perhaps because of a decline in moral values."

Can you imagine the movies we'd be watching if someone bothered to show the real story of America? Sweeney Todd, anyone?

"At Dartmouth, the medical college—it would be unfair to say that the medical college begins with this moment, but the teaching of science in Hanover begins when the physician to the president, the founder of Dartmouth, Eleazar Wheelock, drags the body of an enslaved black man, who is deceased, named Cato, to the back of his house and boils that body in an enormous pot to free up the skeleton, to wire it up for instruction. That act is not unusual."

What Americans don't know is more fascinating than what we do,...

 

He must have a point, because blacks are taught this is fair:

"In America, we're actually educating our kids very well ... but just the white kids. If you pull out schools in which 85 percent of students qualify for a free meal, which are predominantly African-American and Hispanic, the data show that the rest of the kids are being taught better in American than anywhere else in the world.

Countries like Finland teach their white kids well, and we teach our white kids better."

 This makes me wonder what they teach in those communist re-education classes I hear so much about,...

 

 

 Rap music was on top of black scholarship before society generally:

"Whites fear genetic annihilation because their genes are recessive to the majority of the world’s population, which consists of  people of color – the most threatening being black. Therefore they established white supremacy to prevent people of color from diluting their genes and subsequently rendering them extinct." 

 Some of y'all got a lot of catching up to do,...

 

This is exactly as I pictured it - using my psychic powers for "entertainment purposes only" of course:

"Schools Will Take ‘In God We Trust’ Posters,...to Teach History"

Now watch:

Next, we bomb Japan,...

 

"A Houston electrician known mostly for his personal crusades against LGBT rights and the city’s lesbian mayor has won a seat on the Houston Community College Board of Trustees after pretending in campaign materials to be African American,…

…KHOU reported that Wilson pulled stock images of people of color from websites and magazines and used them to make fliers to distribute in his district.

Wilson, a conservative white Republican with tea party leanings, realized that he had little to no chance of beating 24-year incumbent Austin in his heavily African-American district, so Wilson decided not to run as a white man."

Yes, Richard Cohen, a journalist and columnist for nearly half a century, a college-educated, award-winning commentator, thought slavery was not such a bad thing until he saw a movie about it in 2013. Richard Cohen admits, in a major American newspaper, that until this month, he believed an archaic, widely discredited “Lost Cause” white supremacist myth. And in his nearly 70 years of literacy, he has not seen or heard or read anything to challenge that myth until he saw a Hollywood film on the subject. This is ignorance on a staggering scale. That paragraph should only preface a retirement announcement. “I am a deeply ignorant and cloistered old man,” should be the next sentence, “and no one should pay me for my views and opinions, because they are worthless.”

He documents this journey in his book “Escape: My Lifelong War Against Cults,” a thrilling read that’s also educational. It links half a century of mental manipulation, violence, and legal warfare waged by controversial totalistic movements.

Chapter after chapter details the similarities of cults and their megalomaniacal leaders. It’s revealing to see the same elements in Charles Manson’s “family,” the Symbionese Liberation Army, Synanon, Jim Jones’ Peoples Temple, Werner Erhard’s est, the Unification Church, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh’s commune and even Scientology.

Many of these cults have their own version of forced abortions, extreme hours with little to no pay, sleep deprivation, and constant ego-smashing abuse combined with praise and reassurance. Also common are disconnection from families, and diabolical legal strategies intended to ruin reputations and cripple outside interference.

But Paul’s heroics have come at a steep price. In 1978, his fiancé left him out of fear for her children. And then 10 years ago, Paul was diagnosed with a serious blood disorder linked to rattlesnake venom. Paul’s forced to live on bi-monthly transfusions. (He jokes, “I’ve developed simpatico with Dracula.”)

In “Escape” Morantz skillfully traces Chinese leader Mao Tse-tung’s theories of brainwashing he used on his own people and also on American POWs during the Korean War. Paul lays the groundwork for showing how many controversial groups here at home, particularly those coming out of the 1960s human potential movement, shared the same ideas, methods and, all too often, the same tragic results.

“This is the first time in the history of the Henry Clay Debates at the University of Kentucky that two African-American women have been awarded the top two speaker positions. I do believe it is also the first time in the history of national debate competition that two African-American women have won the top two speakers at any national tournament.

…Nadia Lewis and Jamila Ahmed have accomplished a feat that many debaters around the country can only dream of achieving. And, it is important to note that they did so as virtual novices competing in the varsity level division. Their competitors are likely to have five to eight more years of debate experience than these young women.”

“Pupils told me that during drama classes Miss Black would talk about sex and she turned the lessons on to a sexual theme. 

She said she wanted to cheat on her fiancé once before getting married and that she fantasised about having sex on a table in the drama class.

They played a game called I Have Never where she would ask them things [about sex]. She would then get the pupils to act out the acts in question.”

“Parents who say yoga is inherently religious have appealed a judge's ruling that allowed yoga in a public school system near San Diego, saying it violates the constitutional separation of church and state.



'Our children are not religious guinea pigs and should never be subjected to such misguided religious experimentation,' said Dean Broyles, president of the National Center for Law and Policy, a nonprofit based in Escondido, Calif.,…”

"Schools of concentrated poverty and segregated minority schools are strongly related to an array of factors that limit educational opportunities and outcomes. These include less experienced and less qualified teachers, high levels of teacher turnover, less successful peer groups and inadequate facilities and learning materials."

Ohio Teacher Goes On Racist Facebook Halloween Rant

The general consensus emerging from my students’ papers is that the Norwegian princess is the leader of a relatively small, world-affirming client cult, associated with a much broader audience cult, that has emerged from the founders’ prior engagement in the cultic milieu and the New Age movement sensu lato – with some roots stretching back to esoteric currents of the 19th century, notably New Thought and the “mind cure”, with hints of spiritualism and Theosophy.

Here's the teachable moment for the Illinois State Historical Society: It's time to recognize that African American coal miners, enslaved and indentured, launched the Illinois coal industry -- including the so-called "first coal mine" in 1810 -- and when the state of Illinois ratified its constitution in 1818, a largely overlooked loophole allowed for legal slavery in the crucial tax-revenue-generating salt works, generated by coal mines, in the out-of-sight Shawnee Forests of southern Illinois.

Clearly there are some in Hollywood who lead very sheltered lives, have not been broadly educated and therefore lack perspective.

Shaq backing Chris Christie sends a message that should resonate in both the Garden State and throughout the national Republican Party.

...The latest Fairleigh-Dickinson poll shows 53 percent of non-white voters approve of Christie’s job in office, while only 34 percent disapprove–and he’s beating Buono among non-white voters by an eight-point margin. For the modern GOP, this is almost unheard of–somewhere between drawing a straight flush and adopting a unicorn.

Why are women insisting we now have to watch them breast-feed? Oh, I don't know:

  Russia’s Top Breast-Feeding Expert Arrested for Running a ‘Cult’

Most women aren't too difficult to figure out - does this sound familiar? 

The center’s roughly 14 “followers” were taught to “reject the family as a social institution, to act negatively toward their spouses (men), to refuse medical help, education, work and military service,” the statement said. In essence, they were being taught disobedience toward social norms. As the statement also claimed, the center used “physical and psychological violence” to maintain control over its followers.

It certainly does sound like the same ol' story to me,...

 

Yes, Miss Crabtree, I would've handed in last night's homework, but I was too busy FORAGING FOR FOOD:

 Disadvantaged children less likely to do well at A-level no matter how clever they are

As a product of foster care, this seems pretty self-evident,...
