opportunities??? they piss away the biggest FREE opportunity of them all when they think they are too cool for school... everything else is downhill from there. p!ss on em.
If a 'report' such as this is used as a template for public policy, black Americans will continue to suffer the same fates that they have for the past fifty-odd years.
One surprisingly lucid suggestion is included, however:
The report suggested that all-male schools with a strong emphasis on mentoring could help keep black boys "focused on their education and away from distractions that could lead them down the wrong paths."
The last time I checked, Conservatives have been shouting the praises of separating boys and girls in schools for decades or more.
AND THE FOOTNOTE AT THE END OF IT IS:
and stressed that any overall progress will need a boost from parents.
“They must continually talk to their children about how much better off they will be by graduating from high school and college,” it said.
Black Conservative Ping
Does the report suggest disbanding the NEA for blocking teacher reform, throwing the democrats out of Congress for preventing school choice, and kicking out the democrat mayors who sit atop the failure in most of our major cities?

Not sure if the subject matter here is appropriate for a “Moral Absolutes” ping, but I felt that a breakdown in morality is at the root of so many of the problems itemized in the article here I thought I’d give y’all a ping.
Intact black families and a rejection of immorality coupled with an embrace of traditional Conservative values would leave organizations such as the Urban League with nothing at all to do, IMHO.

you can’t even read the damned thing unless you BUY it...
I got to this part and stopped. No point in reading further. More hand outs and wealth redistribution is the solution to all of our social problems. BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!
The only clear answer is for white America to start dropping out of school and blaming others for all of their problems. The Democratic Party has taken the lead on this.
It seems to me that a better use of taxpayer funds would be to focus on black women (dump the African-American term), and specifically, focus on black women who excel in secondary school. Then, give them incentives to go to and complete college.
Assist them to get decent paying jobs.
Encourage them to buy homes and leave the ghettoes.
In sum, leave the black scum males behind to celebrate their lack of education and rot in their slime.
Here’s a thought:
Stop joining gangs, dropping out of school, and being a “gangsta” and you might be surprised at the result.
Speaking as someone who is close to several people teaching in primarily black school, separating by gender sounds like a good idea, honestly.
There’s a lot of show-boating and a lot of fights that result out of relationships/you said this about my girlfriend.... That sort of thing.
But honestly, the family is at the root of this. That and a culture of dependence that shuns achievement in anything academic.
I attended an intersting high school in the late 90s. It was about 60% white, 40% black. A majority of the families worked in the same factory, so their salaries were comparalbe. The tax dollars this plant brought in made our school system the most well-funded public school system in the state, despite not really having a wealthy student population.
There was one black (a girl) to finish in the top 10% of my school in a decade. The opportunity was there, the facilities were there, the quality teachers were there, the socioeconomics were as equal as they were going to be. And yet still, the above result.
That’s a cultural failing. No mistake about it.
The deal is Dad needs to be there. With an out of wedlock birth rate close to 70%, that’s the root of the African-American Community’s problems. Until last week, I’d be afraid to say that, but since the faux Revs seem so ready to correct Whitey, their is it. Or is it, “Whoops, there it is!”. BTW, I’m rooting for all of you. Come on in (to American society), the water’s warm!
She was roundly condemed (By the Black Community), but I think she was on to something.
Boarding schools for the early grades seem unusual to us, but in the Brtish culture, and even throughout Africa, children went off at a young age and returned home on holidays. They were in a controlled environment, and in Africa, learned to speak excellent English.
“We need a public commitment in the form of concrete policy strategies to help lift them out of their state of underachievement and put them on equal footing with white men in this nation.”
We need more money from white men.
Segregation-I thought they didn't like that idea.
