And this is supposed to motivate black students who insist that to learn reading and writing is “acting white “?

African Americans lack equal access to highly effective teachers and principals, safe schools and challenging college-preparatory classes and they disproportionately experience school discipline and referrals to special education, according to the executive order.

And who’s responsible for this exactly?

Could theses educational problems possibly have something to do with “Black culture” and “black” local political leaders?

As a population blacks are scrambling to get into theses charter schools that they appose. Obviously many blacks know in their heart as demonstrated by their actions that their own democratic leaders who run their local schools have created a terrible product.

That their efforts to save their children from a poor education are in fact being fought by the very people they elect, cannot possibly be lost on them.

How is it that we can get theses emotionally wreckless people to realize their mistake?

Their objective will be to reduce the disparity between black and white student performance.

Increasing black student performance is very hard.

Sabotaging white student performance is easier.

Still waiting for any sort of explanation of how education is any of the Federal government’s Constitutional business.

Parents, even the most liberal parents, are protective of their children. So long as feral students are disproportionately common in predominantly black schools, white flight will resegregate those schools. Whether they have to move across the middle school or high school boundary line in the same city, across a county line into a different school district, into a different state, or into the private schools or homeschooling, decent parents will move and take their kids with them. The key to desegregation is to remove the incentive to leave by demanding appropriate behavior from all students, even those who claim diversity as an exemption from the rules. As a bonus, demanding that students behave will encourage them to actually learn. It’s a shame leaders on the far left don’t want that to happen.

I don’t want that banger trash in my upper class suburban schools. Let them live and go to the schools in the democRAT infested mess from whence they sprang. Let their parents face the consequences for voting democRAT.

Back in the Jurassic 60s, the Ford Foundation, not exactly a hotbed of reactionary right-wingers, proposed using retiring African-American NCOs as "deans of discipline" in public schools in DC to rigidly enforce codes of dress, behavior, and academic achievement. Such a concept!

If The Hawaiian wanted a legacy that had something to do with the good of this country and "his people," whom his very immediate ancestors rounded up into slavery until stopped by the British, he would revive this idea of discipline and achievement. I have the very politically incorrect feeling that a couple of whippings, administered by at the right time by a caring adult, might have saved Trayvon's life. And yes, the dumbass Zimmerman Brother is absolutely right. The Elkins boy in Brunwick and Trayvon are peas trapped in a very counterproductive cultural pod that has very little to do with racial discrimination.

The worst thing about the situation is that by not holding blacks responsible for anti-social behavior and witholding even mild consequences, school authorities can no longer enforce discipline among any student group. It is chaos.

If the man appointed as "Schools Czar" for African-Americans has any balls at all and will take the action that is needed to shape up the wild people who are ruining ALL the urban schools in the country, which BTW are all managed by the Black Elite, why then I will applaud him, despite his appointment by The Mombasa MF.

Shaping up lower-end Negroes is an excellent idea. Go to it!

“substantial obstacles” to educational opportunities in the African-American community has nothing to do with racism.

And everything to do with fatherless children begetting fatherless children.

It looks like he hates blacks and he thinks they are inferior to other races.

How many Black officials and politicians send their own children to public school? Why not?

The new black education czar, David J. Johns, will work to identify evidence-based best practices to improve African American student achievement from cradle to career, according to an announcement issued by the Education Department.

Ah, there's a name for this... can't quite think of it... it's on the tip of my tongue, uh...
