Bingo.
The only thing that matters to these people is Equality. They don't care about education at all. They just want everyone to be as equal as possible and, as you say, the only way to get there is to make everyone equally stupid.
This stuff isn't an accident.
I agree, but I live in an area (NYC metro area, northeastern NJ) where private schools struggle - they are unaffordable for too many considering the high public school costs to which all most contribute (through property taxes or rents to pay another’s property taxes). Rather than sacrificing their children in public school systems, many whites simply have none.
I’d say most of the other social problems are caused by that (the negative birthrate, and trafficking of Third Worlders to fill the gap); the WASP culture of this country is almost gone completely from mainstream “popular culture”. Recent news described how only a handful of counties across the country increased the proportion of their “white” residents; no surprise then that stories also follow about lower life expectancies, literacy, etc. - the replacements are dragging the numbers down.
You are correct in that; whites have increasingly been demonstrating the same social ills as others. They still had higher rates of intact families and lower substance abuse (as just a couple of examples), and that reflects in school performance.
Where pockets of “all-white” schools exist, the government is working furiously to seed the area with non-whites - and the destruction of the schools are simply collateral damage. The main purpose (at least in the NYC metro area) is to attach non-contributing populations to taxpaying hosts. Our bankrupt ghettoes are farming their welfare populations out to areas where dwindling white populations can provide basic services for them, and it is accelerating the “white flight” - not in response to non-white neighbors, but in response to their huge price tags.
(but do they 'care' enough to actually 'do'?)
HOW DARE YOU even HINT that 'parent(s)' have ANY responsibility??!!??
You can lead a horse to water
But you can’t make him drink
You can send a plantation kid to school
But you can’t make him think
Of course I care, but the system is so broken it needs a Cntl-Alt-Del. The misadventures of our local school board are shocking. Mismanagement of an epic scale with weapons grade stupid thrown in.
We’re giving Mozambique a run for its educational buck.
I think culture trumps education. The culture really started to change in the 60s with entertainment being our national pastime. Andrew Fletcher was right, "Give me the power to write the songs a nation sings and I don't care who rights the laws".
Politicians don’t DO. They only talk about DOING, but never actual DO.
That’s why they can’t handle Trump. He only knows DO.
I take that back, he also knows DONE and then moves on to the next project.
We don’t have an “education crisis” in this country. Our schools are working exactly as they were designed: to raise a nation of peasants who are incapable of thinking rationally, and have millions of taxpayer-funded jobs for people who would otherwise be unemployable.
When schools lost their ability to discipline children, give bad grades to those who won’t do homework or listen in class we lost our children. It is the same in the homes, there is no discipline. It is that way in our churches, people do what they feel is right in their heart. It is that way in our country, people speed in their cars, don’t stop at stop signs, all the little laws we choose to ignore.
If we were faithful in little we would be seeing great results in all the areas of our lives.
Math and Reading are like History (the misnamed Social Studies), vastly over-rated. Leave that useless stuff for the nerdy Asians - transsexual studies is where its at.
Yes, the schools are bad, but the parents are worse.
I’m getting some interesting anecdotal evidence from my wife who is subbing in a local school.
Some of the kids are so feral it isn’t funny. At best, they seem to have spent all their time in front of a TV or tablet. At worst...
Possibly the saddest one was a child who told my wife he going to bite her. Not because he didn’t like her (quite the opposite) but because he wanted the attention it would bring him from his mother.
But, I guess there is some hope of fixing the schools...
Saw Paul Harvey give a great speech at a conference I attended in 1978.
The topic was... No Self Discipline, No Self Government.
Why would there be an uproar? An uneducated population is easily manipulable, which causes subservience. This is just what the deep state wants.
The problem is not just the schools. It is also the predominant culture of the ghettos and barrios. This culture deems that becoming educated is acting white, and severely ostracizes those who step outside of its dictates. Until that culture is changed, kids will continue to be groomed for criminality and dependence.
Re: Does anyone care?
I care.
There’s always an educational crisis!
At least as log as I have been alive.
The first one I remember was caused by Sputnik.
When parents started treating school as a daycare facility, is when we lost our children.
I work at a grade school that is over 50% immigrant.
Good kids, lousy scores.
