I was raised in rural Wisconsin. I attended a ONE ROOM school, with ONE teacher who had 2 years of college -—8 grades-—14 students. There was NO running water ( water brought in every school day in a 10 gallon milk can) & with outdoor toilets behind the school Playground==a merry-go-round.
I would bet today that at least 50% of those students attended college for at least SOME classes & that at least 25% of those students got a 4 year college education.
I want a serious Republican CONSERVATIVE candidate—such as Scott Walker— to do the following at his campaign stops:
Set up 2 school desks on the stage-—and set up a table with the following:
2 sets of textbooks
2 sets of pencil boxes
2 boxes of Ticonderoga pencils
2 boxes of pens
2 3 ring notebooks
2 spiral notebooks
2 stacks of scratch paper
2 erasers
2 bottles of Liquid Paper
2 sets of anything else which is part of getting an education.
THEN___Ask any audience member to come to the stage & tell the rest of the audience which items on the stage & table were manufactured/prepared for the BLACK student & which were done for the WHITE student.
My brother was involved in the preparation of textbooks. My father also was involved in preparation for printing of textbooks.
I am ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE that they never did 2 sets of anything that ere different.
This country gives a free education to every student thru 12 the grade. The EQUAL OPPORTUNITY is there. The student -regardless of color- has the same information in their book as the student next to them or in the next room.
The constant drumbeat that black students keep alive that is connected to the idea that IF they get an education they will be considered “Uncle Tom’ or worse isn’t helping the blacks rise to a better life in the USA.
The USA has spent 40+++ years & trillions of dollars trying to help the blacks.
They are inflicting this upon themselves.
I didn’t have any different school supplies than any other student—even when I went to college & took accounting classes. I did my class time & I did my homework. All of that led me to get better jobs & to eventually become self employed in about 1980.
My sympathy is exhausted. None more coming forth. The attitudes have to change within the black communities.
Compound the above with the statement of the ‘mother’ of the black kid killed in Madison——”He was NEVER a violent boy”.
What does she think an armed robbery is???
The standards of behavior in the black community are certainly different by a long shot than the standards of behavior in the white community.
I know that armed robbery activity by it’s very definition is violent!!! She is disgusting.
Well done! It's brains that count.
