This sounds like a semi-truck load of triple-distilled BALONEY. I doubt if I’ve ever seen a black kid without a smart phone. And guess what? Those can be used as computers. I guess they never heard of public libraries either, where there are computers and printers available for public use.
“Schools were sending students home with devices for online learning without first ensuring families had reliable, consistent internet access to utilize those devices..”
that’s where parenting comes in.
Besides the current Emergency programs avail right now, internet providers, some time ago, started providing internet for free to low-income homes that had at least on child k-12 in school and $9.95 plans where no free plans were avail.
here’s a blog that runs down some of the many options:

I know an elementary school teacher in a medium sized city. She had something like 2/3 of her kids, mostly black, that did not have wi-fi in the home. And the only available device for accessing online stuff was mom’s iphone. The solution, of course, was to give these homes hot spots and ipads, but that didn’t happen until well into the school year.
Ain't gonna happen - black, white, yellow or brown.
“The left thinks black people are too stupid to survive on their own. They should be called on it more often.”
According the our government, black African Americans can’t:
get state issued IDs
get on the internet
get a lawyer
get an accountant
do math
speak proper English
I am overly sensitive when someone ignorantly criticizes people from the south. If someone made comments like this about us I would be ready to go to war. Black people, except for a few conservative pundits, seem to be okay with it. I don’t understand it.
“The ultimate goal is... Just give ‘em all doctorates at birth. That ought to even things up. Why have ‘em go to school at all?”
Lie the Wizard of Oz giving Scarecrow a diploma. Now you are smart.
“As two-thirds of the country’s Black children are born into single-parent households,...”
I’d say start with that aspect. But who am I to say anything, I’m just another white male racist earning my way with a home, wife, 3 kids, and a dog.
Books. Should have sent them home with books instead anyway.
