In other words, long-term planning, goal-setting, and speaking proper English are white traits that shouldn’t be foisted on blacks, and it is racist to define these things as beneficial. This is what passes for intelligent discourse in government schools, and your taxes pay for it.
Has Hollins ever wondered if racial disparities like the achievement gap exist because some blacks fail to speak standard English, plan for the future, save money, set goals, and accept personal, individual responsibility?
Doubtful. People like Hollins enjoy spouting high-falutin’ rhetoric for its own sake, crafting nonsensical statements, and trying to make whites responsible for black students’ underachievement. After much ridicule, Hollins removed the original statement (retrieved from The Internet Archive) and replaced it with a benign yet equally silly statement.
Hollins recently admitted to The Seattle Times that even she, a die-hard, diversity-obsessed devotee, could not find an institutionally racist program in the system. With nowhere else to turn, she pointed to summer vacation – summer vacation – as “an example of systemic problems” because black children fall even further behind.
Bureaucrats like Flynn and Hollins are living in a fantasy world. Hope for closing the achievement gap lies not in guilt-tripping whites but in promoting good study habits, encouraging individuals to work hard, be responsible for their own behavior, and learn to express themselves clearly, while urging parents to get involved in their kids’ education. All of this requires long-term planning, goal-setting, “individualism,” and speaking proper English.
But those are “white” values, so nevermind. |
