Abstract

When would the general public lose its passion for political correctness and courageously admit Black kids don’t do well on standardized tests because they lack the intellectual capacity for rigorous academic work? Why do parents insist on squandering taxpayer dime on a Race of children unable to grasp complex ideas presented them by tenacious teachers? Isn’t it about time we turned to more successful models like charter, voucher, and private schools, rather than keep dumping valuable money into that cesspool otherwise known as the public school system? Why do Marxist educators want so badly to indoctrinate our kids with redistributionist, Deweyan, Freirean, anti-Capitalism ideals?
