and once these new race based standards are in place, Rev Al and Jesse will be a'picketin, rhyming and suing cause it be racist, you 'no.

She just reinforces today's black culture....education is not important. If you are black and you are athletic, or can sing or have some other entertainment value (can you say reality show) then education is just a waste of time. Just amazing...guess ebonics will be taught to white and hispanic kids as a second language in Fla.

White kids are acting all ghetto these days, so I'm not sure who is losing out on these whole race based education standards....the results are before us.

An alternative plan would be to just "redistribute" grades so that every racial/ethnic group came out the same.

For instance, all the "A" and "B" grade students could be "taxed" and their grades be brought down to "C" ... and then those leftover points be distributed to the "D" and "F" students to bring them up to a "C" average. /s

This whole thing is disgusting.

FTA:"Wilkins and many other stakeholders in the education reform movement have little or no direct experience teaching or managing schools. Yet, self-styled reformers such as Wilkins advocate sweeping policy changes which affect students, parents, and anyone else impacted by education."

This is a surprise, we have someone just like her in the WH.

Slave owners would not allow slaves to learn to read and write.
There are no slaves anymore, and the gov't bends over backwards to educate black students, who refuse to learn. They choose to remain uneducated. So WHO is responsible for their self-imposed ignorance?

Boortz was hot on this last Monday. He was actually giving the scores for each race. These are not exact..Asian was 90'ish. White was 88, Mexican was low 80's, and blacks really low. If you can find the exact numbers, you will be surprised.

All so they can get their money from the Feds, because the 'lower' races cannot be expected to attain what say, the Asians can.

Boortz focused on blacks, saying how they should all be irate! How dare the Florida education system say that blacks are unable to do what anyone else can.

For myself, I did not like that whites had passing rates lower than Asians. Really?

This is ridiculous.

Bigotry. No other word for it.

Thank you liberals for making sure the uneducated minorities stay on the plantation.

You do know that it was forbidden to teach slaves how to read.

What must be remembered is that the ultimate goal of policies such as these is the total homoginization of the populace. Because different ethnicities will have different standards everyone will appear "equal". The entire comcept of individual achievement will be diminished. No more the best and brightest because you can't really figure out who they are. A true "classless" society where equal outcome is the goal.

People will be judged to have performed to the guidlines defined by their ethnecity. Quotas will be demended for all jobs, private and public. and the entire system will be on the fast track to collapse.

Then the benevolent government, populated by the liberals who "care" so much and "know" what's best for everyone will have free reign to complete their destruction of the America as we know it.

#3...How right you are. I can hear it already...You didn't make those grades.....someone else helped you. Its time to start fighting the inamtes in the padded house folks...enough is enough.

Yep no doubt. Whites bad, blacks good...really? How about they start their own country in Africa and see how they do.
