Florida Implements Race-Based Learning Requirements; Proclaims Blacks Stupidest Race
I’m completely floored by what the Florida State Board of Education has done. They have implemented a race-based requirements for learning, setting higher expectations for Asians and Whites and very low expectations for Hispanics and Blacks. And in their liberal-minded racist outlook, they think they are being realistic and “ambitious.”
From CBS here:
The Florida State Board of Education passed a plan that sets goals for students in math and reading based upon their race.
On Tuesday, the board passed a revised strategic plan that says that by 2018, it wants 90 percent of Asian students, 88 percent of white students, 81 percent of Hispanics and 74 percent of black students to be reading at or above grade level. For math, the goals are 92 percent of Asian kids to be proficient, whites at 86 percent, Hispanics at 80 percent and blacks at 74 percent. It also measures by other groupings, such as poverty and disabilities.
The plan has infuriated many community activists in Palm Beach County and across the state.
“To expect less from one demographic and more from another is just a little off-base,” Juan Lopez, magnet coordinator at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Riviera Beach.
But the Florida Department of Education said the goals recognize that not every group is starting from the same point and are meant to be ambitious but realistic.
But Palm Beach County School Board vice-chairwoman Debra Robinson isn’t buying the rationale.
“I’m somewhere between complete and utter disgust and anger and disappointment with humanity,” Robinson told the Post. She said she has been receiving complaints from upset black and Hispanic parents since the state board took its action this week.
Ah, liberals, setting low expectations for blacks again. Remember when Democrats required blacks to pass a reading test to vote? Now they don’t even expect them to learn to read at all. They lower the bar and require less from blacks from an educational standpoint and they have the balls to call themselves compassionate. They are proclaiming that not all men are created equal because of the color of their skin. Where is the NAACP? Where is the ACLU?
UPDATE: The Florida Department of Education is majority white and majority REPUBLICAN, which makes me even more disgusted. I’d expect this of Democrats- not from Republicans.
