racestudy (4K)Eliminating the Race Variable in Black Achievement


When questioning the achievements of Blacks in areas of career, education, or health as compared to whites, many researchers and scholars avoid the fundamental variable of race discrimination and instead attribute the problems of Blacks to Blacks themselves. In one example, the study below suggests that career and educational deficits among Blacks are defacto the fault of Blacks, with strong implications toward some form of social/mental deficiency.....[more]



homosexuality (2K)Lawmakers pass Redefinition of 'Sex'
By Bob Unruh


In a move with national implications, California's state Senate passed a bill May 24, 2007 that establishes a new definition for "sex," threatens references to "mom" and "dad" and could restrict the presentation of scientific evidence to students......[more]



peace (11K)We Need a New Theory of Education
By Theo


Hello everyone, I want to talk a little bit about a subject that we have discussed on this forum several times. My goal today is to get us talking about education from outside of just creating children who are going to make contributions to America because that is not going to guarantee our survival as a people......[more]



brownvsboard (19K)The Unfulfilled Promise of Brown v. Board of Education
By Ryan Paul Haygood


In recognition of the fifty-first anniversary of the Supreme Court's historic decision in Brown v. Board of Education, a case often cited as the milestone in America's march towards racial equality, I recently discussed the legacy of Brown with students at Bragaw Avenue School in Newark, New Jersey......[more]



gayprotest (3K)Democrat/Liberal Homosexual Agenda Pushing in Our Schools



Because intellectual/political Blacks find it difficult to establish their own identity and must leach on to Democrat/Liberal ideology, to those who believe in voting Democrat, prepare to battle morally endowed people who would rather not allow homosexual programs in the public schools.......[more]



Stupid Black Parents - January 24, 2003
by Bob Parks

At least that's the impression one got when visiting the New Jersey Education Association web site before a couple of days ago. The teachers union made an admirable attempt to involve parents in the education of their children. The site made available a brochure for PDF download called "Getting Involved In Your Child's School". It also came in three versions. The first was called "A Parent's Resource". The second was translated into Spanish, and the last version was called the "African-American Version."......[more]



Spending For Education

It cost approximately $7,524 in 2002 to educate one child in the United States, at 47,575,862 children attending elementary and secondary schools (including high schools). That's close to $4 billion a year for public education. And each year the budget is increased by another few million dollars. This is the most logical strategy, national educators and government officials and politicians can devise for improving the minds of America's children. Is it working?......[more]



Schools as Community Learning Centers


The need for increased opportunities for children to learn and develop in safe and drug-free environments outside of regular school hours is clear. Without affordable, high-quality after-school care available to parents who work, many children must care for themselves or be supervised by older siblings responsibilities that distract them from school work......[more]



A Special Education Report

Special education is intended to provide support and services to help students with disabilities learn to their full potential. In theory, and often in practice, students who are eligible for special education receive valuable assistance in the forms of tutoring and specialized instruction by teachers with specific training. Most important, special education is services for children, not a place where children are sent.....[more]



A Rebuttal to Angry Whites

Affirmative Action Faces a New Wave of Anger
By JACQUES STEINBERG - Source from The New York Times, Week in Review

In 1995, when Jennifer Gratz applied to the University of Michigan's flagship Ann Arbor campus, she wanted to become a doctor. When she was rejected, she said she abandoned that ambition.......[more]



Desegregated Schools
By GREG WINTER

According to a new study by the Civil Rights Project at Harvard University, black and Latino students are now more isolated from their white counterparts than they were three decades ago, before many of the overhauls from the civil rights movement had even begun to take hold.......[more]



Black Lottery

How many times have you walked into the corner convenience store in your neighborhood and noticed the lottery line reaching around the isle? The players look to be at different income levels, educational levels, and ages ranging from 18 - 65. Better yet, how much time and money have you spent in the lottery line, hoping to hit your number. How many times have you played the same number with no luck or played a number every day only for the number to hit the day you did not play it? This whole scenario is all too familiar to many people regardless of race, but particularly to Blacks......[more]
