The very essence of liberal racism. The spring from which it all starts.

Nearly 70% of all public educators (teachers and admin) across the US belong to teachers unions. Some unions are stronger in some areas and not so strong in many areas. In the district in GA that we raised our kids, the unions were nothing. Me and a bunch of other parents would have violently run the rat teachers and union leadership out of town if they tried to push their shit on any student in our district. We talked about it often and if a far left rat was running for the school board we all banded together and defeated them. In NY the unions are strong and they only care about themselves and actually make decisions knowing they are hurting black children when it comes to their education. This is the most cruel and damning thing racists can do to children, and rats in charge just continue to condemn these kids year after year and decade after decade. It is heartless and racist to its core and the country needs to change this or we will continue to produce children that are way behind the curve when it comes to adulthood and higher education.

In NY they spend about twice the amount ($27,000) as the rest of the country per student per year. Yes I said $27,000. In NY they don't fire horrible administrators or teachers, the put them in predominantly black schools. I have written about this on here in years past but as you can see by the following article, they just continue to destroy these poor kids every fucking chance they get.

You rats should feel guilty and horrified at what your educational leadership is doing to our children. Enjoy your power while you have it. I sincerely hope you lose it and somehow your racism is stopped before it damages another child.

Black parents’ righteous fury at NYC public school failure

In what could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, middle-class black families in Queens are mobilizing against the city Department of Education’s routine acceptance of rotten public schools.

As The Post’s Georgett Roberts and Selim Algar report, these parents in District 29 aren’t taking “We need more resources” as an excuse.

“A lot of people knew that it was bad,” explains local activist Michael Duncan, “but they didn’t know it was this bad.”

How bad? District-wide, just 28 percent of black students in grades 3-8 passed their 2019 state math exams and just 37 percent passed English. At some schools, almost no one passed: A whopping 94 percent of fifth-graders at PS 134 in Hollis, for example, flunked math; 83 percent bombed English.

No wonder the district saw a 13 percent drop in enrollment over the past four years. These are the children, after all, of middle-class black homeowners, “successful people,” Duncan points out. “The results in our schools are not reflective of the community. Something is wrong here.”

Money’s not the problem. PS 134 spent $27,000 per student in 2019, much more than double the national average (New York state spends the most per pupil in the country). Catholic schools and small private schools in the area spend far less, with far better results.

No, the problem, Duncan and others in the new Students Improvement Association say, is that the DOE’s chief priority is making the adults who run the schools happy, rather than ensuring kids get the best education.

Failed superintendents, principals and teachers aren’t fired; they’re dumped on majority-minority districts. Meanwhile, the de Blasio-era rollback of discipline has also fueled classroom disorder, as Queens state Sen. Leroy Comrie has warned.

District 29 isn’t unique: Gotham spent nearly $27,000 for every public school student across the city in 2018 — with dismal results. But the teachers union and other special interests do just fine.

With the pandemic further exposing the DOE’s priorities of serving the adults, not the kids, the rebellion in District 29 could force a sea change: If enough parents refuse to accept the system’s indifference to learning, a change will have to come.

    The left has no interest in educating kids. Their goal is indoctrination not education. Push the belief that white people are oppressors and that gender is fluid and a personal choice. Global warming is our greatest threat right after white supremacy.

    There has to be someone who is a Republican or Independent who is combating this racism in our education system. We all acted locally in our school district to keep the rat trash out of a decision making role but I am going to find someone who has this ball and see if I can support them in some way. Every time I read about this crap it just turns my stomach.

    I was told Betsy Devos destroyed public education.

    One of my two dads was an educator. Not a big union fan as he considered himself a 'professional' and professionals didn't unionize. He finally went out on strike after 25 years on the job....think he got a whopping bump in pay to $1000 per month. Only time in history the teachers walked. Neither side ever wanted to go down that path again. Bump of tough WWII and Korean War vets who loved their country.

    He's rolling over in his grave right now, I'm quite certain.
