Remember now, Charter Schools are failures

Unlike the successful public school system.


In middle and high school, schools must teach about “systemic racism,” instructing students that American society was designed for the “impoverishment of people of color and enrichment of white people,” that the United States “created a social system that had racist economic inequality built into its foundation,” and that “the [current] wealth gap is the result of black slavery, which created unjust wealth for white people,” who are “unfairly rich.” Students then learn that “all white people play a part in perpetuating systemic racism” and that “often unconsciously, white elites work to perpetuate racism through politics, law, education, and the media.”


The new training sessions and curriculum are unlikely to lead to better student academic outcomes. Buffalo Public Schools have been an abject failure: by fifth grade, only 18 percent of students are proficient in math and 20 percent of students are proficient in English; one-third of all students fail to graduate from high school. The numbers are even worse for African-Americans, who constitute 45 percent of the student population. And according to the veteran teacher, despite the new “antiracism” programming, the district’s poor response to the pandemic has accelerated racial inequalities, with virtual attendance rates as low as 30 percent in some classrooms.

    Because they are Democrats and it's in their blood and they've been doing it for nearly 200 years.

    They view minorities, and specifically the Blacks they used to own, as lesser humans.

    There was a guy in Oregon education on The Shed named DuckDan who posted the most systematically racist things I’ve read on the Internet. He lost his job for his posts.

    By keeping the race issue on the front burner and constantly stoking that fire they can get people focused solely on that, while their hedge fund donors and public employee union paymasters raid the Federal treasury.

    The truth is that slightly over half the charters in the U.S. outperform their public counterparts. But the real story is the demographics of the students who comprise the student body of charters, who, on the whole, are doing way better in charters than their public school peers. Some bad charters hold the numbers down, just like Newport pulls the public numbers up. You gotta look at the demo to really judge apples to apples. When you do, you'll find it hard to argue that charters aren't doing way, way better than publics for black & hispanic kids.

    Because they’d lose their voter base if they ever did something to actually help people get out of poverty.

    Half of charter schools close. So I don’t know how you’re getting to more than half outproducing public schools. I’d love to see a link though.

    If I lived in a city where the public schools are ghetto I wouldn't send my kid there for a second. Where I grew up public schools were great so I really can't relate.

    Makes one wonder how many public schools would close, if permitted.
