		<description><![CDATA[Good point and good post. I would add that blacks have also AGREED to be dumbed down. Take a look at the educational standards at traditionally black colleges. Thomas Sowell was disgusted by the low standards and the refusal by the schools to raise them or to demand serious scholarship by the professors or students. 
 
&quot;Racism&quot; is certainly used as a cover to hide the fact that too many blacks are simply unprepared for the demands of a highly technical workplace. I worked in an office where the black executive assistant to the CEO could not punctuate a sentence -- she didn&#039;t even know that you have to put a period at the end of a sentence. She didn&#039;t last too long in the position. When I found out she not only graduated high school but had some college, I was shocked. 
 
What was the most unbelievable thing? She wasn&#039;t even aware that she was coming to the job unprepared. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Williams: is it EVER the responsibility of the individual student to study and learn or is ALWAYS the fault of the &quot;system&quot; (read &quot;white establishment&quot;)? The process of education is a combined effort of many partners: the student, the parents, the teachers, the principals, the school board, and community groups such as churches. Out of all these partners, the most important is the student.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once had to attempt working with the then chairman of the Senate Education Committee in California.  His concern was that the student population in the University of California system &quot;did not reflect&quot; the color and complexity of California residents.  His solution?  He compelled (by force of law) that the UC system immediately change its admission requirements so that &quot;more kids of color&quot; would be present on campus.  A new mixture of students matriculated into the system the following year (and subsequently).  The problem was that more than 70% of them required remedial courses in both math and English just to get started.  At the end of the first year (and subsequently), more than 80% dropped out due to failing grades.  
 
I argued that the policies that needed addressing were NOT the admission requirements for the UC system, but the K-12 education that the students had NOT received prior to their UC admission.  But rather than tackle the powerful unions, the chairman sought the easier solution--for him.  The students lost and continue to lose to this day.   
 
It&#039;s time for a Separation of School and State.  Immediately. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To answer your question, yes and no.  Chinese- and Japanese-Americans are minorities, but since as a group they value education above almost everything else, we tend to forget that they are, in fact, minorities.   By and large, their girls manage to get through high school and college without becoming single mothers, and their boys usually aren&#039;t the ones in the news for being found dead after a gang shooting.  After college, they, men and women, go on to become successful IT specialists, surgeons, professors, and so on.  So--yes and no.  If the black community wants to approach this level of success, it&#039;s going to have to get over the whole victimhood thing (reparations were paid 150 years ago in the blood of thousands upon thousands of Northern white boys that soaked into the soil all across the South), and teach its young people to behave with some sense of decency: no gangs, no drug dealing, no single mothers with multiple children on public assistance. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What troubles me most is the way majority of Black students are being literally screwed by the education system. Because Black students are not performing at the same level as the white and Asian students, we have lowered the standards for all students. So we now treat all students as college material which literally frustrates many Black students because many cannot handle the work. Many drop out of high school. ( I believe the drop out rate for Black males hovers at about 50%....someone correct me if I am off.) Most of these are people who are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves but end up becoming angry, bitter and a liability to society. No wonder we have a race problem in this country! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A great writer!  I love both him and Thomas Sowell.  I hate that they have been derided by the black community as traitors to their own color.  They are, instead, models of incredible success.  They out-perform most whites in their field.   
 
Walter, the sad thing is that over the years, we have known many excellent black teachers.  However, we saw (as educators) with our own eyes what happens to most black children, even many who were top of their class, honor students in elementary school.  When they went on up to HS the demand to adapt to the hip hop and gansta black culture was so strong that most of these students dropped out of any attempt to maintain good grades, become part of the honor society, etc.  It was heartbreaking to see such talent go to waste.  When passing them in the supermarket or another store, they recognized you, but lowered their heads, at first, then became more careful to ignore or bypass you. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ &#8220;Differences in Passing Rates on Praxis I Tests by Race/Ethnicity Group&#8221; (March 2011), the percentages of blacks who passed the Praxis I reading, writing and mathematics tests on their first try were 41, 44 and 37, respectively. For white test takers, the respective percentages were 82, 80 and 78.&quot; 
 
Heaven forbid that the black students be accused of acting &quot;white&quot;.  So much for the idea that affirmative action will level the playing field.  The only thing it levels is the disfunction of blacks to the point where to have enough minority candidates for public service jobs is to give them a 30% bonus on civil service tests to even bring them up to par with the mean of white candidates.  Blacks have been dumbed down over the last 40 years to the point where they lack even basic skills to survivie hence the 50% unemployment rate among black millenials.  Welcome to the plantation boys...

		<description><![CDATA[That&#039;s right.  Continue to equivocate as a natural defensive reaction to overwhelming news that blacks in this country are educationally underperforming at abysmal rates in comparisons to whites and others.  It makes you feel good to do so.  It helps to shield you from having to face reality.  I understand that.  But it does nothing to either confront or help fix the problem. Try as you might, you can&#039;t run away from the numbers.  And while there are numerous reasons, it&#039;s clear from Mr. Williams&#039; unabashed reporting that political correctness, affirmative action and the rise of the AFT and NEA have collectively doomed our public schools and, most especially, black students. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What Williams is saying is somewhat in conflict with your comment in that its the early education that our state schools provide black students that leaves them unable to perform well on the  Praxis test.  Also note that, even though the majority of black test takers failed the Praxis on their first try, somewhere around 40% did not and around 20% of white test takers also failed.  We have to deal with the test failures whether they are black or white. ]]></description>
