I read through the whistle blower document.
Now, I have studied the pedagogy, and have never, myself, been a fan of STATE compulsory education, it has, for over a century failed the minority community.
It isn't so much generational "white privilege," in the aspect of just wealth, but it is also, the culture, in black communities, which hold back some folks. This is why Hispanics do better, and why Asians, do MUCH better.
I remember learning how white families passed down the phonics method of reading, in their homes, to teach reading. . . and minorities never had this tradition. And then, in the 30's and 40's they introduced the "see & say," method of learning to read, and this put minorities even further behind, because other folks had this familial knowledge, where others did not.
The real privledge in America? Are family values, and family knowledge of how to live in this culture. If you ask immigrants from Africa, if they want anything to do with black Americans, most of them will tell you no, because they just don't share the same cultural values. Coming from slaves, black Americans HAD to depend on each other. Most other minorities are like the whites in this nation. . . rugged individualism, and competition is embraced by everyone else.
After reading this document, it seems more an effort to address this problem, than it does to tear down the dominant white culture. This is not the threat to the main, that the OP makes it out to be, but, on OTH, it is an retrenchment of our failed schooling system and more of the same. It will not lead to liberation of the black community, and greater integration and equality of our greatest minority population, to whom this nation owes the greatest debt. It is a grave disservice to them, IMO.
IMO though? I still like the idea of vouchers as a better solution.
The types of pedagogic strategies pushed in this document, are insulting to the minority communities, they patronize them, and it seems like a band-aid to fix socioeconomic inequality. It will only, in the long run, continue the problem, or cause long term friction. It makes it seem like we can never, and will never integrate as complete nation. Maybe this is what the elites want?
As long as the government and corporate elites still push a separate black American sub-culture, and it's values are based on a community identity, and one of victimization by the dominant culture, rather than participation in the greater culture, which every other minority group in America embraces?
This is not a viable solution, it is just a protection racket for the NEA and public school teachers, administrative jobs, and the failing system. It won't, in the end, ever work.
