aannddd PROOF that liberals think blacks can't make it on their own.
funny thing is, he doesn't even realize what a pile of shit he is twards minorities.
The interesting fact is that the Department of Education already has programs for disadvantaged youth. Why are we duplicating their efforts? If these programs are not working, then deal with those programs, but don't create a new department just for one race. There's more than one race that is having a difficult time making the grade.
If the present programs are not meeting the needs, change them. But allow all that need the help to get it.
That's the American way, not the Obama way.
Education is the responsibility of the states. Here in NJ, there are several departments with the NJDOE that promote minority issues. There is Affirmative Action and the Office of Minority Teacher Recruitment, amongst others. There are programs and regulations designed to enhance "educational equity" and close the achievement gap. We have "Abbott schools" that receive a disproportionate amount of taxpayers dollars to raise minority test scores.
None of it is working of course. But I'm sure the feds will be able to do a better a job.
This is nothing more than political pandering to black voters by our divider in chief. He is going after sub-groups like women, gays, Hispanics, etc. in order to secure the election in Nov.
Not only is this a campaign move, it will also serve his goals of increasing federal workers, and taking control of our schools.
Governmental agencies must create new regs. and policy recommendations every few months in order the justify their existence. I shudder to think how fucked up this will be.
This has NOTHING to do with black children.
