    …you’ve got to say this for Dems, they’re consistent.

    AND persistent.

    …165 years later, still keeping their slaves ignorant even as they use them to harvest, but this time the crop is votes and it will be a bitter feast indeed…

  2. Have you seen what passes for a professor and a university degree these days?

    If the teachers graduate from these types of liberal universities how can they possibly teach what they themselves did not learn?

  3. …I remember one teacher, you a young Black woman in her very early 20s, who was to be my son’s English teacher when he was around 12. We met her at an open house, and she handed out a syllabus titled “Ms. Yolandas (not her real name, but similarly missing punctuation) Bangin’ (found the apostrophe) English Class”.

    Which was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors as it attempted to convey all the Black militants writings that she would be extolling, along with lessons celebrating multicultural sentence structure.

    We left immediately and got him placed in another class. They hadn’t crossed the stupid horizon fully at that point, but we did end up yanking him completely not long after that.

    Side Note:
    Evidently she meant the “Bangin'” literally, even if she didn’t know the word for it, because she was found later to be having after-hours parties with several of her larger adolescent students, which the school was pretty tight-lipped about, but word was that such sessions were open-legged classes where the focus shifted to Sex Ed, proving pedophilia isn’t JUST for the boys. Seems like there was a LOT of that around then, if you remember all the “pregnant teacher” stories a decade or so back.

    …one wonders if she taught them the words for that…

  4. …remember that this crap’s been going on awhile, too,and just gets WORSE because no one STOPS them…

    “On March 24, 2014 at the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) Championships at Indiana University, two Towson University students, Ameena Ruffin and Korey Johnson, became the first African-American women to win a national college debate tournament, for which the resolution asked whether the U.S. president’s war powers should be restricted. Rather than address the resolution straight on, Ruffin and Johnson, along with other teams of African-Americans, attacked its premise. The more pressing issue, they argued, is how the U.S. government is at war with poor black communities.

    In the final round, Ruffin and Johnson squared off against Rashid Campbell and George Lee from the University of Oklahoma, two highly accomplished African-American debaters with distinctive dreadlocks and dashikis. Over four hours, the two teams engaged in a heated discussion of concepts like “nigga authenticity” and performed hip-hop and spoken-word poetry in the traditional timed format. At one point during Lee’s rebuttal, the clock ran out but he refused to yield the floor. “Fuck the time!” he yelled. His partner Campbell, who won the top speaker award at the National Debate Tournament two weeks later, had been unfairly targeted by the police at the debate venue just days before, and cited this experience as evidence for his case against the government’s treatment of poor African-Americans.”

    …and we wonder why they can’t read or think or do anything but hate.

    Well, I don’t wonder.

    They can’t read or think or do anything but hate because that’s what Democrats taught them.

    …which, in turn, is what the devil taught the Democrats.

    …and they’ve learned their lessons well…

    “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
    John 8:44

    The Devil lies and divides. You can know the truth if you can read the Word of the Lord, but if you’re taught to read only in Ebonics and you’re also taught that Jesus is the White Man’s God, the truth will NEVER be able to reach you to set you free.

    …which is EXACTLY what the Democrats WANT…

  5. Public schools in D.C. can’t be Prussian enough and that’s just to maintain a minimum level of literacy which isn’t all that impressive in the first place. Suddenly switch to “distance learning” and the bottom falls out.

  6. I like Just The News but you can’t measure kindergartner’s “literacy progress” over a few months like this. Ridiculous.

    And the info comes from WaPo.

    Careful with the articles that are conflating or preparing to conflate the “remote learning” — nonsense where teachers who were often incompetent in person now do ad hoc zoom “teaching” over the internet —

    and homeschooling, which has none of these issues.

  7. @SNS

    I used to know how to spell and punctuate, but after 35 years of receiving e-mails, texts, hand written disasters, I have no Idea anymore. I think we all realize that English is not really spoken on job sites any more and I really have no ability to practice.

    Sincerely,

    Rick, Ric, Rik, Ricc. All ways people have spelt my name FFS.
