US Fed Dept of Education - $ to End Race Gap
Because I had already used my one-call a week to Wisconsin Public Radio, I emailed this comment to Kathleen Dunn and her guest discussing the Obama Administration's announcement of millions of dollars to various school districts to close the racial gap. The Administration did this without Congressional approval, part of the dictatorial approach of Obama and the Democrats. Here I attack. My comment was not read on the radio program.
Kathleen Dunn, Wisconsin Public Radio:
The objective of the Fed. Dept of Education and Obama's Race to the Top is to reduce and end the racial gap in testing. Today's announcement about a new program by the Feds. is another example of this - with millions more appropriated to close the racial gap. Thus, if white students as a group do as poorly as Black students, the Feds can cheer and call their program a success. Bush's No Left Behind program was just as foolish.
Here is one more reason to abolish the Federal Dept. of Education. "Race to the top"? Or waste at the top, bottom, and all over?
Schools should ignore race gaps and teach to improve the education of all students.-------Hugh Murray
