The third paragraph:
However, substantial obstacles to equal educational opportunity still remain in America's educational system. African Americans lack equal access to highly effective teachers and principals, safe schools, and challenging college-preparatory classes, and they disproportionately experience school discipline and referrals to special education. African American student achievement not only lags behind that of their domestic peers by an average of two grade levels, but also behind students in almost every other developed nation. Over a third of African American students do not graduate from high school on time with a regular high school diploma, and only four percent of African American high school graduates interested in college are college-ready across a range of subjects. An even greater number of African American males do not graduate with a regular high school diploma, and African American males also experience disparate rates of incarceration.
It sounds like like someone isn't studying, doesn't it? Sounds like they don't try. Sounds like they have to take some responsibility for their own actions somewhere along the line.
No number of programs are going to help someone who is determined to get something for nothing.
We have Title I that helps disadvantaged youth in school. Why aren't they taking advantage of that? Why aren't the parents taking responsibility for their own kids?
I would say chauvinism. Or just favouritism, or partisanism. This move is about favouring blacks not about "down with whitey".
Having said that, I don't think it's a good move for Obama. If it was a "minority" outreach sort of thing, that would be better. I don't think singling out one racial group is smart.
"Minority" isn't better either. Disadvantaged youth come in all colors.
Good point. Disadvantaged would be the better approach.
And, constitutional.Keep on topic. Do you think it's fair having a Black Depart of Education when their are other races suffering from the same ills that the black student suffers from? Why not include them? What have a Department of Education singling out ONE RACE?
This is just racism, plain and simple. We already have a Department of Education that is supposed to be directing the education of all students, races, colors and impediments they face.
I think the office that Obama is suggesting is under the DoE. It is not an entire department that acts on its own.
In any case, is it not better for this office to serve all children that may possess a disadvantage to obtaining higher education? That, I believe, is a better focus for an education intiative on Obama's part.
I mean, he is a 'constitutional scholar', right? And, the Constitution prohibits discrimination based on race, for example, right?
OP? Yup, there's plenty of discrimination- that's why blacks need all the help they can get. Just check some of the RW idiots on here.
Thanks for the depression and the total obstruction and fear mongering...
Cmon cons let me hear you say it was a level playing field before affirmative action. Go head. Lol!
Or let me hear you say now blacks have the upper hand.
If you can't say either of these, you're whining for nothing.

How do you think blacks have the upper hand. Obviously, they're too stupid or lazy or uninspired to do anything without some extra help. Upper hand...not likely.
