Young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don’t even know what the word ‘computer’ is

[IM2]

Do lefties really believe that (white) republicans are responsible for black ignorance in the Bronx after a hundred years of failed federal education sponsored by democrats not to mention LBJ's ironically named "Great Society" that substituted poverty pimps for a black family structure and fifty years of democrat party leadership in NY? WTF is this babe talking about?

The problem is white racism in general. LBJ's Great Society didn't do anything. and Republicans have been governors and Mayors in New York. Why is it that you Republicans try blaming everything on Democtats? The last 2 Republican presidents fucked up the entire country. Bush had republican majorities in both houses for 6 out of his 8 years and left a depression created by Republican deregulation. My state implemented the ultimate Republican plan, tax cuts for the rich, which were supposed to trickle down amd create a great economy. This was the result:

The Kansas experiment was a controversial tax policy and agenda by Kansas Governor Sam Brownback in 2012 that had lasting effects in the state of Kansas from May 2012 until June 2017. It drew widespread attention following Kansas Senate Bill Substitute HB 2117, a bill signed into law by Brownback in May 2012. It was one of the largest income tax cuts in the state's history. The Kansas experiment has also been called the "Great Kansas Tax Cut Experiment", the "Red-state experiment", "the tax experiment in Kansas", and "one of the cleanest experiments for how tax cuts affect economic growth in the U.S." The cuts were based on model legislation published by the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), supported by supply-side economist Arthur Laffer, and anti-tax leader Grover Norquist.] The law cut taxes by US $231 million in its first year, and cuts were projected to total US $934 million annually after six years, by eliminating taxes on business income for the owners of almost 200,000 businesses and cutting individual income tax rates.

Brownback compared his tax policies with those of Ronald Reagan, and described them as "a real live experiment", which would be a "shot of adrenaline into the heart of the Kansas economy", and predicted that by 2020 they would have created an additional 23,000 jobs. By 2017, state revenues had fallen by hundreds of millions of dollars, causing spending on roads, bridges, and education to be slashed. With economic growth remaining consistently below average, the Republican Legislature of Kansas voted to roll back the cuts; although Brownback vetoed the repeal, the legislature succeeded in overriding his veto.

Every state that had a Repubican governor tried similiar things and they created things like the Flint water crisis and the ongoing problems in Jackson Mississippi. Instead of looking at the failures of national and state republican policy, the right disingenuously tries blaming cities ran by black mayors. It's another dogwhistle used in the white rght wing race hustle.

I'm surprised you didn't hear this since you will often argue with us about how racism, past & present still [allegedly never] impacts our lives.

New Florida standards teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught useful skills​

​

The standards, which were blasted by a statewide teachers' union as a "step backward," were approved Wednesday by the State Board of Education.​

​

Florida’s public schools will now teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them useful skills, part of new African American history standards approved Wednesday that were blasted by a state teachers' union as a “step backward.”​

​

The Florida State Board of Education’s new standards includes controversial language about how “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” according to a 216-page document about the state’s 2023 standards in social studies, posted by the Florida Department of Education.​

​

Other language that has drawn the ire of some educators and education advocates includes teaching about how Black people were also perpetrators of violence during race massacres.

​

That language says, “Instruction includes acts of violence perpetrated against and by African Americans but is not limited to 1906 Atlanta Race Riot, 1919 Washington, D.C. Race Riot, 1920 Ocoee Massacre, 1921 Tulsa Massacre and the 1923 Rosewood Massacre.”​

​

The Florida Education Association, a statewide teachers’ union representing about 150,000 teachers, called the new standards “a disservice to Florida’s students and are a big step backward for a state that has required teaching African American history since 1994.”​

​

VP Harris speaks out against Florida Board of Education over new curriculum​

​

“How can our students ever be equipped for the future if they don’t have a full, honest picture of where we’ve come from? Florida’s students deserve a world-class education that equips them to be successful adults who can help heal our nation’s divisions rather than deepen them,” Andrew Spar, president of the union, said in the statement.​

​

“Gov. DeSantis is pursuing a political agenda guaranteed to set good people against one another, and in the process he’s cheating our kids," Spar said. "They deserve the full truth of American history, the good and the bad.”​

​

The union said it is troubling that at the high school level, the standards conflate the 1920 Ocoee Massacre, when at least 30 African Americans were killed for attempting to vote, with “acts of violence perpetrated by African Americans.” And in middle school, the standards require students be taught slavery was beneficial to African Americans because it helped them develop skills, the union said.​

​

Updates to the African American history curriculum were required by a controversial 2022 law that Gov. Ron DeSantis dubbed the “Stop Wrongs To Our Kids and Employees Act,” or “Stop WOKE Act,” NBC South Florida reported.​

​

A spokesperson from the Florida Department of Education on Thursday provided a response to NBC News’ questions through a statement from Dr. William Allen and Dr. Frances Presley Rice, who are members of Florida’s African American History Standards Workgroup.​

​

The new standards were defended in the statement as “comprehensive and rigorous instruction on African American History. We proudly stand behind these African American History Standards,” the statement said.​

​

“The intent of this particular benchmark clarification is to show that some slaves developed highly specialized trades from which they benefitted. This is factual and well documented," it added.​

​

The statement continued, “Some examples include: blacksmiths like Ned Cobb, Henry Blair, Lewis Latimer and John Henry; shoemakers like James Forten, Paul Cuffe and Betty Washington Lewis; fishing and shipping industry workers like Jupiter Hammon, John Chavis, William Whipper and Crispus Attucks; tailors like Elizabeth Keckley, James Thomas and Marietta Carter; and teachers like Betsey Stockton and Booker T. Washington.”​

​

It’s “disappointing” that some detractors would devalue the research from the work group and reduce it to “a few isolated expressions without context," the statement said.​

​

A representative for Gov. DeSantis could be immediately reached for comment Thursday.​

​

In January, DeSantis’ administration blocked a new Advanced Placement course on African American studies from being taught in high schools, saying it violates state law and was historically inaccurate. The state pointing to six areas of concern and works by Kimberlé W. Crenshaw, bell hooks, Angela Davis and other Black authors.​

​

That same month, DeSantis and Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. discussed the issue at a news conference. They said that the course was a Trojan horse for “indoctrinating” students with a left-wing ideology under the guise of teaching about the Black experience and African American history.​

Yeah, but why say ”black”? Why not just say “poor kids” in the Bronx?

Because that's her perception of Black people/Black children - poor, disadvantaged and ignorant.

Implicit bias on display.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is facing backlash for saying that black children in the Bronx don't know the word "computer".
"Right now, we have young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word 'computer' is," she said. "They don't know these things."
The Democrat made the comments while speaking to a technology panel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
Ms Hochul later said that she misspoke and regrets it.

Over and over the Democrats tell black people what they think of them. But black people just keep voting for them…..

The democrat Party is blatantly racist

......and you would vote for her over any republican on the planet.

That's not what DeSantis did?

You do know that American students are dumber than Asian students across the board. Yet, Democrats believe teaching a bunch of nonsense to soothe feelings is more important than advanced math and science.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

People who live in Ivory Towers tend to think that way.

All white democrats think that way. They believe blacks are inherently inferior and can’t get by without sympathy and government help. The real white supremacists.

Can you imagine if DeSantis said this? Blm would call for a riot.

The Asian students are taught their real history. We teach math and science in America. The only feelings that have been soothed by teaching history here is the feelings of of white racists. U.S. students aren't dumber than students from Asian countries, that's a lie and entrance exams or IQ tests have been shown to be inaccurate measures of intelligence. There is moreto ife than math and science. If we invested less on military and law enforcement and more on education and social servces, we'd be better off.

Math and science propel us into the future rather than teaching feelings based courses. This is why S. Korea and Japan have higher standard of living than the US. China isn't far behind. If China isn't communist, the US would get thrown into the corner. Yet, despite that, Chinese students scored higher than US students.

I am sure this Demaklan leader regrets saying her true feelings out loud.

Both things propel us not the future. I hate to be captain obvious but not every kid is interested in math and science. Forcing that on everybody is not going to make us better. Again, fuck IQ test scores, they do not prove inteligence. Our standard of living is not because we don't make everybody study only math and science. And a lot of things are science, advertising is a science, psychology is a science, sociology is a science, gerentology is a science, and I can go on, so you can stop the idiotic right wing crowing about feelings because right wing ideology is based only on feelings as we see daily in this forum.

Actually only far right white republicans think that way. Furthermore far right white republlicans ignore and deny how the only way whites have gotten by is due to sympathy and government help. It is all part of white right wing cognitve dissonance and psychosis.

Government did not really grow until the mid 1960's. It took off. State, city, local, regional and federal agendas. So, before that, a higher percentage of people were on their own.

Lol...you mean DeSantis is evil for making one standard for everyone?

What standard is that? MAWA.
