Saboteur of civil rights in education

mercredi 19 avril 2017 à 02:00

The acting saboteur of civil rights in education is opposed to civil rights.

The problem US blacks confront goes deeper than the poverty that increasing numbers of them grow up in and spend their lives in. (After all, that's happening to whites, too.) They still experience the aftereffects of discriminatory law (first slavery, then segregation), which propagate from generation to generation. The US and various states owe compensation to the descendants of people who were victimized in that way, and the compensation has to be enough to undo the lasting harm.

As for education, ideally we would provide every child with a good education and a safe, unstressful environment to learn in. We don't have to use race as a rough approximation for having a disadvantage. What this requires is money, but we could get it easily if we defeat dooH niboR.
