Taking things from white people

Took a ride up to the top of Mt Washington today.

I was a stranger in my own home.

Half the population of Calcutta was crammed up there.

Not one person in a hundred was a native, NH, white person.

Black Nationalist Gets $20 Million to Promote ‘Segregation’ in Public Schools

https://www.thefp.com/p/black-nationalist-josh-shapiro-segregation-bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation

Sharif El-Mekki envisions a world where ‘all black students are taught by same-race teachers.’

He is backed by the Gates Foundation, NBC Universal, Nike, and the Bezos Family Foundation.

Sharif El-Mekki is an adviser to Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. He also supports school segregation, is a member of the Black Panther Party with family ties to Iran, and runs a nonprofit that has raked in nearly $20 million in donations from the government and nonprofits, including the Gates Foundation.

El-Mekki, a former middle and high school teacher and principal, founded the Center for Black Educator Development (CBED) in 2019, which defines its vision as “a world where. . . all black students are taught by high-quality, same-race teachers,” and where “all teachers demonstrate high levels of expertise in anti-racist mindsets.” CBED argues that employing black teachers to educate black students increases educational outcomes.

Since its founding, CBED has trained thousands of teachers across the U.S. in “education activism,” urging a “commitment to liberation education from the racism inherent in America’s institutions, including our schools.” A CBED information packet titled “The Anti-Racist Guide to Teacher Retention,” developed with the Pennsylvania Department of Education, defines education as “a political act” that “can upend white supremacy and a racist history of using education as an oppressive social force.”

“Every lesson plan is a political document, and every classroom interaction a political statement,” the guide reads.

Well I actually went to his website.

Looking for the "Only hire black teachers" page and so far I'm not finding it. I did find this:

A TNTP academic observer and a fifth-grade teacher from a trajectory-changing school profiled in The Opportunity Makers.​

I'm not sure if the white late is the "academic observer" or the fifth-grade teacher. But considering the fact that the school system is already still segregated because Biden helped kill busing, I would think that everybody would want the kids in public school, black or white, to have the best opportunity of success as possible. The more black students who go on to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, teachers, nurses etc, the less likely you are to get car jacked.
 
She was a renter, but yes there is no context beyond that.

Here is the post with the clip.

Ohio law allows for eviction in as little as three days.

Ah. Okay. I had a renter ask me for help (black) who faced a three day eviction even though she was caught up on her rent because she was keeping puppy for a friend and the puppy bit a mantenance worker who ahd come by her apartment for some reason. Based on Tennessee law there wasn't anything I could do.

I agree, and he is saying what I have been saying all along: black students, especially black male students, perform better when taught by strong black men.

Cool! So....I clicked on your links and they don't seem to support the claim that he's pushing for segregation. On page 4 of the in the 2nd link it says "40% of all public schools have no teachers of color." If he was a segregationist he would be complaining about the number of schools that have at least one white teacher and saying those white teachers should be pushed out of teaching at black schools. But he's not saying that at all. Page 1 of that report has the title "The National Black Teacher Pipeline." I presume that means "The way to have more black teachers is to get more black college students to go into teaching." (That's usually what's meant by "filling the pipeline.") The fact that people misread what is being done as somehow "segregation" goes a long way to explain why the whole conversation about race is needlessly toxic. Segregation was never about getting more white people to go into a particular field but it was about blocking black people from those fields. I'm not bothered one bit that Caitlin Clark is doing well in the WNBA. And someone took active steps to get more white people to take up basketball and ultimately try out for the WNBA or the NBA I wouldn't call that segregationist. Quite the opposite in fact.
