After making racist statement, S.F. school board member apologizes

[SFGbob]

A San Francisco school board member apologized Tuesday after she made a racist statement, saying one of the biggest challenges in educating Black and brown students was their “unstable family environments” and “lack of parental encouragement to focus on learning.”[/i][/b]

“From my very limited exposure in the past four months to the challenges of educating marginalized students especially in the black and brown community, I see one of the biggest challenges as being the lack of family support for those students. Unstable family environments caused by housing and food insecurity along with lack of parental encouragement to focus on learning cause children to not be able to focus on or value learning,” Hsu responded in part to the question. “That makes teachers’ work harder because they have to take care of emotional and behavioral issues of students before they can teach them. That is not fair to the teachers.”[/i]

Another example of the left just dying to have that "honest" discussion about race.

She should have held her ground. If people were not cowards, this shit would get addressed. Earlier my wife showed me a vid of a bunch of young black women in Vegas beating the crap out of an older white female Uber driver. For no GD reason. I'm sure their PARENT was deeply involved in all aspects of their lives.

Some things just never change, because the bald-faced facts are obscured, ignored and buried, for fear of offense.

As if being offended is the paramount concern in any community, over housing, food, and the rest. FMFYFE

To an affluent leftard, they just assume they are due housing, food and the rest. When you have no education in history, science, math and economics the right for them not to be offended does become their top priority.

Then the question I have is this: Are you honestly concerned with your kid's education and learning if you're completely unwilling to listen to anything that might be critical of your parenting skills? The answer is obvious. You'll pay lip service to the importance of education but you're not willing to do anything that might force you to evaluate your own failings and how they might be contributing to your kid's shitty school performance.

It's not YOUR FAULT is sung by the liberal chorus 24/7/365.

And we all know who's fault it really is, don't we?

Woke progressives are fucking clueless

The dirty little secret is that most white, upper income, progressives know that the way to succeed academically is to study and do the work. They don't let their kids watch six hours of TV or spend all day playing video games. But they don't think black and brown parents have the same capacity that they do. They don't see them as equal and they don't hold them to the same standards they hold themselves and their kids to. Nearly all my liberal friends send their kids to private schools and are very demanding regarding their kids academic performance.

I have literally watched upper middle class white libs try to sell black parents on the nobility and wisdom of letting the state raise their kids.

I don't think I've ever witnessed anything as cynical, demeaning and outright racist in my whole life.

P.S. What tears a family apart faster than outsourcing parenting to the state? As we complain about broken homes and families, let's all remember who fosters it.

They get to call their teacher a bitch and look at their cell phones for the entire class period?

Yeah, something tells me that people who are paying $45K a year to send their little Tanners and Ainsleys to Harvard Westlake aren't too keen on allowing the classrooms their kids sit in to become disruptive shitholes where no learning or education is possible. They only support that kind of behavior in the public schools that their kids never set foot in.

You think the Obamas ever had to face that kind of behavior when they were sending their kids to Sidwell Friends? Fuck no. But Obama sure wanted all the parents who send their kids to public school to have to live with that shit.

Just mention charter schools and tuition vouchers and their heads explode. Giving the poor an opportunity for an actual education isn't a passive issue to leftards like the dazzler, it's one of their biggest fears.

I will never forget going to parents night at my daughter's school to meet her 2nd grade teacher. in a class of 25 or so- only two parents didn't make it. Just a couple of years earlier, the teacher had been able to move from her public school job to teach at our Catholic school (taking a $10K paycut). She told us her previous public school had the reverse turnout where only a couple of parents bothered to show up. She had parents who tried to bully her, one kid threw a shoe at her, etc. Good Old Atlanta Public schools.

This is how the dems keep blacks on the plantation. Destroy their families. Government is their daddy. Daddy controls the money. Don't ever deviate.

The local Catholic elementary school Lady of the Lake in Lake Oswego has a $12,000 tuition compared to the $16 grand that the West Linn school district pays. St. Clare Catholic school in Portland is $9,800. Like everything else, the private sector can do it better with less money.

Pretty sure we were Sub $10K for grade school. High School was more like $14K (plus a good lean on a donation). We lived in one of the best School districts in Georgia but the first day we went to sign her up for kindergarten we were told there were spaces but we needed to go into the lottery. Meaning we would still get our City of Decatur School, but maybe not the one literally down the street.

This seemed odd to me- there are spaces but we need to go into a lottery? The lottery wouldn't be held until the following month. I asked the Asst Superintendent- So someone could move in from another state and have the same chance as our daughter even though we had lived in and paid city of Decatur taxes for 10 years? A very hesitant "yes" was the answer. We started interviewing Catholic schools the next week. Best decision ever. Irony alert- Private school was much more integrated than our local kindergarten/grade school.

I agree that the policies of the Federal government have done serious damage to black families but nobody was ever forced to take the handout. Getting on the public teat was a choice. Having kids out of wedlock is also a choice.

Let's see getting paid per kid makes the choice a lot easier. As you have said, a smoker gets more heavily criticized than having kids out of wedlock that you can't afford to take care of.

It's not even close. In Blue America who is more a public pariah, the woman who has kids out of wedlock that she can't afford, or the guy who uses the word "faggot" in public?

Bell curve may be in play here?
