The Wicomico County Board of Education was presented with the district’s MCAP scores at their October 10th meeting. However, no board member questioned as to why expectations are set lower for certain races. In the school system’s imaginary world of equity where their goal is to have equal outcomes, their expectations are both a contradiction and a fallacy.
Below you will see slides from the district’s “Expectations by Student Group,” which clearly displays the expectations that they set. Where is the NAACP? All students have the potential to achieve, and their ability has nothing to do with race or the color of their skin. However, that’s not what the State of Maryland or the public school system thinks.
It all comes down to money and exploitation. Race is big business, and the creation of disparities and crises creates financial opportunity for the establishment. As long as this is entertained by society, the system will keep people oppressed, because they profit from it. Is this acceptable? Crickets…
Is it racist to do it or is it racist not to ? Probably best to set a standard and not examine the results
The author appears to be a CRT enthusiast. Always seeking to divide instead of trying to improve on the system. Once again, this is a great way for DCM and its members to increase membership. By the way who are the members of this group? Can anyone provide a list to the public or would they like to continue to hide and kibitz? Who is hiding in this group?
“Trying to improve on the system”. Simply hilarious!
Take RACE out of everything period !!!
So they basically just said if you have brown or black skin you’re a dummy and we’re going to push you thru. Funny thing is this won’t upset the black and brown community. They will just keep voting blue even after being labeled stupid.
Original poster has mixed apples and oranges.
Charts show testing proficiency by grade levels on various standardized tests. As shown, proficiency varies widely by racial background in same grades and same tests. But contrary to headline same standard for proficiency covers all races.
Sadly, historical proficiency gaps between the races remain despite numerous programs and tons of money spent attempting to close the gaps.
