Hey Belzer Shmoiger!
So you want the Yeshivois to teach that "Shvartzers" are superior?
Are you concerned that the goyim won't get an education now ...?
Or
Are you just interested in harassing "heimishe" moisdois???
Start with the public schools first!
City kids are struggling with basic math and English— but a new Department of Education curricular initiative focuses instead on racial privilege and activism, The Post has learned.
Pushed by Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza, the “Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education” program will require schools to “identify and interrupt policies and practices that center historically advantaged social/cultural groups and lead to predictable outcomes of success or failure for historically marginalized students.”
“The simplistic narrative that is being peddled is white privilege,” said Maud Maron, president of Community Education Council 2.
“What’s confounding about this proposal is that it doesn’t acknowledge the successes of students doing well in New York City public schools and instead identifies it as problematic white privilege,” she added,
Maron, who is running for the City Council in lower Manhattan, added, “They also have to deal with the inconvenient fact that somehow, low-income Asian students are outperforming all other groups in a system they argue historically and currently centers whiteness.”
The DOE directive further states that classroom activities should “foster critical consciousness about historical and contemporary forms of bias oppression” and that schools should now “promote student agency to end societal inequities.”
In an interview with education news website Chalkbeat earlier this month, outgoing Deputy Chancellor Phil Weinberg said that CR-SE “has been the biggest system-wide change that we’re seeing right now.”
The controversial initiative is part of an overall policy by Carranza that also includes a widespread desegregation plan to combat what education officials have referred to as “implicit bias’’ in the system. But the schools chief’s proposals have only served to pit parents against each another along racial lines, critics charge.
“This is just a diversion,” charged Mona Davids, of the NYC Parents Union. “This is to distract parents from the fact that their kids are not being educated properly and are graduating illiterate and innumerate.”
She argued that the DOE is trespassing on instructional territory once reserved for parents.
“This isn’t their job,” she said. “Their only job is to educate our children so they can be productive citizens and compete. If they can’t do math or English — which is basically air and water for their future — then they won’t have a future.”
DOE spokeswoman Danielle Filson denied the CR-SE was a push against “white privilege,” and said, “New York City’s diversity is its greatest strength, and it should be reflected in our lessons and textbooks.”
“New York City students live in a diverse, vibrant, and inspiring city – a city that also reflects the complex system of biases and inequities deeply rooted in this country’s history, culture and institutions,” the department said.
Maron said, “I think there is value in the culturally responsive education curriculum that is being discussed, but it runs the very real risk — as I have seen it implemented in my district — of making education an afterthought in our schools.”
The measure will be voted on by the Panel for Educational Policy next week. Of its 13 members, eight are appointed by the mayor and the others by borough presidents.
The DOE has invited public comment on CR-SE but has received only six varied e-mailed replies.
The department noted that state education officials issued a similar framework in 2018 and that the inclusive approach to instruction has been adopted elsewhere.
Officials stressed that the goal is to make all kids feel represented in school subject matter and that the strategy has been proven to boost performance.
What's profound is that is this individual would invest the same degree of effort in doing successful business as he does for this agenda driven project he would probably be successful. He wasn't educated to do this but he managed to figure out how to do it. That itself is proof against his cause. Success in business and life has nothing to do with education, we don't need to look further than this shmoyger to see that!
ReplyDeleteCensoring my comments. Real nice.
ReplyDeleteYou complain about the ignorant Satmar Romanians and you complain about the guy who's trying to do something about it.
Aren't you a bit confused?
