Education Nabob Rails Against ‘White Suburban Moms’

By leeduigon

Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who used to preside over the circus of overpriced failure that is the Chicago public school system, has blamed “white suburban moms” for problems with “Common Core”–the scheme to have the federal government micro-manage all the nation’s public schools ( http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials-obama-care/111813-679647-d... ).

Common Core uses grammar, math, science, and history lessons to indoctrinate children into a state of left-wing Kool-Aid drinking–with lessons like, for instance, “The people must obey all the commands of government officials.” Sit. Heel. Beg. Roll over. Because the program is so enormous, unwieldy, and messianically ambitious, the feds have had a lot of problems with it.

I have interviewed Arne Duncan. What he wants for public education, down the road, is for children to be in school 12 hours a day for at least six, and maybe seven, days a week, all year round–no summer vacation, no time off for good behavior. This is because he believes families are incapable and irresponsible, fathers don’t really exist, and only the government has what it takes to raise children.

But it’s all the soccer moms‘ fault that Common Core isn’t a roaring success–them and their naughty pushback.

Then again, soccer moms voted for the Big Golem in the White House who made Arne the Grand Sultan of Education, so maybe it is their fault, after all.

You want leaders who will “take care of you”?

Sit. Stay. Play dead.

"Rather than defend a program accused of indoctrinating students via national standards and whose implementation is as bad as ObamaCare, Education Secretary Arne Duncan plays the race card.
"

This is what they always do isn't it? they can't debate the facts so all they can do is ridicule.

First of all going after white Mom's is not only evil and not nice, it ignores math.  As I understand it, test scores in the US by race are the following:

1. Asian Americans
2. White (European Ancestry) Americans
3. Hispanic Americans
4. African Americans

The Holder answer is to have four different standards and also to ensure college enrollments are mostly Black.  Let me guess that Oprah seconds the motion.  However, real problem solvers would choke.

If a person who claims to be good at math was going to pick on a group, which group would it be?  Well I am going to stun you all by saying "no group".  I agree with those who say the issue among Black children is the breakup up the families and that about 70% of those families are not families at all but single Moms.  Now I am not going to throw stones at single Black Moms since "I get it" - it is hard to have jobs, do all of the work at home, and also raise kids.

But what it shows is that this - whatever you wish to call him - is not on the right planet.  He is part of the group breaking up families.  If a person really cared about education, before jumping to ideologue conclusions, they would look at facts and data.  Why are Black children the lowest scores?  Then after solving that - then Hispanic Children ... and then European children.  But instead they start with the answer - the wrong answer - that families are no good and the government is filled with geniuses.

This is why coming from industry, I have no patience with these clowns.  I have had at least 25 years experience fixing quality problems.  You never begin with the answer.  You begin with the right questions, and then with an open mind, track down the reasons.  

These political clowns are a waste of all of our times.  And as we see here, in addition, they are just nasty and jerks.  

Liberals continue to confuse arrogance with intelligence.  I do not.

RN, you nailed.  Real problem solvers would choke at any of the left's attempts at solving something!
