Title: If you can't keep up we'll lower the bar for you.

Keeping with his race-based ideology, President Obama has named the nation’s first African American education czar to focus on improving the academic performance of black students and countering the discrimination that persists in public schools around the country.

The official title is Executive Director of White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans and the task is to reduce “racial isolation and resegregation of elementary and secondary schools.” Despite decades-old desegregation laws, “substantial obstacles” to equal educational opportunities still remain in America’s public school system, according to the president. Therefore the academic performance of black students has for decades lagged behind whites and other ethnic minorities.

So last summer the commander-in-chief issued an executive order to create a special White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. The goal is to tackle a rampant crisis of perpetually low academic performance and high dropout rates among black students. African Americans lack equal access to highly effective teachers and principals, safe schools and challenging college-preparatory classes and they disproportionately experience school discipline and referrals to special education, according to the executive order.

President Obama also threw this often-cited statistic into his race-based educational excellence executive order: “African American males also experience disparate rates of incarceration.” Presumably, his new initiative will bring the numbers down. The effort includes the creation of a new President’s Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans and a special “working group” consisting of senior officials from the departments of Justice, Education, Labor and White House Domestic Policy Council.

The idea is to provide the support that will enable African American students to improve their level of educational achievement through rigorous and well-rounded academic and support services that will prepare them for college, a career, and a lifetime of learning.” The new black education czar, David J. Johns, will work to identify evidence-based best practices to improve African American student achievement from cradle to career, according to an announcement issued by the Education Department.

Of interesting note is that the administration is actually paying states to set new academic achievement targets based on race and income, with lower goals for black, Hispanic and poor kids and higher ones for whites and Asians. Washington D.C. became the first American public school system to adapt the new race-based standards last fall. A federal education official explained in a mainstream newspaper that the administration is just “trying to be realistic about what’s achievable.”

A few weeks later Florida adopted the unprecedented race-based achievement targets for all of the 2.6 million students that attend the state’s 3,629 public schools. Like the area surrounding the nation’s capital, the Sunshine State set higher reading and math achievement standards for Asians and white students and lower goals for blacks and Hispanics. This seems to contradict the president’s executive order to improve educational outcomes for African Americans of all ages by, among other things, eliminating “substantial obstacles to equal education” and offering “challenging college-preparatory classes.”

Looks like Mr Jim (Crow) is arising from the dead...

And about time too. All they had to do is look at the self-segregating school systems of any major metropolitan area. There are several lawsuits working right now over Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools being forced to merge. The city wants the county's teachers, the county does not want the city's students. County schools have windows, real food, no dress code. City schools have dress codes, armed guards, bars on the very few (if any) windows and commodities slop (preparing the students for a life of incarceration per chance)...

I went to public schools for K-8. Nobody was singled out for special ed more than anyone else. Every race and blending was present in the school, everyone had the same teacher corp over the years, none of the classes were segregated. I do remember the kids with white teachers got more out of the curriculum than those with non-white teachers, but, teaching style more than anything else.

9-12 I went to a Jesuit Preparatory Academy. There, color didn't matter. No classes were "dumbed down" for anybody. All ages and races were held to the same standards for grades, behavior, appearance, etc. Males student knocks up a female student, both are expelled. Get caught "thugging it up" you were expelled. Caught smoking, expelled. Sneak off campus for lunch, detention, and Jesuit detention does not mean stay after school and act like an animal. It meant community service.

Race based achievement standards... what a crock. America, "Land of the Free (ride for lazy bastards)" "Home of Depraved (indifference)".

The problem here is that he is only looking to help the blacks. What about the poor folk with other then black skin. They face the same problems. Only helping one group is racism.
