Marlon James EER Article - Comments

I have not done a Google search for Marlon James Loyola University for a while (there is a LOT of Windsor stuff that comes up now).  At a website, American Renaissance, was the April 3 Steven Goode Hartford Courant article about the signing of the EER, followed by 103 comments.  The comments reminded me of our Windsor Patch.  I had to do some editing, for this posting, but the link for the website is provided.  .............

Windsor School Equality Study to Begin

Steven Goode, Martford Courant, April 3, 2013

The contract is signed and the Loyola University consultant who will be conducting a three- year Excellence and Equity Review at Windsor High School will begin work this weekend with a community meeting.

But the most crucial step in the $328,000 study to close the achievement gap among Windsor’s minority students may take place Monday when the consultant, Marlon James, an assistant professor at Loyola in Chicago, meets with the high school faculty and union representatives. James will discuss his view that white teachers, who represent about 90 percent of educators, have an implicit bias that leads them to expect less from minority students.

According to the contract between the university and Windsor schools, the objective for the first year of the study will be to gather and process “data on what philosophies, practices, politics and policies that support and/or impede closing the achievement gap,” and “examine every aspect of learning, teaching and leadership critical to student achievement.”

To that end the consultants will be reviewing 10 years worth of documentation related to board of education meetings, school improvement plans, disciplinary and achievement data and other educational information related to the district.

“We’re really trying to delve into what’s in place,” schools superintendent Jeffrey Villar said. “They’re going to give our system a thorough work over.”

Villar, who came under fire from some school board members about the cost and focus of the project and the manner in which it was approved, said he supported it because he wants to find the answer to Windsor’s achievement gap.

Villar was able to put criticism over the cost of the project to rest by getting the state Department of Education to agree to fund it through an alliance grant Windsor is receiving because it is among the poorest performing districts in the state.

But some board members are still concerned that in the end teachers will be blamed and labeled as “biased.”

According to the contract, year two of the study will include a focus on building corporate and community partnerships for students. The final year, according to the contract, will “revisit the Excellence and Equity Review to determine the level of commitment, change and capacity for sustaining equity work at WHS.”

  We all know the solution to closing the gap: CHEAT!

  It always works until the cheaters are caught.

It's only "cheating" if YT does it.

White people wrote those "racist" rules, according to all the crooks running Atlanta's government-school system and its clones all across the nation.

In Atlanta, scores of government-employees in the over-funded government-schools have been ripping off the taxpayers to the tune of hundreds of millions for decades and in exchange the taxpayers are getting generations of hundreds of thousands of illiterate hate-filled violent criminals swamping our law-enforcement agencies, clogging up our courts and prisons.

Look how much more Government We "need", you Racist-Americans!

Pay your fair share!

This government and everything it has stood for the last 100 years is now swirling the drain and desperately wants to take the whole civilized world down with it.

For no other "reason" by our masters than to see if it can finally be pulled off just for the hell of it.

That's the bottom line of Leftists/fascists/commies/socialists/Democrats...to render the conditions necessary for human survival ultimately impossible for the populace/taxpayers/subjects.

For their amusement and personal enrichment, nothing more.

    Priceless, man. A fair summary of their stated defense, too.

  Thanks.
  Their defense is that out of the 35 crooks indicted in this huge defrauding of the taxpayers, "how many White faces do you see? None!" (prima-facie evidence of "racism"

  Massive Government failure and corruption perpetrated by scores of black government-employees.
  If you know how Government works, you can be sure the Federal government will be dumping billions more in taxpayer funding to cure this "racism" and "hate" the White taxpayers keep inflicting upon these poor best upon African-American communities.

  Can you imagine what these poor white kids have to go through each day being from the enemy race, the evil white race?

Trust me, it stinks to high heaven. My parents did not have the financial wherewithal to bail out of city. The only thing that made my high school tolerable was that in most of my classes; it was majority white. We may have been on the same campus, but there was a school within a school to retain the few whites in the district. One class where there were 4 white students and about 20 blacks was the required government class. "Coach Jackson" would try to explain some of these concepts that most white 3rd graders could understand, but he was met with a lot of glazed looks. I think he would just give out C's for showing up and being quiet. Coach Jackson had to deal with a black principal and assistant principal.

Back in the 1970's, my elementary school was about 60% W/40% B (with an occasional Asian or Hispanic here and there). Once I got into the higher grades, the lower ones began shifting rapidly. to something approaching 80% B/20% W. This school is now 95% B and anyone counted as white is probably hispanic. My brother had to drop 40 grand from the original asking price to get rid of my parents house after my mom passed away. It was not the house, but the school district that was the problem.

    More than likely, Section 8, the Federal program is meant to export "families" of violent black criminals who have been on welfare for generations into YOUR neighborhood and erode your property values and terrorize your neighborhood schools.
    Paid for by the taxpayers, because they vote for that stuff.

    Yeah, but it's culturally enriching for everyone, right?

    Your story illustrates a good reason for having schools that are separate-but-equal.

Lucky me. I grew up in an almost completely lily-white military town in the middle of nowhere. There was the odd black, latino and Filipino at school, but because the school was so homogeneous, everything worked smoothly, and though we weren't rich, the education we got was first rate. No one gave anyone a hard time, and respected each other. Looking back on it all, 40 years later, I see that such a school system as we enjoyed now only exists in memory.

  Why else would they still be carrying on and feasting on the corpses of all those people killed in Newtown by that nut case Adam Lanza guy?

  The Left knows that if they can strip away the 2nd Amendment, they have the keys-to-the-kingdom.
  Unfettered global tyranny over the slaves allowed to survive.
