Confederates attack minority students at U of Texas

I don't consider it racist for blacks to kill blacks. That is idiotic. I do consider it moronic for blacks and other Americans to obsessed about the Martin/Zimmerman shooting a very rare thing instead of looking at the problems in their own community. Example? Single mothers. For both blacks and whites being a single mother means they are much more likely to be poor.

The only ones I see obsessing about black-on-black crime here are the teabaggers, and right-wingers who watch too much FauxNews...

Speaking of racism why do so many liberals want to keep minorities ignorant.

Justice Department bids to trap poor, black children in ineffective schools



By Editorial Board, Published: September 1
NINE OF 10 Louisiana children who receive vouchers to attend private schools are black. All are poor and, if not for the state assistance, would be consigned to low-performing or failing schools with little chance of learning the skills they will need to succeed as adults. So it’s bewildering, if not downright perverse, for the Obama administration to use the banner of civil rights to bring a misguided suit that would block these disadvantaged students from getting the better educational opportunities they are due.

The Justice Department has petitioned a U.S. District Courtto bar Louisiana from awarding vouchers for the 2014-15 school year to students in public school systems that are under federal desegregation orders, unless the vouchers are first approved by a federal judge. The government argues that allowing students to leave their public schools for vouchered private schools threatens to disrupt the desegregation of school systems. A hearing is tentatively set for Sept. 19."...

You mean the Louisiana Board of Education that is still insisting on teaching CREATIONISM in the schools in place of science?...And teaching climate-change-denial in place of science?...

You BET the DoJ are denying vouchers to the political knuckle-draggers who want to use taxpayer funds to teach kids in religious schools against the wishes of taxpayers who don't want their tax-money used for such purposes.

So, I dispute your whole "keep minorities ignorant" argument...Unless, of course you mean that keeping minorities out of schools that teach right-wing propaganda as 'fact' can be considered "insuring that they don't come out of school as ignorant as the legislators that passed such stupid requirements..."

Scientists criticize creationism, Louisiana Science Education Act at conference

The Botanical Society of America devoted a symposium Monday in New Orleans to railing against and ridiculing the Louisiana Science Education Act. Panelists said the 2008 law allows the teaching of creationism in science class and has made the state an international laughingstock.

"It's not about teaching science. It's about sneaking creationism into the classroom," said Zack Kopplin, a college student and one of Louisiana's leading anti-creationism advocate. "You don't need a law to teach critical thinking in science." Kopplin's father, Andy, is former chief of staff to two Louisiana governors and current deputy mayor of New Orleans.

If that's considered "keeping minorities stupid" by the teabaggers, PLEASE let the obstruction continue....

Yep, can't have those African-Americans going to college! Besides it is the LA public schools teaching creationism!!!! Letting the minority kids go to private religious schools lets them learn about creationism in theology classes and the big bang theory in science classes. I know some of the atheist liberals won't believe this, but my Catholic private high school taught me that the Old Testament wasn't Gospel. (Excuse the pun!). And even parts of the New Testament should be read with a grain of salt, especially Revelation.

OMIGOD!!!!! And guess what, it didn't convert us all into life long hardcore Catholics!

As long as they don't do it with taxpayer money, I don't care what they do... If Louisiana wants to be an international laughing-stock, who am I to deprive Jindal and the Stupids of the right to do it.

Once again, it lets kids escape a system that holds them down. And sounds like a good use of taxpayer money to me.

Once again, obviously, the DoJ thinks you're wrong... lol

Personally, I could give a rat's @ss what you think a "good use of taxpayer money" is... based on the rest of your ideas.

Wow, back in the 1960's the Dems in the DOJ thought integrating minority kids into the better schools was a good idea. But LJ and Holder would rather they drop out and not attend college rather than take any money out of failing public school systems. "We care more about the teachers than the kids!"

Wow, back in the 1940's, the KKK was hanging and burning black people from trees in Louisiana...

How far do you want to go back to get ripped to shreds, Fred?
