Weekend Reading- "Upward Mobility Barriers"
At Creators.com, Walter E. Williams takes on the realities vs. the political correctness, and asks that we admit to, and deal with, the real problems:
"If I were a Klansman, wanting to sabotage black education, I couldn't find better allies than education establishment liberals and officials in the Obama administration, especially Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who in March 2010 announced that his department was 'going to reinvigorate civil rights enforcement.' For Duncan, the civil rights issue was that black elementary and high school students are disciplined at a higher rate than whites. His evidence for discrimination is that blacks are three and a half times more likely to be suspended or expelled than their white peers. Duncan and his Obama administration supporters conveniently ignored school 'racial discrimination' against whites, who are more than two times as likely to be suspended as Asians and Pacific Islanders."
