Biden Ed Dept. plans to make ‘equity’ (aka forced outcomes) focus of schools

[Counselor706]

The Biden Department of Education outlined Wednesday how it will spend the “American Rescue Plan’s historic funding for schools” in order to advance “equity” as a central focus of education in the nation’s public schools.

The education department said its announcements “are part of the Department’s ongoing efforts to implement President Biden’s Day One Executive Order to advance racial equity and support for underserved communities across the federal government and build our schools and communities back better than before the pandemic.”

Some public schools have lost students to private, religious, and homeschooling when attempts to introduce remote learning often failed during the pandemic and teachers’ unions blocked the reopening of K-12 schools for in-person learning.

Additionally, the Biden education department will launch a virtual “Equity Summit Series,” beginning June 22 and continuing over the coming months, that aims to urge schools to “infuse equity into all of their work.”

He's a moderate!!

LOL

It's like the (D)'s keep saying that to re-assure themselves more than anyone else.

It's not clear from the story what in practice is meant by "equity" -- but, if it means national per-pupil equalization of school budgets, that's something worth doing. There's no reason why kids who go to school in poor states or districts should have less spent on them than residents of rich ones.

Yup.....how else will they get all that "social justice" and "progress" without it??

OH just make it impossible to be racist against white people by simply saying so!

How so? What is racist about wanting kids from poorer communities to have a chance at an equally good education as those who happened to be born to rich or upper middle class parents?

Same as any other equity seeking....how do you get the equity??? The 'social justice???

Because the left at large thinks the way to do that is to punish/disadvantage the white or white enough kids will make everything wonderful for the kids of color....but not Asians they don't count because they're 'white adjacent' for some reason. Or the Jews.....or a Latino person who doesn't toe the progressive line and does well for themselves, they are also 'white adjacent' Nazis.

Their open and blatant discrimination against racial groups who do better is well documented, and when that fails you'll blame people wearing eye glasses. Communist control freaks trying to bully equal life outcomes for all....ya'll are the fuckin same as ever.
