My intentions were to comment on the racist New Hampshire
Police Commissioner, but since yesterday was the 60th anniversary of
Brown vs. Board of Education landmark decision that de-segregated public schools;
I decided on the latter.
I know back in 1954 Black leader’s intentions were good and
were meant for the betterment of Black people. However, today situations have
changed to the point that the majority of public schools are once again
segregated. The reason why this is happening is irrelevant; the task at hand is
to figure out how to go about funding inner-city public schools which are
predominately Black, equivalent to suburban public schools which are predominately
White.
Most knowledgeable Americans know, or should know that at
least half or more of all property taxes go towards the funding of public
schools; this is where the topic of any brainstorming should start when it
comes to making all public schools equal.
Homeowners pay property taxes; the majority of homes are
located in suburbia America ,
which leads to the better schools located in suburbia America .
Inner-city schools receive mere pennies of those tax dollars which leads to the
worst schools located in the inner-cities.
Since the Federal Government contributes the least to our
public schools, I suggest the Federal Government subsidize the inner-city
public schools to bring them equivalent to suburban schools funding.
I don’t think integration is the answer to our future world
leaders to reach their GOD given potential, in my opinion separate and equal at
least gives the students in the inner-city who didn't get a fair bite at the
apple a chance to accomplish his/her potential.
There is no way any human being should continuously know
that another human being is better off solely because of born privileges.
Eventually the dumbest one will figure out something is not right with this. If
we can’t lift all of our young people to realize that all of us are in this
together; then we’re sending the wrong message.
I look at it like this, if we can find funding to build
schools in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine, Tripoli, and numerous of
other foreign states and countries; surely the richest country on earth can
find funds to make all of America’s schools separate and equal.
