Got into a pretty heated debate with my wife last night about race.

The fact that you are choosing to misunderstand what I'm saying when it's in pretty plain language and contained in a small post tells me you have a lot of repressed white guilt.

He is a moron.

Less so compared to most willing to put out this kind of content.

Lmao at black schools being subpar. Maybe in the South the funding is not there but in NJ and probably much more of the NE that’s laughable. The schools that are “subpar” are subpar because of the parents. That’s it. I’d say the students but that’s not fair to them.

What does parents have to do with it? Bear in mind, I don't know much about American education system.

People have kids, oftentimes many kids, who shouldn’t be parents. Plain and simple. The kids hit the school system. Like their parents, they’re a mess, unmotivated, have ODD, and on and on. It’s a great cycle.

I can't speak to NJ, but subpar schooling is definitely true in most of the Midwest, cities like Boston in the NE, etc.

School quality, in as much as it is determined by financial factors, are always going to be in more well to do neighborhoods. And the more well to do neighborhoods, of course, are whiter, in part because of the practice of redlining, but also due to other forms of oppression against minorities. So, sure, there are always the stories about the scrappy school teacher who teaches well in spite of the obstacles, but those stories are memorable because they are the exception. And often fictional.

Familiarity with the schools locally, knowledge of how property taxes work, etc.

Isn’t Wes a teacher? Still loling

I’ll put it another way. You could take the teachers from one of the best high schools in the state and put them at Trenton High School or the like and it would make little to no difference.
