It's safe to assume any news story that implies blacks have been intimidated or threatened on a racial basis is a pack of lies.
The AP is running a story about how black people are being hunted down and lynched. They’re laying the blame on racism. All of the deaths but one have been ruled a suicide, the one murder was committed by black men.

I've learned more about the richness of American culture from 1873 onward from the Coen Brothers than from anybody else. Somebody should eventually give the Coens a major award as great patriots, such as the Presidential medal of freedom.

This stuff is obviously more widely believed and more socially destructive than anything Alex Jones has ever said.
This is pure anti-White blood libel being pushed by the Congressional Black Caucus and validated by the General Cousnel of the NAACP, the President of the National Urban League, and other major figures.
And nobody from the regime media will call them out.

It helps that Fryer is a bona fide intellectual instead of an astroturfed media sensation.
When Roland Fryer sought to improve 20 struggling Houston schools, he implemented five practices: more instructional time, high-dosage tutoring, frequent teacher feedback, data-driven instruction and a culture of high expectations.
The results were extraordinary.
In math, elementary students gained four additional months of learning each year; secondary students gained nearly eight months in a nine-month school year. Every graduating senior in the high schools was admitted to a two- or four-year college.
Roland Fryer writes about Nikole Hannah-Jones, school choice, and the real way to turn struggling schools around in @WSJ: wsj.com/opinion/the-educatio…

Even when the left discovers stuff like this, they aren't willing to deliver the punishment necessary to reform a thoroughly rotten system.
Absolutely beyond parody. Dartmouth’s provost has been turning in 70-100-percent AI-written work (in academic journals, newspapers, and even in email correspondence!) since LLMs came out, the student paper reports. He even used AI to write an op-ed about how universities are dealing with AI cheating.

If 6th grade math is beyond you as an adult...Deray was working with some really dumb parents.
My parents checked my calculus homework in high school. Neither of them took calculus, but they had me explain it to them which helped tremendously with my own understanding. They said if I couldn't explain it simply I really didn't understand it.

Everyone is mad because she judged harshly others who lived *their* values.
I honestly do not understand why everyone is mad at Nikole Hannah-Jones! She attempted to live her values, was confronted by incredibly difficult choices, then changed her mind and worked through these choices in public with integrity! What more do you people want from her?!

In which a NYT employee whose job it was to cover education reveals herself to be substantially less perceptive than huge numbers of people she would condemn as bigots.
Writing a public self-reckoning takes real vulnerability. NHJ’s daughter running headfirst into the academic gaps masked by years of easy A’s is gut-wrenching. But the author seems to miss a deeper truth: the parents she judged weren't defecting from integration and equality; they were simply protecting their kids.

Everyone needs to remember this very important irony of the @nhannahjones story:
Her daughter is not extremely bright. It's hard to say this in a way that doesn't sound rude. I'm not saying she's stupid or unintelligent. But really bright kids go through the same experience her daughter did and come out the other side with solid skills. NHJ's daughter is undoubtedly of slightly above average intelligence, but that's considerably less than is average for a child of a NYT writer.
Her daughter is clearly hardworking, analytical, and ambitious. She rejected her mother's values. She demanded more.
BUT if NHJ had put her daughter in a "better" school (read higher average student ability) her daughter would have gotten lower grades. NHJ would have then complained about the racist practices of the better schools.
Racial integration of schools AUTOMATICALLY leads to lower grades for the lower achieving students, and the achievement gap being what it is, black kids will get the lower grades. The whole push behind emphasizing grades over scores and using grades instead of scores is *because* majority black high schools can produce kids like NHJ's daughter who have good grades and look, on paper, indistinguishable from kids with much better abilities.
Colleges *rely* on "segregated" (read majority black/majority hispanic) schools. So do NYC high schools.
Ironically, if her daughter had gotten lower grades she never would have been accepted at the good high school.
