“Anti-racism” is finding itself the goal of more and more school districts as critical race theory takes hold. Teachers are attending seminars on the white supremacist foundation of math classes: it’s considered “whiteness” to focus on students getting the “right answer,” and rather than asking students to show their work (which is also a form of white supremacy), teachers are encouraged to offer alternatives, such as having students make TikTok videos to show their understanding of abstract concepts. And nothing is more rooted in white supremacy than standardized testing.
New York congressman and former middle school principal Jamaal Bowman tweeted this cartoon the other day, and all it makes us wonder is, does Bowman really see children in the classroom as different as a bird and a fish?
Jamaal Bowman ~ Our education system and the problem with standardized testing.
Wow, Congressman ... are you really this stupid? You cluelessly believe you are making a cogent point, but the only thing you are really doing is highlighting the point on top of your head.
eigenrobot ~ Rethink this.
Congressman Bowman has the opportunity to rethink this, but I'm not sure he has the ability.
Bari Weiss calls it “the neo-racism of ‘anti-racism.'”
Bari Weiss is the former op-ed staff editor and writer about culture and politics at The New York Times.
Bari Weiss ~ The neo-racism of "anti-racism."
Yep ... there it is.
Dave Rubin ~ Former middle school teacher turned progressive politician. Combo made in woke hell.
VoxYehudi ~ Wokism is mental illness wrapped in racism disguised as political correctness.
DING! DING! DING! THIS is a great definition of what it is to be "woke"! Racist libtard morons.
TAFKA ~ The whole reason for testing is different people have different skills and abilities. If they didn’t and we were all the same there’d literally be no reason to test.
Das Kapital Management ~ Isn't he making a case for individualized education and this school choice/charter schools/alternative education models?
StCharlesGary ~ So, different human beings are entirely different species from an evolutionary standpoint? That seems wrong to me.
Yeah, but the Congressman is too clueless to even see that, so ... it looks like his representative species would be a slug.
patricia connor ~ Oh look, we're comparing kids of different races to different kinds of animals. Let's teach kids that certain "races" are inherently better at "standardized tests" than others. This is so wack!
Maybe it’s not about race at all. But what are the chances of that?
M. Morningstar ~ Are we all separate species now?
Bonk ~ So, you're saying that the differences between any two human beings is the same as the difference between an elephant and a penguin?
Did you pause and think about this for a single second before Tweeting this, because it is embarrassingly stupid.
Positive Entropy ~ He is just saying that different human groups are like different species, and that monkeys invented trees to screw with goldfish.
Heh heh heh heh heh.
I got your #Unity right here ~
Sean Agnew ~ This was not well thought out and doesn't do what you think it does.
Peter Young ~ By his cartoon we shouldn’t be able to do the same work either. Does he list which jobs are better suited to which “races”? Could this cartoon be any more racist?
Razor ~ The statement that expecting people to read and do math is analogous to a goldfish climbing a tree doesn't make the point you think it does.
Mark Ashworth ~ This person is a member of congress.
Yeah, think about THAT for a moment, eh? Next thing you know, he'll be wondering out loud whether the build-up of U.S. military personnel will be heavy enough to sink the island of Guam.
Peter Ingemi ~ I'm old enough to remember when activists thought it was offensive to suggest that different humans were not of the same species.
The argument over standardized testing is moot when we’re at the point where we’re arguing about the “whiteness” of getting the “right” answer to a math problem.
