   Once again a great video that does not draw the lines together for you.

   If you have no decent education, even hough the monetary resources may be allocated equally, then the problem is oversight for hiring and training teachers to do their jobs effectively and accountability to do that ongoingly, but, when you have a union for teachers that is there working to it’s own satisfaction and not to any standard, it will subvert standards and progress, leaving the children’s education as the statistic of failure rather than the matrix principle.

   – White privilege can’t be addressed because here is nothing that can be done about it that will do any good for people of color other than to educate whites to get the degree to which they benefit from it.
   It still will not be an effective means of upgrading poor schools.
   –
   White schools enjoy pitching in and donations that poor black schools can’t due to the economic reality of separate but equal created by non integration or “default economic segregation”.

   We’ll have to bootstrap to be equal, and that is fair and good, because you can’t lose what you teach yourself through labor done for your own community, and that’s a lesson we have not learned well enough, have not passed down often enough, and that is where the greatest value of literacy resides.
   There is no place on this earth in the future for a person of any color that can not read and write well if blessed with the capacity to do so.
