It took only a couple of posts for me to figure out the quality of (or lack of) debate I could expect from you. In fact, it was just the second of your posts in these forums. And this response simply continues the trend.

Having said that, what is this "culture" you speak of? May be the parents (anybody who is endorsing this idiotic idea) should not only consider private school but also move out of the neighborhood.

Does this make me "anti-white"? Only in your planet. To me white is just another color. May be it is beyond your abilities to comprehend it as such.

So you've got my backing.
I love the idea as well however the teachers unions will never accept this rational line of thought.

The OP has been posting anti-Dallas threads on here for a long time -- THIS STORY IS YEARS AGO. It was at one school and there have been firings, lawsuits etc ever since the news 'broke'.

I doubt it. If there is one group of people who know that every kid doesn't need to go to college its the teachers. And, there in lies the problem, the entire system is geared towards sending kids to college, the underlying mythology is that jobs increasingly require a college education, which I would argue is non-sense.

Teachers usually know by middle school which of their students have the ability to really go further. It is a waste of resources to try and get every kid to college when they have no desire or lack the ability to do so. Communism makes everyone equal. In the case of our educational system it pushes everyone down to the lowest common denominator.

Why do you think it is okay to be considered an inferior person? And that you don't deserve to be treated equal to everybody else?

Glad you agree because almost every single word was taken from white supremist websites, youtube videos, and the History Channel !!!

So now that we agree that it is racist, let's hear your moral outrage against the people who instituted a "seperate but equal " institution of education in the state of Texas.

Also if supposedly educated, moral, intelligent people agreed to this whole set up, how far from the remarks I made earlier, can they be in their mindset!!

Quite the contrary, in the former Soviet bloc countries educational opportunity was highly selective, students who weren't perceived as being gifted at an early age were tracked into vocational schools or more menial labors.

We agree here. Even the communists know a bad thing.
