COLLEGE LEADES NEED TO SAY ‘NO’ TO SUCH COURSES: ‘Antisemitism on steroids’: Pro-Israel law professor rips Cornell’Gaza’ course

YOU CAN THANK THE EDUCATION DEEP STATE (I.E., THE FEDERAL AND STATE DEPARTMENTS OF EDUCATION, THE TEACHERS’ UNIONS, THE SO-CALLED “ED SCHOOLS,” THE LICENSING AGENCIES, TEXTBOOK MANUFACTURERS, ETC.) FOR THIS TOTAL MELTDOWN. There is now no other choice but to ABOLISH the government schools and return to a free-market in education: U.S. math scores show ‘devastating’ decline.

 

The declines were “steep” and “devastating,” said Peggy Carr, commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics. While high achievers held their own, low-performing students lost the most, widening achievement gaps.

 

“One in five U.S. eighth graders scored below the low benchmark, meaning they lacked even basic proficiency,” Meltzer writes. That’s way up from earlier years.

 

The drop in science scores was less extreme, but U.S. fourth-graders now score worse in science than they did in 1995.

 

Singapore, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Japan topped the rankings. Poland, Sweden and Australia made the greatest gains, passing the U.S. “We have countries leapfrogging over us,” Carr said.

 

It’s not clear whether school closures, which lasted longer in the U.S. than in Europe or Asia, led to more learning loss. But one of the countries that raised achievement, Sweden, didn’t close elementary schools or mandate masks.

DEI IS Deflating On a national level, incoming President Trump will hopefully rescind all of Joe Biden’s executive orders implementing DEI and gender theory, including Executive Order 13985, which advanced a “whole-of-government equity agenda.”

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion mania is ebbing and may be on its way out.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has, over the past several years, become part of the fabric of American institutions, notably businesses and schools. In a nutshell, DEI pays no mind to quality but, instead, is a system whereby racial bean counting is the sine qua non of our culture. While this has already been a disastrous policy for all concerned, a recent study delves into the serious damage it has done.

EMPHATICALLY YES: End, Don’t Mend DEI
