Dare to Ask - Education Equity. Who are the Majority and Minority by Race and Poverty Status?

Written in Barb Nied 2015 See Original post 

When looking at the above photo, did you see a tiny bird in a spoon? or did you see a large spoon with a tiny bird? or did you see the same size spoon as the bird?
I read on a blog recently “knowledge is power.” Now using this knowledge in a constructive and not hurtful/harmful way would be the way to go, using knowledge because you might be on a power trip or you are thinking that you have an advantage over someone or some situation would not necessary be the way to go. This is where vulnerabilities comes in, for you or the other person or whatever that maybe in the knowledge that you are giving up/or not giving up. Being vulnerable?, Here my Metaphor on this tiny bird, this bird is very vulnerable. What did you see in the photo? My Metaphor is not about race, but knowledge is power and that can make or break any human. When a group of people have an agenda it effects the vulnerable.


Education Equity. Who are the Majority and Minority by Race and Poverty Level? 


Perception

I am going to go out of the norm and look at the stats in a sorta different way, a different perception because it does matter how you perceive. Perception and what it actually is. Your perception may vary when things become emotional over what has been occurring with a group of people who have been placing Critical Race Theory into the classroom or your job, your perception isn't wrong something is wrong. 


30 plus years of real Equity in the Education system has been replace with Inequity; lack of fairness, used by people of Brown or Black skin people throughout the Education System and the Work Force within the United States of America claiming that Whites are and will always be racist towards Brown or Black people and that it has a disadvantage because you are racist and your child in pre-school to 12th grade must learn that all White people are racist and have had White Privilege's.

No matter what you do or say you are still a racist, not all people think this way just the ones who believe you should know you are a racist and that every child in school or work place should accommodate Brown or Black people.

The word "Equity" has been used throughout the Education System for more years then what you think. The word Equity: justice according to natural law or right specifically freedom from bias or favoritism. You don't favor one over the other and it's suppose to be fair in Education for all Students. The civil rights laws enforced by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) protect all students, regardless of religious identity, from discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, and age.

For the following question; Education Equity. Who are the Majority and Minority by Race and Poverty Status?

 I am going to use term Equity. Why? Because the word "Equity" is being used in a variety of different definitions and meanings throughout Social Media and the News Media and The Education System and Workforce. The new implementation of Equity is being used as a Race tool in Schools and at your place of employment. Therefore my color of my Brown or Black skin matters and it's inequity not really equity but calling for equity, confused? That's the point. 

There is one thing that isn't confusing, the people who are claiming you are racist because you are White believe you are, they are not confused about it and they have no problem forcing that onto you or your child.

Equity will be defined as "Fairness" in my Dare to Ask.
Inequity: lack of fairness or justice.

The Education System has defined the Minority as all other races - non White.  

I will use the following definitions: Majority Group and Minority Group

  • Minority groupA minority group, are fewer in numbers than the Majority.
  • Majority groups - Are often statistical majorities, meaning the group with the most people.
Majority

  • As of 2020 there are 325.7 Million people in America, the Majority would be White. 
  • The Total of 37.2 Million American's are at Poverty Status out of the total of 325.7 Million people.
  • The Total of White American's is 194.3 Million.
  • 72.3 Million American's are under the age of 18. 11.6 Million of those under 18 years old fall under the poverty status under Federal Guidelines.
  • Of the 194.3 Million of American's who are at poverty level there are 15.9 Million total American's who are White that are at the poverty level status. 
Minority

  • As of 2020 there are 325.7 Million people in America. Rates below 2021.
  • The Total of Black American's is 43.4 Million
  • Out of the 43.4 Million Black American's in Poverty Status is 8.5 Million that fall under the Status of Poverty Federal Guidelines. 
  • There are 20.2 Million Asian's - 1.6 Million are at Poverty Status
  • Hispanic and other Race 61.2 Million - 10.4 Million are at Poverty Status 



Based on Poverty -  "Equity" Fairness

The following video below is Beck Pringle from The National Education Association who thinks we should confront Racism and what her student thinks, at a young age we can place anything we want into to minds when one has an agenda. SEL was developed for the Urban Community and not for the whole Majority just for the Minority. Poverty comes in all races. 

  • Critical Race Theory is based on the premise that White people have to much and has been harmful to others because White People are the Racist ones out of all Races.
  • From the above Poverty stats the Majority are White People and is at the higher rate of poverty because their are more White people then non White people.

Lawmakers and boards of education in many U.S. states have proposed limiting what teachers can teach about race. National Education Association President Becky Pringle spoke with Anne-Marie Green and Vladimir Duthiers on CBSN about how teachers are fighting back and why many believe students should learn about systemic racism.


When you implement a school program it's suppose to fair "Equity" Social Emotional Learning and Critical Race Theory is inequity -- unfair and the guilt placed as therefore I am White person and I have too much and you are a racist because you are White, that is untrue as there are White People who live in poverty. 


What is Critical Race Theory (CRT)?
Critical Race Theory claims that American society is fundamentally racist and that it is organized to help the white race oppress “people of color.” Some terms that are common to CRT and that have been defined by CRT theorists are “white privilege,” “whiteness,” “white supremacy,” “unconscious bias,” “implicit bias,” “systemic racism,” and “institutionalized racism.” At times, CRT proponents support affirmative action and reparations. Under CRT, only a member of a given “oppressed” minority has the right to speak about the racism that affects them. CRT generally denies that America is a meritocracy, or even that a meritocracy is a just society. A key goal of CRT is “equity” (or equality of outcomes) for all people or at least all groups. Equal opportunity is rarely mentioned because CRT proponents believe that this is not possible in a fundamentally racist society like America.

Challenging Mass Exodus out of Public Schools - The pitfalls it may have on Children. Home school vs Public School. CRT, SEL, EQUITY

 

"Apples (Malus Domestica) (1908) by Amanda Almira Newton. Original from U.S. Department of Agriculture Pomological Watercolor Collection. Rare and Special Collections, National Agricultural Library. Digitally enhanced by rawpixel." is marked with CC0 1.0             

 
 What's at Stake Your Child's Well-being? 
A Mass Exodus?

 
 

 Exodus noun

  1. A departure of a large number of people.
  2. The departure of the Israelites from Egypt.
  3. A going out; departure from a place; especially, the migration of large bodies of people or animals from one country or region to another; specifically, in history, the departure of the Israelites from Egypt under the leadership of Moses.

 

An Apple a day keeps the the doctor away!

The first stems from the biblical story of Adam and Eve. Here, the “Tree of Knowledge,” from which Eve eats the forbidden fruit, is often depicted as an apple tree. The apple, therefore, is the fruit of knowledge, making it a fitting gift for a teacher. 

 
"The Apple Seed that you plant should be well taken care of; you plant the seed, you water it and take care of it, watch it grow and it produces wonderful fruit. The Seeds of learning placed into a child mind and watch him/her flourish is how we produce healthy adults; we don't produce fruit or greatness by watching it wither away." - Barb Nied
 
admissionsly.com -As of 2020, there is 130,930 recorded number of K-12 schools in the United States of America (U.S.A), according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

Opinion:

The Questioning of Mass Exodus on Children across America, the heated discussion on what should be done to benefit a childs learning needs of recently of "what the heck is my child learning?" Critical Race Theory? Not the 3 R's thrown in with Social Emotional Learning.

The public school system has change within 20+ years with SEL and placing a college course on PreK-12 of Critical Race Theory into the minds of children and adults. SEL Social Emotional Learning & CRT and Equity if you do not go along, you are a supremacist part of the KKK or a White Nationalist and some educators are agreeing and placing parents and child in a not so nice situation. What happened to the Educators? How did they end up this way? do we fight by Mass Exodus and leave them stranded with no help? How does that benefit the Educational system?

With homeschooling, I have to go by my insight of dealing with a company that offered Home Schooling and it was a fiasco, I don't think all homeschooling is bad, the question is what factors does it really benefit for the child's learning needs. You can go far as to say many homes schools get paid money from the state and each child has a dollar symbol attached and as a parent you hope that the Educational Facility that is offering homeschooling is doing it for all the right reasons. 

As stated above I am not against homeschooling as long as the child benefits and excels not only in studies but emotionally. To have a Mass Exodus of mass leaving in the now systemic problems in the educational system doesn't stop the systemic problems in the United States System, it does help bring notice to the problems that the United States of America's Education Institutions are facing from parents. 

The damage has been done. The Psychological affects has already seeped into the minds of Adults and Children with Critical Race and Equity. Now what do we do? Mass Exist?  I believe we stay and speak up and change and make a number 1 priory to fix the Systemic problems caused by people who are adults who made this happen. You hold adults accountable for their action or non-action in protecting the very core of the future of the United States by what is taught in school. To take SEL and for people to taint it and inter mingling with it a Marxist Ideology and no one take notice is so very alarming beyond reason.

SEL start out on focusing on the less fortunate children and programs that were not available.  Social Emotional Learning was I believed to be a concept used for children with a learning disability, not a school disability but there is the problem, not all children have emotional problems and are stable. The emotional damage of Critical Race Theory is not Equity - It just not fair.

 Physical Building a School

The hunger of a child in poor household and the child gets fed at a public school, I hope in the year 2021 that is not happening as was in prior school years. When the weak doesn't have anyone to speak up for them, sometimes you find that help in a public school. We should always give children every opportunity in the world for a child to learn and that a child feels safe and can depend on walking in a school and can depend on the people in that school building to tend to the child. 

  • “Recent research shows that many children who do not have enough to eat wind up with diminished capacity to understand and learn. Children don’t have to be starving for this to happen. Even mild undernutrition – the kind most common among poor people in America – can do it.” Carl Sagan

Teachers who play one of the most significant parts of a child's life besides a parent is a teacher and its school.  The new wave of non-attachment over a computer screen is not the same as in person. Social Emotional impact and learning over a computer screen and not being able to be in the same room with your peers must have a psychological affect; wearing a mask all the time even in your home, not hugging, not standing by your peers or even playing in the schoolyard having fun with no care or worry's has enormous of consequences of a child development socially & emotionally and now throwing in Critical Race Theory and Equity, it appears not all is playing the same on the same playground and a Mass Exodus would affect Teachers throughout the United States of America and even their children, what shall we do then with those teachers?

Covid Happened

The child shouldn't be worrying to death of getting Covid or the person that he might be sitting next to will give him/her Cooties, the stress now on display is disturbing and it's the adults fault, not the child's.

Suicides among young children and teens. As shown at ucdavis.edu, before Covid hit suicide is the second leading cause of death among people ages 10-24 and has been increasing every year since 2007

 

The biggest increase in youth deaths occurred in the 15-24 age bracket — the age group most susceptible to committing suicide, and which constitutes 91% of youth suicides. Indeed, as early as July 2020 — just four months into the pandemic — CDC Director Robert Redfield remarked that 

·         there has been another cost that we’ve seen, particularly in high schools. We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID. We’re seeing far greater deaths from drug overdose.

  • Robert Redfield, MD, Director, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: But there has been another cost that we’ve seen, particularly in high schools. We’re seeing, sadly, far greater suicides now than we are deaths from COVID. We’re seeing far greater deaths from drug overdose that are above excess that we had as background than we are seeing the deaths from COVID. So this is why I keep coming back for the overall social being of individuals, is let’s all work together and find out how we can find common ground to get these schools open in a way that people are comfortable and their safe.

 

Home School: Some states requirement are the same as a public school and some home schools get away with more then a public school, no one is overseeing who running a tight ship at at home school. I agree that some home schools are done with the intent with the ideology of the household religion or are fed up with what was being taught to their child. Numerous reason to home school children but a mass exodus? how would that benefit the whole educational system? Not every parent can afford to stay at home or home school and yes their are still parents  who don't even know they have options. To take a stand that mass exodus will increase in better learning? What about children in a School Setting that has a learning disabilities, I understand home schools have IEP specialist and they form a plan for the child learning needs (IDEA) Some children cannot sit in front a computer screen and do the work on their own they need special attention. 

I don't agree with Mass Exodus as it's seems just to complicated and not only will the child education suffer the teachers as well.  It's emotional for all involved and maybe that is what the intent was after all.

Each parent will have to decide and speak up to what is best for their child's education needs are.  You may disagree with the entire opinion above and have your take on the educational system, I hope you do and comment as parents, teachers and educational administrators.  We need solutions not arresting parents for disagreeing with an Education System that has become Emotionally Broken.
