U.S. President Barack Obama hugging student (not the one mentioned in this story)
My godbrother goes to an esteemed Florida university and plays on the football team. Recently, a student from a neighboring community college (university) explained what happened when a professor finished speaking and opened a discussion up to debate.
The topic of the debate was the BP oil crisis and a black student, tired of Obama being bashed by the professor, stated of the President, "What do you want the ni**a to do, put on snorkels, go into the sea and plug the bi**h himself!" Oh dear. Do remember that the next time you decide to cut educational funding (grants to community colleges).
U.S. President Barack Obama decried the erosion of education in America and has pledged to devote more funds to improving schools and universities.
It should also be noted, pop culture entertainment is also contributing to eroding kids minds and test scores, as the standards Hollywood has put forth are so low, children seeking to emulate them, end up aspiring to the wrong things.
Hollywood often knocks intelligence prompting the most sexist and racist stereotypes, some kids feel the need to fall between, when it does not define and determine who they are as people.
I heard an excerpt of a rap song today, right before I turned it off, regarding a rapper decrying education. In the lyrics he braggingly referred to himself as uneducated and stated women that did well in school, now lunge after the dollars he throws on the ground, equating them to strippers.
