Nikita Bush's career as a public school teacher came to an end when she faced the decision of how to educate her own children. Having been told for years that American public schools would eventually get better for black children, the number of African-American homeschooling parents like Ms. Bush has doubled in little over a decade.
As Patrick Jonsson of the Christian Science monitor reports, studies show all kinds of public school problems disproportionately affect black children, and many parents have decided to take matters into their own hands. Even single parents are forming co-ops to make it possible to educate their children together outside of the public school system.
What do you do when you feel the system is failing your child and their education?

Those punishments are unfair, but the problem is practically no black kids have fathers. Out of wedlock at birth is 2 in 3 black kids and logically the number of black kids with a stable father figure is likely to only decrease over time as relationships "naturally" collapse over time. Figure maybe 1 in 10 black teen boys has a black man in their lives as a stable father figure? I think that a fair estimate and would take the over under on a bet. Surely it can't be over 3 in 10 mathematically yet a black kid having a father is not unheard of... my high functioning successful well educated tax paying black coworkers all seem to have healthy relationships with their fathers so it can't be much less than 1 in 10 (like it can't be less than 1 in a million or something). Its almost as if... as if ... as if teen boys need dads. Talk about being politically incorrect! Surely that can't be it. Feminism hates men so claiming anyone needs men for anything is being anti-woman.
Anyway "we" do imprison 1 in every 15 black men... OK I'll agree that is an excellent excuse for 1 in 10 teen boys not to have a father in their day to day lives.
Likewise the welfare system is not enrolling 100% of black kids. Lets say optimistically its "only" a quarter of them growing up on welfare. First of all I'm unsure why being on welfare magically makes it impossible for mom to have a relationship with a "fatherly figure" just can't go to church and make it official for financial reasons. There's plenty of legendary white couples who date for a decade before getting married. Plenty of poor white couples raising un-f-ed-up little white boys.
Whatever anyway the point I'm making is maybe 90% of black teen boys don't have a dad when they need one, so they get Fed up to some level, and whitey is responsible for maybe a third of them being missing at absolute worst, probably less. And their excuse for the other 2/3 of sperm donors being unwilling to fulfill their fatherly responsibilities is ... is ... crickets? Anyone got an answer that isn't racist? Anything? Maybe because their culture sucks and is self-destructive, and until they admit it, their culture is going to circle the drain and no amount of "blame whitey" is going to improve their outcomes?
