Cy-Fair ISD Trustee Racially Divisive Statements (A Deserves Own Thread Thread)

At the risk of being criticized starting another racism is the only problem thread here goes


So in the Critical Race Theory thread a local Houston story came up. Cypress Fairbanks School District, a collection of Houston suburbs school district had a trustee respond to an audit by a company that apparently consults schools on racial equity.

Cypress Fairbanks ISD is the third largest school district in Texas. It has more Hispanic students than whites. It is a real suburb that encompasses wealthy to very middle class neighborhoods. I think it has gotten this big in the last 20 years but I'm not certain.

The audit by Millennial Learning Concepts apparently stated that the Black student learning gap can be reduced by hiring more black teachers because those students are treated differently in a negative manner. Notice I didn't write Hispanic and Black kids.

Quick note, this auditor doesn't come up on Google when typing "Millennial Learning Concepts"


Cy-Fair's superintendent is a black woman. At a board of trustees meeting addressing the audit (elected officials) an admittedly very conservative recently newly elected Trustee anti vaxxer CRT fear mongerer said he doesn't want to be hisd who has a higher pct of black teachers 36% to 13% because Cy-Fair has a lower drop out rate, 2% to 4%.

People have understood that to blame black hisd teachers. The mayor and county judge have condemned the comments. He lost his regular job.

Two issues.

Now we are blaming teachers because of dicisipline? Please teacher threaders teachers don't get enough crediters respond

Second the media has not been fair. I can barely find this flash in pan company who doesn't come up in Google search when typing its exact specific unique name.

Apparently the only proof of white teacher unfairness is longer suspensions which we have no details.

There is no link between discipline and bad grades as the grade issue encompasses all black students.

The way the story has been reported caused me to just say yeah that guy is racist. The media acts like the audit came down from Mt Sinai written on stone tablets

 

On the issue of the report conclusions being about black students though the report was initiated to study both Hispanic and Black students, black people need.to take notice, Hispanics have passed us.

They are continually improving in terms of wealth because they appreciate things like public schools. They appreciate American opportunity.

When both political parties start to understand they would be better catering to them because they bring more wealth to the table we will lose our Democrat allianresce and we will be in bad shape. They already out number us.

Another deserves it's own thread

It's so ironic the one thing GWB was right about was trying to get Hispanic support and the one thing he received Republican opposition was trying to get Hispanic support

 

You're right I got that wrong. I googled it like twice doing further research on the story, I missed both times. I was frustrated about it.

 

That has nothing to do with the audit

Audit summary

https://communityimpact.com/houston...aways-from-cy-fair-isds-equity-audit-results/


Discipline trends show that Black and African American students in CFISD are suspended at elevated rates, and that takes away learning time and limits their academic potential. ... Similar to achievement patterns, this discipline pattern is a districtwide concern consistent across CFISD and has profound consequences for student learning and academic outcomes,” Mayers said.

In fairness it also says something about being more comfortable with similar teachers but that should not be a school concern. Parents need to make kids appreciate teachers regardless of race

A district has a qualifications concern. That's it

 

Ive posted this before.

I grew up in one of the worst school districts eva. North Forest ISD. It's since been taken over by HISD. A black run, majority black school district. It's northeast Houston. Northeast Houston leads into Humble which leads into very historically racist northeast Texas.

North Forest ironically was originally founded by whites who saw integration coming and wanted to hold on to segregation. But I digress

My parents sent me to Catholic school because it was so bad.

Just like Cy-Fair a lot of the residents were middle class making good money in the oil field. A neighbor owned a trucking company with at least 20 semis.A neighborhood next to mine was all black upper middle class.

The kids iñ the district did terribly because their parents did not stress school work. Kids were comfortable barely passing with no pressure from home.

This is where I'm coming from with we need to stop focusing on racism and focus more on internal issues.

I don't know what you will get googling North Forest ISD but if you doubt this testimony, look it up yourselves

 

The media treated the guy unfairly

The audit's claim that more black teachers are needed to make black kids feel comfortable because white teachers are dicosipling black kids more harshly than whites (note the discipline is apparently warranted) is not backed up any kind of way

The trustee has legitimate doubt

The black superintendent hired a diversity consulting to tell them they need more diversity. What the **** else would they report?

 

We can't really prove racism so we have a consulting firm with no accreditation because whose ever heard of such a consulting firm to say there is racism.

The next wave of civil rights activism

 

The board already made a commitment to address diversity to help close the achievement gap 2 or 3 years earlier. I don't want to flood this with backstory verbiage but that's gist of what can be found on Google.

This is official from the school board. I didn't find they decided diversity is the problem

Edit: I didn't find why they decided diversity is a problem

 

If it's long decided why is the audit needed?
