Dallas Leaders Repress Black Voices
-Dallas City Council and DISD leaders listen to white billionaire donors; not our community
-Over 75% of black voters support school choice; Dallas leaders oppose
-Black voters want safe parks and streets; leaders give us drug dens and violence
Dallas leaders from the City Council, the Dallas ISD, and the District Attorney are pursuing policies against the interests and will of Black voters. They get away with it due to PR machines built by their white billionaire donors.
When Black voters overwhelmingly support the idea of school choice, the Dallas City Council favors charter schools that are funded to fail via poor management and oversight, ensuring that Black people have the worst schools within walking distance. They do this to put the charter school initiative in a poor light. In doing so, they condemn us to be subject to the same cycle of public schools in poor neighborhoods having problematic results. So if you want your children to attend a good school, we must migrate out of underserved communities or send our children on long commutes. It would be best to have short work and school commutes. Still, to have short commutes, we need safe streets and a prosperous and motivated business class ready to seize upon a brighter tomorrow.
We need successful charter schools like KIPP to have facilities where these failing schools infest our neighborhoods. A dime to a dollar says that the mere presence of a successful charter school would galvanize a failing public school to make a conscious effort as an institution to be a better place for students to grow and a safer work environment for teachers and their aides.
It is essential to understand why we need the best schools in these neighborhoods that have been hit hard by disparity. When we ignore the actual cost of crime waves and the mounting death toll, we miss the potential damage and disfigurement of the Black family institution. We need systemic change, not tokenized representation of issues that are improperly framed to deter us from embracing the big picture.
The Dallas City Council scoffs at this reality of rampant crime with unseen consequences. We deserve safe, clean streets where our shops can stay open late into the night without fearing being subject to aggravated assault, rape, or murder. What could be done? Let's start with cleaning up the homeless camps rife with drug abuse and illicit activity. If people want help to recover from a life addicted to drugs, then they have to choose treatment and therapy. We should not allow a life of crime and degeneracy on OUR streets.
The effects of opioid addiction are pervasive in our city. It has gotten so bad that children can find fentanyl via emojis on social media. It is now so commonplace in schools that we have no choice but to make Narcan available over the counter in hopes of helping users survive accidental overdoses. Our children's future comes first, and we should all be ready to introduce drastic change to safeguard their future.
When it comes to the domestic abuse that claims dozens of lives every year, the Dallas City Council should mandate social workers to make sure that families are given every chance to turn the corner together or partners can separate and start new lives safely without the fear of vengeance from their significant other.
Dallas Justice Now will never stop speaking on behalf of the community. Why are our voices tuned out? They have repressed our voices for too long. Join our movement and help us tell Dallas leaders that our opinions matter.
