Our Goals 5
5. An end to the discriminatory “separate but equal” public education system. Dallas Independent School District is failing children of color. Why are white children in the suburbs given a better education than children of color in Dallas? Why are racist school board members denying children of color access to school choice? We demand access to equal education facilities. And if DISD refuses to provide quality education then we demand school choice.
In our last post, we quoted ancestor James Baldwin on education. This is why. The more this country keeps Black, Brown and oppressed, minority children from obtaining a quality education, the better their chances in keeping us in the oppressed minority, not asking questions and not stepping into our power and potential to revolutionize this country.
They do not want that.
For so many reasons.
Which is why it is of utmost importance that our organization emphasizes the necessity of quality and choice education for our children, regardless of color, gender, neighborhood. We will do whatever we can to teach our children their worth, their rights, open their minds and give them every opportunity to change this colonized, corrupt world.
