Educational Failures Criticized in Baltimore and Oakland

In a recent distressing commentary, a former school teacher highlighted alarming educational failures, particularly in minority communities in Baltimore and Oakland. Citing an abysmal zero proficiency rate in math for minority children in these areas, the former educator expressed deep concern over the current educational leadership and its alignment with controversial practices such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT). The educator criticized the cabinet secretary responsible for education, stating he has primarily aligned himself with the teachers' union, which has apparently thrived without addressing the dismal educational outcomes. Consequently, while the union benefits, the students are left suffering under ineffective educational policies. This administration's failure is not only reflected in proficiency rates but also in the reported harassment of Jewish American students in universities, which adds another layer to the crisis. The speaker's urgent message underscores the need for immediate reform in the educational approaches and leadership to rectify the dire situation faced by students and families alike.
