Poorly Performing Public Schools

Questions for Parents to ask the Principal of their children’s poorly performing public school.


I want to see (our school) succeed.

I believe the challenge for (our school) is changing the perception of the school by producing students with high grade point averages.

Is (our school) convincing students that (our school) is helping them achieve their career goals?

Is (our school) convincing parents to provide the support needed for their children to success in college?

Is (our school) raising the grade point averages of their students?

Black Africa and the U.S. Black Movement

This Document is Exhibit 10 of U.S. Supreme Court Case No.00-9587

NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM-46
MARCH 17, 1978
Presidential Review Memorandum NSCM/46
TO: The Secretary of State
The Secretary of Defense
The Director of Central Intelligence

SUBJECT: Black Africa and the U.S. Black Movement
The President has directed that a comprehensive review be made of current developments in Black Africa from the point of view of their possible impacts on the black movement in the United States. The review should consider:
1. Long-term tendencies of social and political developments and the degree to which they are consistent with or contradict the U.S. interests.

2. Proposals for durable contacts between radical African leaders and leftist leaders of the U.S. black community.

3. Appropriate steps to be taken inside and outside the country in order to inhibit any pressure by radical African leaders and organizations on the U.S. black community for the latter to exert influence on the policy of the Administration toward Africa.

The President has directed that the NSC Interdepartmental Group for Africa perform this review. The review should be forwarded to the NSC Political Analysis Committee by April 20.

Founded in 1996 by Phillip Jackson, The Black Star Project is committed to improving the quality of life in Black and Latino communities of Chicago and nationwide by eliminating the racial academic achievement gap. Our mission is to provide educational services that help pre-school through college students succeed academically and become knowledgeable and productive citizens with the support of their parents, families, schools and communities. Additionally, we help students aspire to post-secondary educational opportunities and training while exploring careers that will be emotionally, intellectually and financially rewarding. Our services are available to all students, particularly low-income Black and Latino students who attend low-achieving schools in disadvantaged communities. In order to achieve our goal of eliminating the racial academic achievement gap, we concentrate on three main areas of initiative: student engagement, parental development and advocacy. The Black Star Project conducts its programming and varied approaches to closing the racial academic achievement gap primarily through parent and student leadership development and advocacy.

Mr. President:

I was a visitor at Florence B Price Elementary School a few weeks ago.

Florence B Price Elementary School needs a lot a help!

I blame the parents!

Visit Price Elementary School 4351 S Drexel Blvd in Chicago to see why the students are not being prepared to attend King High College Preparatory School which is across the street.

Thanks!

Stop Having Children!

A mass movement for reproduction quality control is desperately needed!



Every African American organization should implement a plan that will encourage our young people not to have any children until they are at least 25 or 30 years old.


The politicians, preachers, potentates and all African American adults need to insist that our children and grandchildren have a clear plan for raising their children.

Well, how do we come out of the inferiorized state? We have to devise those means of behavior that are going to allow for the maximal development of the Black genetically constituted potential. That begins with how we relate to the behavior of sex. If we want to produce strong Black males and females, then we have to realize that White supremacy is not going to set up the conditions where that will happen because they are in fear of strong Black, Brown, Red and Yellow people. They] set up a dynamic where you end up with large numbers of teenagers and children reproducing, single parents reproducing and not being able to guide the development of male children to functional adult male status. Black people [should] have quality control of Black reproduction. Well, how do we go about it? You have to have mature parents. You have to have parents who are married. If I could wave the magic wand, Black people wouldn’t have sex until they got married and they wouldn’t get married until they were 30. In the meantime, they would be going to school."

Why I did not go to college.

Why I did not go to college?

I hated grammar school.

Poor writing and spelling skills.

Lack of self discipline.

Lack of confidence.

Low self esteem.

Afraid of hard work.

Lazy.


We are all sum totals of our experience, and products of our environment.
