There are few things the New York Times obsesses over more than the black-white achievement gap, with the possible exception of Israel (and its constant oppression of the noble, kind-hearted, fuzzy Palestinians).
Although you can read about the peripherally pertinent Dysfunctional Minority Schools With Metal Detectors, Terrible Black Test Scores, and Heroic Puerto-Rican Harlem Principals With Ponytails at least eight days a week in the pages of the newspaper of record, the nauseatingly predictable Times devotes an unbelievable amount of column-inches to the terrible, pesky black-white achievement gap that bothers them so.
Today, the New York Times dipped to new levels of cluelessness in an article entitled "Proficiency of Black Students is Found to be Far Lower than Expected." Whether the geniuses at the Times are guilty of cluelessness as opposed to willful dishonesty is not even open to debate: their snide perfidy is as cynical as it is criminal.
The director of the hilariously named "Achievement Gap Initiative" (AGI) at Harvard goes to such lengths to circumvent the truth that we here at COTT wonder if he has to stay high on mushrooms and brandy to keep the delusion alive.
“There’s accumulating evidence that there are racial differences in what kids experience before the first day of kindergarten,” said AGI director Ronald Ferguson. “They have to do with a lot of sociological and historical forces. In order to address those, we have to be able to have conversations
that people are unwilling to have.”
"Conversations"? You mean like an honest dialogue about race that Eric Holder says us evil whites are too cowardly to have?
Through this quote shines the Times' otherwise secret marxist agenda, with the not-so-veiled implication yet again that black academic failure is the fault of whites.
Convoluted, contortionistic, blame-shifting delusional wishful thinking is a hallmark Crime of the Times, one that appears in its pages with a regularity as obnoxious as an open-handed-slap.

The New York Time's wishful thinking is starting to be revealed for what it really is: readership is down, this crappy rag is doomed.
ReplyDeleteYeah this article was hilarious. No reference to Charles Murray? I'm shocked :)
