Betsy DeVos Tries to Whitewash HBCU History as ‘School Choice’ Instead of Systemic Racism

“They saw that the system wasn’t working, that there was an absence of opportunity, so they took it upon themselves to provide the solution,”

“HBCUs are real pioneers when it comes to school choice. They are living proof that when more options are provided to students, they are afforded greater access and greater quality.”

Really??? These were words released in a statement on Tuesday by Betsy DeVos after Trump’s executive order was signed that effectively gives more money to HBCUs.

Let’s face it, this is more likely a move to try and sweeten and shut up those running these schools rather than solve real educational needs of black folks in America, and this is even more evident considering that DeVos clearly has no grasp of history, no understanding or is simply whitewashing the facts!

Black schools had to be created because the racist US of A would not let black people study, there was never choice!

Things are not getting better under this regime, that’s my two cents!
