Republican On Failing Schools: ‘We Can’t Make An African-American White’

by | Dec 7, 2015 | News | 0 comments

I’m a little bit dumb founded watching this video. This Wednesday just past a statement was made at a Senate Education Committee hearing that is beyond words!

Committee Vice Chair Marty Knollenberg (R-Troy) was talking on why Michigan schools are failing and during the speech he actually said

“You mentioned why these schools fail. You mention the economically disadvantaged and non-white population are contributors to that. And, you know, we can’t fix THAT! We can’t make an African American white. It is what it is. So we can’t fix that.”

He actually grinned too after he said “We can’t make an African American white”

You can watch it below!

So, how did he respond when asked about this?

Well here is an excerpt from WXYZ.com’s article (http://bit.ly/1HNBKdD) on his response

“If they knew me they would know that I am not racist at all,” said Knollenberg of anyone offended by his comments.

He says he feels his words are being taken out of context.

He had just seen statistics that said that most kids in struggling districts are of color, and they led to his words.

When asked if he could see how some people would feel he missed what is contributing to the problem of failing schools when he made his comment, “We can’t make an African American white. We can’t fix that,” he said no. He said the bottom line is he doesn’t believe race is a problem.

“I have an African-American employee who works for me,” said Knollenberg.

Well, well, well, he just dug himself in deeper! Do you think he should be fired immediately?
