So, a certain Joshua Moreno is fed up with the system and did something about that, 2 paragraphs. GREAT. Then the rest of the entire article is about institutionalized racism and how the current system fails us. At no point do we get a good example about what mr Moreno did, only what he moved away from. This is horrible confusing writing.
I'm sorry but this is absolute click bait garbage. I AGREE with the fact that there is institutionalized racism and I aplaud work to reduce that. But this article is misleading, and confusing, and poorly written. There's no concrete idea in it that we could debate here on HN. If there is, someone would have to rewrite and state it clearly.
Worried you'll get called a racist for suggesting an anti racist is wrong?
Actually on topic though, Asia is laughing at us.
Removing homework and grading? Because "racism"?
You shouldn't be penalizing well off people (white or not) with worse schooling because some lower class students (black or not) dont have enough time to study after school.
What you should be doing is figuring out how to not penalize those with less opportunity to ensure they can either catch up or at least not fall behind.
Are you really that self centered that you think that people around the globe care.
People in other places do not care that much (setting aside the worrying possibility that this kind of thinking may be later imported to their own countries), but given the prominence of English in worldwide communication and the massive role of American media, they will read the news and either laugh or frown.
American internal problems are much more visible to the outside world than, say, Italian ones.
