Republicans are being dishonest about Pres. Obama not helping HBCUs (1299 hits)

GOP lawmakers are planning to meet with the presidents of several HBCUs to discuss what these schools need and how they can help them survive. Now instead of just touting how they plan to help black students, Conservatives/Republicans have used this as an opportunity to attack President Obama in the eyes of African Americans.

They are spreading the lie that President Obama did little for HBCU's or cut funding to those schools. The sad part is that saying that Obama did little for HBCU's is a flat out lie. Read more: http://www.africanamericanreports.com/2017...

In reality, Mr. Cook, people need to be present more in the schools Volunteering. This way they can see and learn first-hand all the wonderful ways Pres. Obama help(s) HBCUs.

For those not really interested in any personal involvement in community HBCUs, I recommend reading the White House Initiative for American Educational Excellence. Then make a comparison between former Pres. Obama's Administration and those of G.W. Bush and Reagan.

Even more, based on an administration committed to Fake News, propaganda, and blatant lies (sorry, untruths), common sense can be used to project or hypothesize the strategy for the future of American education.

See my post on what two federal departments are on the chopping block now at: https://www.aol.com/article/news/2017/02/0...

IMMHO, privatization is being plotted. Hmmm ....

Mr. Cook and Ms. Levine both of you dumb Negroes are on the wrong path going in the wrong direction!

We want out of this system and country of White America to have our own system and country to install our own educational system under our own guidelines and regulations.

The HBC U is under the guidelines and regulation of White America’s educational system. We Black Americans descendent of plantation slaves want our own and we have been crying out to God like the Children of Israel did in the book of Exodus to help us to have our own.

The mind set that Ms. Levine and you Mr. Cook have we Black Americans will never have our own because so believe Black Americans need White Americans to make it! You all are STUPID there is no better way to put it!
