What motivated Nikole Hannah‑Jones to enroll her daughter in a low‑performing school?
Maybe it's Maybelline. Guys, buckle up for this fun because it's insane. A woke New York Times writer purposefully sent her daughter to a bad low-income school to make a point about race and her woke ideology. And of course, it's backfired. And you know who's the most upset about it now? Her daughter. Let's talk about it.
Yeah you better.
Guys, before we get into today's video, please consider liking and subscribing. Today we're gonna talk about Nicole Hannah-Jones. You know her as a Pulitzer Prize winner. She's the writer of the 1619 project, which posited that America started with slavery. She's a critical race theorist. I mean, she's deeply embedded in woke ideology, personally so. And I guess she decided to make some personal decisions about that woke ideology, including sending her kid to an underperforming, predominantly black school to make a point. about racial inequality.
How did the New York Post reveal the school’s test‑score statistics?
Well guess what? Her kid ended up to be an underperformer herself because of the school she was placed in, even though Nicole Hannah Jones had the status, the time, the money, and the opportunity to place her kid in a better position.
A New York Times reporter in a high poverty school f changes the school, right? Like There's certain things that just are not gonna happen in that school. I can go to that school and say there's a problem and it gets fixed immediately.
Now she's talking about that regret and fact that she failed her child. I guess I gotta say she's not a hypocrite. She lived deeply by her ideology, and it's another level of woke to purposefully disadvantage your child for the sake of making a point. We'll head to the New York Post, which writes Nicole Hannah Jones 50 enrolled her child in two struggling Brooklyn public schools beginning in 2015, as part of a battle to change what she characterized as systemic racism, despite having the Connections and time and status to get the girl into the city's best schools. Now it's important to note she did even more than this. She made her child the literal poster child for this decision, because the New York Times put out a cover story about her doing this with her child smack dab in the middle of it.
The story is headlined Choosing a School for My Daughter in a Segregated City. Now, years later, Nicole Hannah Jones wrote by test score metrics, many would label this School as a failing school, but as I write in the piece, we judge these schools and their students without ever stepping foot inside.
Why did Hannah‑Jones claim her daughter’s struggle was necessary for racial justice?
My daughter is not worth more than any other child. Eight years later, I still know that I made the right choice. Now let's get into the metrics on the schools that she chose. One of the schools was 56% black in their student body, and just 19% of the students met the state standards on English, which was well below the citywide average of about 40%. Of students. Now, the second school had a 69% black student body, and only 40% of its students met the state standards compared to 55% citywide. Nicole Hannah Jones, I guess, was possessed by the idea that these scores meant nothing about the school itself, that this was just a judgment placed on the school, and probably largely because it was a low-income black school.
She thought her daughter should struggle like the other black kids around her because she had the means to. Offset that struggle with things like tutoring and academic help. And you can hear a little bit of what was going on in these schools. Some of them had stopped assigning homework altogether or providing basic supervision for the kids during the day. In a shocking revelation, the New York Post writes: when her daughter was in fourth grade, Hannah Jones discovered that the girl's teachers hadn't even been grading her schoolwork and that her supposed proficiency was complete nonsense.
