What is the opening premise of the episode and why does the host mention ‘why do we even need to learn this stuff?’
Welcome to Politics by Faith. This is where we take the news of the day, we bring it to the Bible so we can walk away with peace and perspective. New headlines every day, but Ecclesiastes says there's nothing new under the sun. So thanks for being here to get the true story. And at the end of the day, I hope you have an answer to the question of why do we even need to learn this stuff anyway? Story of the day today. Nicole Hannah Jones sacrificing her child to the public school system. Here's what happened. Nicole Hannah Jones, she's the person behind the 1619 project. The left Adores her. She's a Black Lives Matter leftist hero. 1619 Project to Jog Your Memory was an effort, is still an effort, to redefine America's founding, away from 1776, and instead 1619.
This was the year that the first slave was brought to this land. There's an actual backstory. we'll save for another day. But the point of this is to make the point that the legacy of slavery is is rooted and embedded in our founding and who we are as a country. And it's the root of all the systemic racism that still exists everywhere today in America that are keeping black people down. That's the whole premise of the 1619 project. We're not founded on the great ideals and principles of 1776. We're founded and and rooted in the original sin of slavery from 1619. That's her whole thing. No. If I were tasked in a debate style Where you know it there's like debate styles where like you have to take either side of an argument.
And if I were tasked to make her argument for her. Slater, make the argument that there is systemic racial injustice in America today. Okay. All right. I'll make that argument. My first point would be to our public school system. Which fails everybody. But is most horrifying. In our cities and with black students. Nicole Hanna Jones wrote this nice long article. New York Times, I'll summarize it the best I can here for the sake of time. Um, 'cause I also wanna leave time to uh talk about the Bible here, of course, as well. But the story goes, she picked up her daughter from middle school, and she was expecting to hear a Like we all do when we pick our kids from school, like, how was your day? And kind of the normal how is your day stuff.
Uh but she instead wrote That day. Uh well she said so so what happened that day, let me skip that that what happened that day was her daughter looked up her own school. to get like school rankings or something like that. They're thinking about colleges and stuff like that.
How does the host describe Nikole Hannah‑Jones’ decision to send her daughter to a failing public school?
So they looked up their own school and how it ranks in New York City. And she learned that her the school she's going to is one of the worst schools in the state. So here's what she said. By dismissal time, nausea's shock turned to boiling. And the seatbelt had barely cli when she found out the school was terrible. And the seatbelt had barely clicked before she was confronting me. I had braced myself for this moment, spent nearly a decade expecting it, preparing for it. When Najia was entering pre K, my husband, Faraji and I, decided to send her to the type of school that wealthier families with choices uniformly avoid, one that is low income and mostly black. Our decision had been informed by values shaped by my years of reporting on the enduring and too often seemingly hopeless battle for school integration.
I've lost count of how many times I've written some version of this sentence. Nationally, a black student is less likely to have teachers who are qualified and experienced, and to be offered rigorous and college prep curriculum, to have up-to-date technology and attend schools and modernized facilities. So mom knew the school was terrible. And she actively sent her daughter to a terrible school. She sacrificed her daughter at the altar of wokeism and Black Lives Matter to intentionally send her to a failing school. And she talks in this article about how ten years ago She and her husband were debating like what to do with their daughter and they realized that they went to segregated schools when they were young and they had a great experience.
