"stop stanning"

"stop d***riding"

feels like I'm talking to children sometimes

Jay being Jay aside I’d rather these kids get a quality education than not. so, good for them

obv there’s still core issues with public school funding and under resourced places that this doesn’t address at all

And it shouldn’t be up to billionaires whim whether a child can get a quality funded education

Why can't two things be true ??

and what the f*** does environmental racism have to do with this thread

Less funding for nonwhite schools and neighborhoods, environmental problems (bad water in those schools, mold etc, can be environmental racism) making residents and students sick etc s*** like that’s still an issue within the public school system, which i don’t believe is being addressed

The class element of the public vs private school divide is relevant in the greater conversation about this

For those children that will get an education they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise, this is good, and i’m glad they will have access

It doesn’t attack the root problems but it will alleviate the education barrier for however many children get these scholarships

my guy you literally replied to my original comment. can you not read?

u gotta take some deep breaths sometimes queen close ur eyes

Just fund the public schools

This is $300M going back to rich people

There's no evidence of him doing anything

But if there is and he goes to jail, this campaign and initiative will still remain.

sounds like the Brother Love campaign that some people are still championing Diddy for

the opportunity to attend prestigious private schools

Ok

The intent and effort is great but at a certain point it’s like y’all know what actually needs to be done and exactly what needs to be funded. It’s annoying to constantly see them do everything but the right thing and we gotta shut up and take it or it looks ungrateful

Are they not allowed to fund public schools idgi

Jay-Z has given money to public schools in the past already

He's already given money to public schools

This is a specific initiative for unprivileged Philly students to get a chance at higher education.

i dont understand why yall are hating

obviously giving public schools more resources is good. i don't know what kind of bureaucracy goes on behind the scenes in public schools but i imagine that it's more of a long term project to make them better whereas sending kids to private schools is more short term.

Jayz has given money to public schools in the past btw

it's not his or any billionaire's job to make sure these schools are properly funded

There's other ppl you can complain to for all that

They gone find a way to hate on this, oh wait too late

how are people spinning this into a bad thing

Hope he sees this

I live in philadelphia, these private schools even existing is part of the problem

why

<<< Complains about Jay-Z not giving money to public schools

<<< Shown proof that he does

<<< Tries to flip it back on me

So what do u plan on complaining about next ??

Some of y'all niggas itt are miserable and it shows

You don’t do the “- Brave” thing anymore huh

because it divides the quality of education along financial lines. if rich people can live in the suburbs, avoid taxation which would benefit inner city children, and then send their white ass kids to private schools in my city; how does this benefit black kids who dont even have the option? it is a de facto type of racial segregation, it dont matter how many black kids you give scholarships to.
