how can this be remedied

by properly funding public education and letting these private schools die off

Jay Z def a charter school guy. Hate to see it

They're all subsidized and suck funding from public schools that are already f***ed. Not unionized either

are u sure the issue is money and not leadership

its both simultaneously

Colleges get big endowments from many individual rich donors or interest groups that affect how universities operate, such as enrollment. Many universities that want to be seen as Ivy League tier schools will then market to more predominantly white upper middle class families, which leads to college towns gentrifying poor areas and essentially having a monopoly on employment within the area

Many corporations, such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin have job fairs at many schools, employees that come to give lectures, etc to pipeline students into becoming eventual employees for the MIC. This is even more apparent in Ivy League schools such as Harvard or Yale where many former Presidents and other high level politicians in Washington attend, then later go on to work at major media outlets or outright WH positions…

More egregiously if you’ve paid attention to the Palestine protests at many universities, they have called for Divestment as a goal, meaning to stop giving money to companies such as Lockheed Martin, etc who directly assist in building weapons to aid in Israel’s genocide

These aren’t wild demands, but they do affect universities at a material level and directly clash with the conflict of interests of the ruling class, so they have been met with police oppression

Not trying to make anything sound sinister but this is just the reality of the system works

The same vitriol yall have for Jay needs to be redirected towards the senators, congressman and state reps that create these problems in the first place.
None of you niggas volunteer in your neighborhoods. None of you niggas vote in the local elections or try to become politicians yourself to change conditions instead y'all just wanna be lazy, complacent internet trolls and arm chair protestor cucks.

A good deed is a good deed.

I’m trying to find more information on this

SB757 is still under consideration and hasn’t been passed yet

legiscan.com/PA/text/SB795/id/2828120

that bill would allow low income students to go to private schools but in my eyes it’s also a tool to enhance funding for the private schools by subsidizing the tuition and fees.

Democrats keep voting against it because they favor legislation that actually puts money into helping the low income public schools on a level playing field.

I don’t know if Roc Nation donated money or what’s really going on with this, but it seems like they’re wanting people to focus more on this supposed $300 million dollars in scholarships than any actual way for these poor communities and schools to benefit from it

bc obviously I’m sure a lot of these students would have to be further evaluated for things like behavior and gpa, and whatever other reasons the private schools make up to keep the “riff-raff” out of their communities.
Realistically, maybe a few dozen kids get to go to these private schools and hopefully it sets them on a good path. but the private schools themselves would have a much greater benefit from this bill passing than the poor communities that it’s supposed to be helping

if you want to give less funding to private schools and give them to public schools i agree with that, they probably dont need it

also i agree with what you said earlier about these kids having to go back to the underprivileged community that they live in after they're done with school for the day, that can definitely f*** with how well someone does in school

but i still think its a positive opportunity for these kids to get a better education

Since you live in Philadelphia, I can see why you feel so strongly about this now

What you're saying is valid but private schools are not going away.

not with that attitude

abolish private schools

education should be socialized and not based on income level or race to determine who and where you go to school

Why not use the 300 million to assist in fixing a system and increase the standing of ALL underprivileged kids

You dont know how working class folks spend they money dawg

Hopefully this includes colleges too but my city needs job development and incubators badly

I mean if we doing mathematics this kinda is lol

Jay is spending 300 mill to send some kids from the hood to private schools they probably couldn’t normally attend.

You think these online dudes are even putting in a proportionate amount of money and time into their communities?

the people that use this “gotcha” the most usually dont do anything unsurprisingly

since they are a loser and sit around they project onto everyone else lol

does it say anywhere online that Roc Nation donated money?
@Nikedufflebag

Lot of grass roots organizations are made up of folks that work regular 9-5s so maybe.

I know 2-3 folks off this site alone that definitely be active community organizers for various causes that matter.

This idea of money being the cure to all the evils (when it’s just a bandaid) when private/charter schools have a history of being damn racist at times, plays right into the cycle of capitalism that ultimately in the end fails us all.

You’re projecting

Why do yall make these general statements bro like yall know what every ktter does with they time and money yo lmao.

I hear you but at the end of the day it’s 300 million dollars towards the education of kids that need it.

Kids from the hood are gonna get to go to
private school and have a better shot at class mobility
