LaSeanThe 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.
This is a good post
I've been wishing fellas focused more on the senators, congressman and other politicians instead of constantly nitpicking every time a celebrity tries to do something positive for their community.

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
Good read thanks

"Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro — a first-term Democrat seen by his party as a rising star nationally — forcefully put his weight behind a Republican-backed proposal to send $100 million to families for private school tuition and school supplies.
Vouchers have long been viewed in stark partisan terms: Democrats and public school allies say they drain critical resources from public schools. Republicans and school choice advocates say they give freedom to families who may not like their local public schools.
At $100 million in a state where public schools spend more than $35 billion a year, the Pennsylvania proposal was viewed by some as largely symbolic. But both sides say its passage in Pennsylvania would open the door to a larger program eventually."

https://twitter.com/pmgentry/status/1799163613560615015"An AP-NORC poll last year found that Americans are divided — 39% favor, 37% oppose — on whether to give low-income parents tax-funded vouchers they can use to help pay for tuition for their children to attend a private or religious school instead of public schools.
Democrats were similarly divided.
“It’s a nuanced picture in terms of public attitudes that don’t totally follow partisan divides that are seen across other issues,” said Christopher Borick, director of the Muhlenberg College Institute of Public Opinion.
The division reflects similar polls over the past two decades — but support drops when people are told vouchers siphon money from public schools.
Shapiro insists he only supports a voucher program that doesn’t do that — something public school advocates dispute, saying every voucher dollar could have gone to public schools."

Bow And ArrowAmerican public schools are underfunded and the funds are determined by the neighborhood property taxes which is why students from poorer families get worse educations. It's a horrible system but getting rid of public schooling would make things 100x worse
Nah make them all charters, better regulation, & better funding. Period.

for all the “e-commie” jokes there are a lot of ppl here communists or not that I probably don’t even know who are active in organizing within there community
The whole “do people give back the same as a billionaire? Then shut up”
Is so disingenuous because of course most working people can’t actually afford to give millions to people, that’s sort of the name of the game. It doesn’t matter if the rich person is white, black, Asian
Grassroots organizing from a leftist perspective have always had the challenges of not having enough money and time compared to the ruling class
2) people that always use that argument definitely dont do anything in their community, otherwise they would be knowledgeable enough to understand why it’s a stupid comment to begin with
Regardless true chsnge always come from the bottom up putting pressure
Jay Z (a capitalist) giving a bone to bandaid a problem within American society isn’t going to fix anything just like some oil CEO donating a couple million to “protecting” the environment. And even if you say “well no one is talking about changing or overthrowing, just doing a good deed” then it’s still dumb because people being able to accrue that much wealth in the first place is why the system doenst work
I’m not talking about you just ranting lol

Snowboyyeah dawg when has a public education ever benefitted anybody
"The voucher debate in Pennsylvania came at a particularly charged time: a court had ruled only months earlier that the state’s system of school funding had for decades unconstitutionally discriminated against the poorest districts.
That had motivated public school advocates and Democrats to demand billions more for the poorest public schools, a quest that Shapiro has said he supports.
Shapiro’s familiarity with private schools, meanwhile, is born of experience. He attended a private Jewish school, his children attend the same school and his father is on the school’s board."

Politicians are the ones that should be held more accountable with issues like this.
They're the ones making the rules.
If people want more money to go to public schools, then they need to put more pressure on these politicians and lawmakers.
