Buchanan: Minorities’ Inferior ‘Brains’ Making American Schools Struggle

[kpete]

The problem, you see, is that we have too many minorities in our schools, and minorities have inferior “brains.” It’s so simple!

Buchanan: "If the brains and the will to learn are absent, no amount of spending on schools, teacher salaries, educational consultants or new texts will matter.

......................

“America’s educational woes reflect our demographic mix of students. Today’s schools are filled with millions of youngsters, many of whom are Hispanic immigrants struggling with English plus millions of others of mediocre intellectual ability disdaining academic achievement.” <...>

Writes Weissberg: “To be grossly politically incorrect, most of America’s educational woes vanish if these indifferent, troublesome students left when they had absorbed as much as they were going to learn and were replaced by learning-hungry students from Korea, Japan, India, Russia, Africa and the Caribbean.”

1. Sorry, it's obvious yet has to be said again . . . . . .

[lpbk2713]

2. Howard Cosell is alive and well.

And living inside Buchanan's head. :eyes:

5. Must be the only thing living in there

Those minorities are from poor families and neighborhoods and don't see the value of edumacation when they only have drug dealing to look forward to since the bastards have moved all the jobs overseas. pukes like buttboi there have screwed us and the country over why does he still have a job bloviating?

3. Here in East Tennessee, the low achievers are the long-time residents.

White, Scots-Irish, low achievers in education for generations, and no desire to change it.

It really amazes me sometimes.

I think the point "If the brains and the will to learn are absent, no amount of spending on schools, teacher salaries, educational consultants or new texts will matter." is correct.

[Raine]

4. God he's an idiot

I don't know why he's allowed on any show or his crap is even put before the public. I can't believe how he can get away with his garbage in the 21st century, it's sickening. :puke:

[OKNancy]

6. He didn't say that

Buchanan: Minorities’ Inferior ‘Brains’ Making American Schools Struggle

I can't stand the guy, but I'm not knee-jerking on this one.

[Prometheus Bound]

9. I agree with you. I don't think he said that either.

[kpete]

12. it is a quote - and he included in his quaint little article:

Whoops! Pat Buchanan accidentally quoted a guy who is less racist than he is. American students shouldn’t be “replaced” by African or Caribbean students, because their brains aren’t as good as the other races. But we get the point, at least.

If the brains and the will to learn are absent, no amount of spending on schools, teacher salaries, educational consultants or new texts will matter.

[Prometheus Bound]

13. He suggests replacing troublesome students with learning-hungry ones from Africa, the Caribbean etc

Did I read it wrong?

[bullwinkle428]

16. Robert Weissberg wrote that part, in a quote from his book. Buchanan

uttered the garbage about minority students.

[Angry Dragon]

7. I am so sorry this man has shit for brains

If this man went to the bathroom he would end up with a vacuum within his skull

[jody]

8. Buchanan also said "America's public schools . . . are not abject failures."

See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=219x30730

Asian-Americans outperform all Asian students except for Shanghai-Chinese. White Americans outperform students from all 37 predominantly white nations except Finns, and U.S. Hispanics outperformed the students of all eight Latin American countries that participated in the tests.

African-American kids would have outscored the students of any sub-Saharan African country that took the test (none did) and did outperform the only black country to participate, Trinidad and Tobago, by 25 points.

10. I think we found that 6% of scientists who are Republican! nt

[DCKit]

11. Keep it up Pat, and pretty soon even the Cubans won't vote (R). nt

[muntrv]

14. Pukecannon, go fuck yourself!

[Hannah Bell]

15. why isn't buchanan dead yet? his brain is polluting the country.

[StarsInHerHair]

17. what a racist, look at what the Mayans & Aztecs achieved-the "Venice" of

the New World was in southern Mexico City, replete with man-made canals, floating gardens.........this while Europeans threw their chamberpots out the window into the streets.

18. I wonder what Buchanan would be doing if he hadn't been born during a White majority rule.

[Raksha]

19. An inferior brain isn't always a handicap--just look at Pat Buchanan!

It hasn't stopped him from doing pretty much what he wanted, including running for president. Maybe it's a handicap for a Democrat, but definitely NOT for a Repuke!

[rbixby]

20. Doesn't he want people to be dumb?

So they continue to buy into his ideas?
