Will an Education of Equity help the children of Highland Park ISD? Dr. Luksik and Meg Bakich by Alice Linahan published on 2015-01-24T01:39:38Z Congress is about to Mandate an Education of “Equity”- http://www.voicesempower.com/congress-is-about-to-mandate-an-education-of-equity/ The question to ask when confronting the 3rd fundamental “Transformation in Education” known as 21st Century Learning/Common Core/Workforce Development is- Do equal outcomes, seeing everything through results in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and class give our children the gift of opportunity in the United States? Conversely- does teaching our children and grandchildren to read (phonetically, so they know the true meaning of words, so as not to fall for propaganda and lies), to write grammatically and in cursive, (developing their brain) so they can read our Nations founding documents, to teach foundational math so they can move into higher order math skills, with confidence and pride, and finally to teach our children America’s history, warts and all, to include the failures and the amazing successes that derive from a nation of free people, free to achieve great things. Isn’t this what we want to give our children, the gift of an education of opportunity? Much like my uncle who invented the first shrimp peeling machine that revolutionized the shrimping industry, created countless jobs and created wealth that actually paid for my college, instead of me being burdened with a college loan or having to take a government handout to get a good quality university education.
