So qualifications or how she did on the interview don't matter, only skin color?


According to some, yes.

Water is wet. Gary is nothing if he can't community-agitate, it's a sad and pathetic way to go through life.

To the tune of “In the Navy”

When You’re Gravy


Where can you find racists
He knows all the places
That refused to pay his fee,
Once he gets a shakedown,
He’ll shut a buffet down,
Bigger than a whale at sea

Folks don’t think it’s funny,
Muscling in on money,
For hustlers like Silky Slim,
Found him at the protest,
Gravy stuck out his chest,
Got popped in his triple chin

When you’re Gravy,
You call black men Uncle Toms,
When you’re Gravy
While you still live with your mom,
When You’re Gravy,
Try to pick fights with the cops,
When you’re Gravy,
Your campaign’s a massive flop,
When you’re Gravy,
Only care about black lives,
When you’re Gravy
If there’s people to connive

He wants you,
He wants You,
He wants you to give him your loot...

If her comments are factual she voted correctly instead of just being biased and supporting a candidate just because of the candidate's race.


quote:

Tennessee's own Department of Education website Dr. Towns would have been coming from a district that is predominantly white and only 35% economically disadvantaged, but STILL only had 34% of their children on level for ELA and only 38% on level for Math? That's literally worse than EBR's numbers in ELA with ours at 40% and only slightly better in Math with ours at 31%. Meanwhile, from a district that is actually more complicated than our own with six times as many students- 260,000 with 81% of those students being children of color and a 56% poverty rate - Brown is coming from a district that significantly outperforms our own, and she's been there in positions long enough to actually take credit for some of that success.

It wasn’t that long ago we were talking about bullying & teaching our kids why being a bully & cyber bullying was wrong

Now it’s tolerated & accepted

Dr. Towns was never a teacher. She would not have been eligible for superintendent certification in Louisiana. Ebr would have had to hire a chief academic officer to be the certified superintendent. Brown was the teacher, principal, then the head of special programs (magnet, charter, alternative) for one of the top 10 largest school districts in America. You have the 2 reversed.

This is an incredible story, if true. Do you have any supporting evidence available?

Appears to be accurate per: LINK

quote:

Out-of-State Superintendent (OSS) - Standard, five-year, renewable certificate; renewal of OSS certificate requires candidate successfully meet the standards of effectiveness for at least three years during the five-year initial or renewal period
Eligibility requirements:
A. employed by a Louisiana public school system to serve as a superintendent or an assistant superintendent;
B. a valid teaching certificate from another state with authorization to serve as a school superintendent;
C. amaster'sdegreefromaregionallyaccreditedinstitutionofhighereducation;
D. five years of successful administrative or management experience in education at the level of assistant principal or above. The assistant principal experience would be limited to a maximum of two years of experience in that position; and
E. five years of successful teaching experience in a properly certified field.


According to her LinkedIn this would not be met.

This is a racist statement, why should the color of her skin have anything to do with it.

Among the backlash, social media users hurled insults and racial epithets at Collins throughout the night. Some branded Collins as a “traitor” to the black American community. Others chose to use more explicit, pejorative terms. Collins ended her statement by responding to the use of one such term against her. “I voted my conscience. So, if voting for the person who had a stronger record for moving children like ours forward makes me a ‘house n----,’ then... so be it, but I’m not taking that chance on our children. I’m sorry if that disappoints you.” Collins ended her social media post with the hashtags, unapologetic, unapologetically black, unbought, and unbossed.


Simply amazing. Someone voted for a more qualified candidate and a group of people are pissed because she has a different color of her skin. MLK’s call for judging by the content of your character is dead
