“Gutting the U.S. Department of Education is more than a political move – it’s a direct threat to educational access, equity, and opportunity, especially for Black teachers and students.” Today, Sharif El-Mekki, the CEO of the Center for Black Educator Development, issued a?statement condemning the U.S. Department of Education’s “reduction in force” decision.

Public education is doing exactly what the establishment wants…ensuring that Blacks in Amerikkka are a permanent underclass. What we need is a replicable Black Independent School model akin to the Rosenwald and Freedom Schools of the past…created by us for us. These schools will partner with HBCUs and Ivy League institutions throughout the nation to create foundational experiences that propel our scholars towards a purpose driven life. These scholars will be prepared to shape the future of their communities at the local, state, federal, and global levels. It’s the only way forward for our children. I’m developing the model now. I’ve started 2 charter schools but the government oversight remains a problem. School vouchers for K-12/K-8, Black Private Schools that are safe and affirming with college, career, and Entrepreneurship pathways are the solution to our problems. Electives like: AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination College Prep Courses), Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Latin, Public Speaking & Debate, Dance Lessons in Leadership, and Black Achievements & History. The future for black students who attend these schools will be limitless. We plan to open our first school in Nottheast Raleigh, NC in August 2026.
The DOE was started as a pay-off to the teachers union by President Carter and has only grabbed more power and wasted more tax money ever since. The sooner this can be drained of people and programs peeled off to other departments the better. Those who are in the BUSINESS of continuing racial differences are the true problem.
Quite simply, it’s an act of war against underserved and marginalized communities. It is the weaponization of public education
and this is the point
We, USA, are so far behind other countries in literacy and education that perhaps this housecleaning will yield a positive impact on quality of education.
Therefore we as black celebrities, politicians, professionals and as a people must fund, organize and provide our own schools and other educational programs, just easy as we Support YT programs..
It wouldn’t be if parents were more involved in their childrens educational structure and needs. I recall reading that scores on test continued to decline even after the DOE was introduced. And if they are backlogged by years in some areas how were they useful other than the government funding that was paid out for all the students they labeled with letters rather teaching birds to fly, and fish to swim?
