[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Black everything experiences discrimination in FCPS.  If you complain, they will get black FCPS employee’s to swear the discrimination doesn’t exist and to enforce the discrimination.  I guess the the only blacks who they allow to advance in FCPS are the sellouts.

I find your "sellouts" label problematic.  Maybe those people haven't experienced discrimination in their careers with FCPS?  I have kids in FCPS and I haven't had teachers underestimate my kids because of race, and I haven't ever felt like any teacher treated me differently because I'm black.  If someone black asked me questions about FCPS, I'd tell my experience.  Stating my experience doesn't mean no black kid has been underestimated or black parent talked down to, it just means that hasn't been my experience.  Blacks who advance shouldn't be labeled sellouts because it diminishes their accomplishments.  You are implying they are advancing by selling out rather than based on their merit.  Are you suggesting there are no successful blacks in FCPS who are there based on merit?  [/quote]

Regardless of race, advancement in FCPS has little to do with merit.

Every school has at least one rockstar that could outlead any leader FCPS has. The teachers know who that person is and can't believe they haven't advanced. Worse, the principals know who they are too but are often too threatened to promote or support them.

This is the case in every school system-not just FCPS. Unfortunately, promotion from the classroom has NOTHING to do with merit.[/quote]

That's because of the teacher unions, and their "democratic" friends.[/quote]
