Lloyd Marcus Op-Ed: Academic Expectations Lowered: Another Democratic Hit To Black Intellect

The conservative Republican entertainer in Florida argues that it's insulting for the Sunshine State to institute race-based educational goals: 92% of Asians reading at or above grade level by 2018, 86% for whites, 80% for Hispanics, and 74% for blacks: "The message is clear. The liberal school board, which I bet a dollar to a doughnut comprises mostly Democrats, does not think blacks can cut the mustard."

More: "As Gomer use to say on The Andy Griffith Show, 'Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!' The Obama administration had a hand in Florida lowering expectations and standards. CBS Tampa reported that the Obama administration required the new goals for the state to be granted a waiver exempting it from the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act. You have got to love those Democrats, always looking out for us intellectually challenged black folks."
