Wilkie says wokeness ruins military\">merit-based approach<\/a>. High achievers were rewarded, while\u200b underperforming \u2062students faced consequences. However, this approach fell out of favor, deemed too harsh and even \u200bracist.\u200d The system of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-sounds-the-alarm-on-another-voting-bloc-fleeing-the-democratic-party\/\" title=\"CNN Sounds The Alarm On Another Voting Bloc Fleeing The Democratic Party\">merit-based education<\/a> was dismantled, making\u200c way for the concept of &#8220;equity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But \u2063what does &#8220;equity&#8221; really mean? It&#8217;s a question that remains unanswered.\u2063 However, in practice, it has translated into spending more \u200cmoney on subpar schools and starting new schools from scratch to avoid perpetuating perceived inequalities.<\/p>\n<p>One such school, founded in \u2062Akron, Ohio, with the help of NBA All-Star LeBron James, was hailed as a groundbreaking \u200csolution. The media celebrated its launch, \u200cemphasizing the importance of caring for students rather than focusing on test scores \u200dor grades.<\/p>\n<p>However, the media conveniently overlooked one crucial detail: the students&#8217; actual academic\u2063 performance. A recent report \u2063revealed that not a single eighth-grade \u200bstudent at the I Promise School\u2064 had passed\u200b the\u200c state \u2062math\u2063 test since starting\u200d in \u2064the third\u2062 grade, five years prior. English scores were equally dismal, with only 11% of\u2063 eighth graders testing proficient in the subject.<\/p>\n<p>Despite\u2063 the school&#8217;s failure to\u2064 deliver on its promises, the\u2063 media continued to praise it, ignoring \u2064the glaring evidence\u2063 of\u200c its shortcomings. The\u2064 truth is \u200cthat no amount of funding or inspirational \u2062rhetoric can compensate for\u200b broken families and a toxic culture. The\u200c students at I Promise\u200b School, despite their access to state-of-the-art resources\u200b and free\u200d lunch, continue to struggle academically.<\/p>\n<p>This failure highlights the need to \u2063address \u2063the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lebron-james-founded-a-school-based-on-equity-it-is-an-unmitigated-disaster\/\" title=\"LeBron James' equity-based school: a complete disaster.\">underlying\u2063 issues \u200cplaguing marginalized communities<\/a>, such as broken families and a lack of moral and intellectual formation.

While they advocate for increased funding in education and homelessness, they simultaneously push for defunding the police. This \u2062contradictory stance only exacerbates the problems at hand.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the consequences of these misguided policies will be felt by the most vulnerable members of society. The children who are failed \u200bby \u200bthese experiments will be\u2063 left uneducated, impoverished, and dependent on a\u2062 government that only pretended to care about their well-being.<\/p>\n<p>While some may call this a disaster, our leaders label\u2062 it as &#8220;equity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Watch: The Matt Walsh \u200dShow<\/h3>\n<p>To gain \u2063further insight into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/solved-fewer-than-1-in-4-americans-and-just-1-in-3-dems-say-sexism-is-a-very-big-problem\/\" title=\"SOLVED: Fewer Than 1 in 4 Americans (And Just 1 in 3 Dems) Say Sexism Is a \u2018Very Big Problem\u2019\">issues discussed<\/a> in this article, watch The \u200bMatt Walsh \u2064Show.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/episode\/ep-1194-lebron-james-founded-a-school-based-on-equity-it-is-an-unmitigated-disaster-member-exclusive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to \u2064watch the show.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Get the Daily Wire App<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here\u200c to \u2063download the Daily Wire app.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>were rewarded, while disruptive students faced consequences.
