In photo Florida Lt. Governor, Jennifer Carroll who serves as Gov. Rick Scott's Pet Negro in Charge. Amid national public outcry for a statement they remained silent for 22 days after the Trayvon Martin killing. Carroll also said nothing in the face of purposeful efforts to disenfrancise non-white voters during "Don't Re-Nig 2012." This sold out McNegro did actually say that racist suspect, Rick Scott epitomizes the values and the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King. From Beach Peanuts July 13, 2012. And now Florida wants to set different goals for student achievement in reading and math by race and ethnicity.
From [HERE] A poll released Thursday shows Florida voters are strongly opposed to many of the latest public school, college and university proposals advanced by Republican Gov. Rick Scott and state education leaders.
The Quinnipiac University survey found the largest margin of opposition — 71-7 percent — to the state Board of Education’s new policy of setting different goals for different racial and ethnic groups.
The board in October set student achievement standards for reading and math that are based in part on race and ethnicity. Many parent groups and educators decried the approach, which state officials defended as part of an attempt to meet accountability standards set by the federal No Child Left Behind Law.
The Quinnipiac survey results, however, showed 71 percent of registered voter think it is a bad idea, with 20 percent having no opinion and only 7 percent saying it is a good idea.
