What many people do not know is that the use of standardized tests has its origins in the Eugenics movement, where basic tenets assert that certain races are inferior to others biologically and intellectually.

Karen Lewis, President of the Chicago Teachers Union

Standardized testing and the Eugenics movement »

A MUST read by Chicago Teachers Union president Karen Lewis. Standardized testing isn’t about improving education, it’s a way for the system to sort out which kids are meant to succeed and which are destined failure.

But we can change academia from the inside right??!! Nah. How many do I know who went in thinking that but are now miserable because it’s just white ppl plagiarizing them all day long? Too fucking many.

I’ve had visions of division

Rich and poor competition, free or imprisoned

Those affected by choices, those who make the decisions

The s called “terrorists” striking the towers with precision

Buildings at freefall speed, don’t make sense

Obey or be terrorist is that their only defense

Whether grocery stores

Or walking through school halls

They got constant watch like Mumia Abu-Jama

Conspiracy theorists, get laughed at and called crazy

I’m a lyrical beast and guess who made me?

Can’t spell propaganda without pagan

Illuminati or Haliburton either devils are satan

Can’t fall asleep a rebel or I’ll get done like Fred

Hampton, a black panther shot dead in his bed

And heal yourself, yeah hospitals CAN save you

If they’re paid to, if not they say a bullet wound grazed you

And charge an arm and a leg just for some prescription

Of poisonous so called medicines entering your system

Native American and African healing practices I miss ‘em

They’re savages but got shamans, don’t it seem a contradiction?

Tribesmen and clans had better ideas in the past

Your rank based off respect and not about class

We got the rich and the poor and even the mid

With politicians and pigs’ exploitation like Indonesian kids

From sweatshops in Korea to fields in Sierra Leone

Poorer country lab rats we’re free to prey on

And if you’re on the bandwagon you’d better stay on

Because you’ll have the “eye of Horus” written on your gravestone
