Better to blame people who are already punching bags then to actually address the problem that is school funding and opportunities. Too many schools are falling apart on a structural level and blaming dropout rates on black folks is a disgusting thing to say.
If his initial premise were valid, he's have to then say that most teachers in America are white females yet black children have been failing disproportionately for decades. That is a discussion that should be had but not in the context of his limited premise.
Why did he feel the need to specifically bring up black teachers regarding the drop out rate? He his correlating black teachers and the drop out rate in HISD. What's the percentage of white teachers in HISD? Can we make the same correlation with the percentage of white teachers and the drop out rate in HISD?
HISD is above average in diversity, and their drop out rate is higher. That means.....diversity doesn't equal better teachers. Its almost like the color of someones skin doesn't matter, but how well they do their job... If you had better teachers you'd use critical thinking and not say silly things so openly.
He intentionally left that out. He acts as if Cyfair has no drop out rate. Hisd is significantly bigger so of course the numbers are higher. Pure ignorance. That was a response to someone saying they would like to see more representation. WTF...it made no sense.
The difference between pass and fail is parental involvement and expectation. You can throw as much money into schools as you want but accountability starts when we are very young.
That was his entire point. Race doesn’t matter. Hiring more black teachers does not equal less dropouts. Which is what he was fighting against: hiring teachers only based on race in order to become more diverse.
@@JC-li8kk Race does matter and representation matters. Leaders need to be representative of the population. The 36% black teachers at HISD may be aiding in keeping the dropout rate as low as it is, but the way he presented the information skews it to seem as if it were the opposite. having teacher representation proportionate to the student body demographic is beneficial for a few different reasons. Surely you can draw those conclusions. Let’s say an all white staff of brilliant educators vs. a diverse staff of brilliant educators, which one is healthier for the student body? The diverse staff. So he’s pretending like diversity doesn’t always yield positive results by correlating 2 unrelated and independent statistics as if one affects the other. It’s ignorant at best, but because it’s so racially charged, it’s racist.
Oh, this guy's a racist,and not even hiding. He literally faulted black teachers with the high dropout rates, when other districts with similar socioeconomic statuses in terms of students and teachers that are NOT black STILL STRUGGLE with dropout rates. So why is he making this about the educators race?
He didn’t make it about race. The ppl questioning him did. He used HISD as an example that increasing diversity doesn’t automatically improve student performance. If these ppl got their way, 20% of good qualified teachers would lose their job simply because they are white or Hispanic & they wouldn’t care who replaced them as long as they were black. Scott Henry wasn’t having that & now he lost his job & his family gets death threats.
He's conflating two facts that have nothing to do with each other. Houston is inner city, Cy Fair is suburban. Most inner city schools struggle for a number of reasons, and making it about the race of the teachers is narrow minded, at best. God bless you. Let's all be better.
@@dmason0925 Cy Fair is a lot like Houston now. It changed in a very short time. The inner city has been moving to the burbs ever since Obama was elected. Look at Atascocita and Spring. No different than the 3rd ward now.
He said what he said and meant it. I didn't hear him say what he. Meant to say since his words were"twisted". The issue with the schools is the disparity in how funds are issue from one zip code to another. Also, this antiquated way of teaching needs to change. Also, I know teachers that were not black but work around black kids, don't know how to interact or deal with the culture. I always state, the SYSTEM is working the way it is DESIGNED. Hence, School to Prison Pipeline. When my son was dealing with ADHD, HISD said they couldn't help me UNLESS he was failing. At the time, he was a 3rd grader testing post high school on math, listed as gifted and talented. As of yesterday, he said he's dropping out. Been a struggle for years. Public education keeps many as worker bees. The private schools that I called over the years, that catered to ADHD, was about $1500 a month or more. I can't afford that.
You may need to get him some private tutoring and put him in public virtual school as you don't want him to make life altering decisions when there are better routes. Kumon will help him rebuild the skills he lacked from previous years. That's why a lot of people move so their kids can be in better districts.
a. He's obviously not smart enough to have his position. He clearly said something that is offensive without him giving additional metrics (Poverty rate, teacher credentials, comparisons to white teachers, etc). b. Children suffer when parents, teachers, administrators, board members put money, and jobs and Sunday worship before the children.
If a school district has thirty-six percent black teachers, that number is not representative of the state average, nor is it congruent with the percentage of black citizens in Texas. That’s a legitimate metric to consider, especially if you have a high dropout rate.
What does the drop out rate have to do with black educators? That would be like me saying HISD’s drop out rate is 4% and the percent of students that drink milk at breakfast is 35%. Where are you getting at with that random reference?
As long as you're comparing the performance of student bodies with the same socioeconomic statuses. You can't compare black teachers in a district where most students come from hardship to teachers that are not black in districts where the kids come from families that financially stable and somewhat educated. That's literally comparing apples to oranges and the fact that he'd even try is the reason for the outrage as it shouldn't have even came to his mind when there are too many disparate factors to consider.
He singled out African American teachers and connected them ONLY to the drop out rate of the CFISD students did you not watch the video or the extended clip available via other resources! SMH....

@@williammontague5486 Because those ppl he met with want to get rid of white & Hispanic teachers & replace them with black teachers. He had to show that simply having a more diverse teacher population doesn’t mean better student performance. HISD was an easy example & proves his point.
But he only presented numbers for black teachers. Why not present the numbers for white teachers in school districts similar to HISD as well? I seriously doubt they're doing much better as the primary issue isn't the race of the teacher, but the fact that people keep having children that they can't care for, and that definitely isn't a race issue.

@@sparklesp9304 Because they weren’t trying to get rid of black teachers. That would be racist. They only want to get rid of the white & Hispanic teachers.

Saying that a teacher’s ability to get a job should not be determined by their race, but by how good of a teacher they are makes a person a racist? Wow, 2022 for you.
Not only was what he said extremely racist, but why is he blaming teachers for kids wanting to drop out? Really? How clueless and tone deaf is he? It didn't occur to him that there may be plenty of other factors that could be the cause of students dropping out? Not a rough home life? Poverty? Mental illness? What kind of bubble does this man live in that he thinks that teachers are the cause of students dropping out, let alone because of the teacher's skin color? Also, you gotta love how he uses the classic, "You're twisting my words." Line for something that we ALL heard him say on camera. This isn't something that someone heard and is paraphrasing. This is something that we all heard him say. Who's doing the twisting here? That's exactly what he meant. This is classic gaslighting at its best, a common tactic that racists use to excuse or dismiss their own behavior when they get called out. Someone else will insist that it's based off of "facts" by seeing what the media will cherry pick to make it out to seem as if minorities are less competent or not smart enough to teach, but yet they'll see something that a man has said, and they'll even see the full version of the video to see all of the context, and they'll still try to say, "It's taken out of context." Or, "You're twisting their words." While being perfectly fine when taking statistics out of context and twisting studies to prove the point he tried to make.
So this man is a racist for saying that a teacher’s ability to get a job should not be determined by their race, but by how good of a teacher they are? Unbelievable...

But I would hope that persons who have escalated to a position of board member would have the ability to think critically about issues, rather than jump to conclusions. He shouldn't have to hold their hands.
Definitely not the truth considering white teachers are at a higher percentage, but race of the educator has nothing to do with it also. It was just ignorant to try and correlate the two.
Why would you try to ruin someone this is why no one watches mainstream media anymore shame on y'all shame shame shame you will have to deal with God when you die if you go to heaven

I can see how his words can be misinterpreted. Sometimes we focus too much on the way we say something that we completely fumble what was meant to be said. But at the same time,I don't think we can solely blame teachers for dropout rates. And them being black it just goofy. What about mixed teachers? Teachers that are black passing? I don't understand why the skin color matters. And I highly doubt black teachers are all coming together to make their students dropout. 🤣 Kids drop out for numerous reasons. Most of the time its due to their home life. Lost a lot of friends that way. To be honest,I don't care about the political angle. It's all Marvel vs DC to me. Doesn't matter. Good thing is he'll learn from this situation and I'm sure kids will continue to dropout whether he resigns or not.
At least 4 ppl see it. Cannot believe how easily ppl are manipulated these days & will not do any research but just take anyone’s word for it. Now I see just how narrow the path is.
There are quite a few things here at play. First : Drop out rate. 4% : Out of 100 students, 4 do not finish High School.........What percent of those who DO finish High School end up in prison or get killed?..........What percent of those who DO finish High School get a better job than a drop-out (Is the High School diploma worth much for some students)? Second : Is it DUE to the Black teachers?.....................You can have a teacher that "tries" real hard but if the student doesn't have a good backing from family, friends, etc.......... Third : Why not "shut" this guy's mouth by getting students to do better in school and get those statistics to show up better than they are?
Most of you on here are absolutely too emotional and have not listen to the full clip. I can’t call the guy racist, I can say his statement was poorly worded. Please go watch the FULL clip. STOP JUDGING people off of 30 secs. Also watch previous clips of this guy then make an assessment of who he is. We look for any reason to call a person a racist, sexist or even homophobe before we even get all of the info. If this were you (regardless your race) you definitely would want people to look into your track record before they judged you. BTW don’t comment on my post if you are easily influenced by the media and lack your own research and understanding. Save the racist cry for when it’s needed, this is not it.
Can you please post a link of the full 15 minute video? I can’t believe what this man is going through. The very thing he was trying to disprove is the thing he’s accused of. The real racists were the ppl he was meeting with & not one word spoken of them. So unfair.
@@JC-li8kk idk but every time I try to repost the video it gets removed from RUclips. Idk what’s going on. Just look up Cyfair district meeting you will come across the video.
For starters; diversity has NOTHING to do with job qualifications. While Scott Henry could have used a little more tact in his words, that is the honest truth. Secondly; given the nonsense which goes on in a lot of HISD schools, a 4% dropout rate seems pretty good if you ask me! Until last week, I would have thought it was at least 10%!

never will have a solution. been hundred years. and we believe things will get worse as they are on their cell phones all the time.
Most of you on here are absolutely too emotional and have not listen to the full clip. I can’t call the guy racist, I can say his statement was poorly worded. Please go watch the FULL clip. STOP JUDGING people off of 30 secs. Also watch previous clips of this guy then make an assessment of who he is. We look for any reason to call a person a racist, sexist or even homophobe before we even get all of the info. If this were you (regardless your race) you definitely would want people to look into your track record before they judged you.
BTW don’t comment on my post if you are easily influenced by the media and lack your own research and understanding. Save the racist cry for when it’s needed, this is not it.
Can you please post a link of the full 15 minute video? I can’t believe what this man is going through. The very thing he was trying to disprove is the thing he’s accused of. The real racists were the ppl he was meeting with & not one word spoken of them. So unfair.
@@JC-li8kk idk but every time I try to repost the video it gets removed from RUclips. Idk what’s going on. Just look up Cyfair district meeting you will come across the video.
For starters; diversity has NOTHING to do with job qualifications. While Scott Henry could have used a little more tact in his words, that is the honest truth.
Secondly; given the nonsense which goes on in a lot of HISD schools, a 4% dropout rate seems pretty good if you ask me! Until last week, I would have thought it was at least 10%!
Black man Busby was arrested and indicted for allegedly working alongside a contractor to overbill the district $7 million for landscaping projects. where is the people demanding to pay back the money???????
