Mississippi could be closing a bunch of HBCUs...

At least we still have p valley

You mean b valley

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Education starts and fails in the home. That's a brutal inescapable reality. Nobody can stop a determined mind. Black people educated themselves under thread of death. Smuggled knowledge like contraband.

Now you can't get some people to care about or prioritize learning. What changed is the value for it.. you can learn whatever you want to online today. Where is the motivation. Where is the dedication? Nobody can stop a willing mind. The strategy needs to shift to start catering to kids who want to learn. Those that don't need to be out the way.

Man at this point you wasting your time explaing to people why education starts and fails at home

Save yourself and your family. If any black person comes to you thirsty for knowledge then that's when you give a helping hand.

They def not touching Ole Miss or Miss State. I also have to think they wouldn’t touch Jackson or Alcorn. All hell would break loose.

Outside of Sip Valley, which HBCU is in danger of closing?

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

In all seriousness the future of higher education is in trouble. Starting next year there’s going to be the enrollment cliff for all college and universities as it starts to match the massive population decline that started in 2007. Our HBCU’s are going to need to shift strategy and start recruiting Adult learners who want to go back to college. Feels like Jackson state could pull this off

Decrease in high school graduation rates while southern states implement child work laws. I'm not gonna deny part of this is the south seemingly devolving back to what it was (white men and black men discarding education for physical labor) but it's still ugly.

Those are majority white institutions so of course they aren’t.

The drop in the numbers are not close to being significant. Sounds like a door is cracked and they are kicking it open.

 

[TEH]

so they say the drop in high school graduation rates is fueling lower college enrollment. so the answer is to close colleges ... another state might say "damn we need to tackle these high school graduation rates."

They probably still have slaves who don’t know that slavery has ended in Mississippi.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Why the face? Its true. Those other schools are toast though. Mississippi is absolutely horrible so anything could happen

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Those are majority white institutions so of course they aren’t.

That’s why I said they’re definitely not touching them.

There are plenty of black kids doing what they need to do.

And plenty who are not by virtue of having their face in a phone 24/7
