Indian Charter School Principal: Liberal Condescension Has "Wiped Out Many More People Than The Klan"

Awesome NPR story, worth a listen.

The principle introduced a "controversial" political philosophy, we're told: the idea that there should be academic standards for minorities, that they shouldn't be allowed to just learn "drumming" (as it's a scary-important part of their culture), and that discipline ought to be enforced.

His ditzy twenty year old snot nosed teachers don't like him, as they don't agree with imposing "fear and embarrassment" on unruly behavior or failure to do homework.

Of course, in five years, the middle school he runs went from being one of the worst to one of the best performing schools in the state, with scores on standardized tests rising from the low 400's to last year's 880.

Success is "controversial." Emphasis on discipline and high academic standards is "unconventional."

Liberals are "baffled."
