Black students, on the whole, do much worse than other racial groups. Are supposed inequalities — poorer facilities, less money and bad teachers — to blame? Or discrimination and prejudice?

Dr. Richard J. Gordon says NO! He claims these are nothing more than highly creative excuses and it’s time to put blame where it belongs. He says the REAL reasons black students so often fail in urban schools are peer pressure and poor parental values.
His controversial views are sure to elicit emotional responses as Richard challenges
your audience to respond to such comments as:

• Peer pressure to fail causes black students to do poorly.

• Affirmative action is unfair to whites and Asians and soon to be illegal.

• Use of Black English has been an unmitigated disaster for most black pupils.

• Black teachers and administrators are usually far less qualified academically than white.

• School violence is much worse than previously imagined.

In his book, THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES! The Crisis in American Inner City Education, Richard addresses these and other emotional issues as well as describes, in stunning detail, the values of black pupils.
