Berkeley Unified School District will explore the possibility of giving reparations to black students if they can prove they descended from slaves. This idea, like California’s and San Francisco’s expensive reparations proposals, is flawed and should be rejected.
$25,000 direct cash payments. An amount of even $25,000 will create jealousy and animosity among high schoolers.
Now imagine you are a white, Hispanic, or Asian student who is not eligible for the reparations. Maybe your ancestors worked long hours tothe railroads, were interned during World War II, or suffered from harsh working conditions or racial discrimination. Where is your money? They are also a convenient excuse for policymakers and their flawed ideas. Here is what the Reparations Task Force uses as a justification for exploring payments. The effects of slavery and racial inequalities have “manifested in a multitude of ways, including in race-based policies such as school segregation and redlining but also in the form of differences in literacy rates and home ownership.”
