Rose Parker is a former Dallas ISD teacher, adjunct professor at Brookhaven College, and the former Director of Research at a top tier venture capital firm. She has a Masters of Education in Social Science and Curriculum/Instruction. In February of 2021, she became the author ofWhat Would LBJ Say?: Robbing Poor, At-Risk, ESL, and Special Education Students in the Lone Star State AND HOW TO STOP IT.
Though there is no constitutional justification for federal intrusion in education, LBJ passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 which required school systems to ensure student needs are being met and the funds are being spent where they were intended. Parker tells the story of LBJ when he worked as a teacher in Cotulla, Texas in 1928 and how he drew from that experience while in the White House. Parents and school boards can and should be trained on how to use the law to demand resources provided for their children under state and federal statutes.
Fakequity
Legitimate school districts make sure each school gets the proper number of teachers based on the number of students. In campuses with a disproportionate number of minority and poor children receiving Title I funds, Dallas ISD has been skimming off $1500-2000 per child which translates into $1 million dollars taken from some of their campuses. Those funds are being backed out of the vulnerable campuses and used to pad the “rainy day funds” and line the pockets of the education patronage network of consultants and bottom-feeders.
