Milwaukee Public Schools: Diversity Office Blues

Yah, we know.  The Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) has had a problem for years.  Decades, actually.

But now we have a study which has a finding that is directly pertinent:

A new report revealed on Wednesday that K-12 school districts with a chief diversity officer [CDO] are associated with greater pandemic learning loss by Black and Hispanic students than other districts during COVID and have secretive transgender policies....

 ...Although the purpose of a CDO in a K--12 school district is to reduce achievement gaps for minority students and address their learning needs, the Heritage Foundation found that large school districts with CDOs suffered greater pandemic learning losses among Black and Hispanic students.

Math scores saw their largest decreases ever, while reading scores dropped to levels not seen since 1992 for fourth and eighth graders across the country, according to the Nation's Report Card.

Heritage Foundation Senior Research Fellow Jay Green told FOX News Digital that the federal government provided schools with an additional $190 billion to prevent learning loss during the pandemic.

He added that one of the things school districts spent that money on was hiring chief diversity officers. The investment did not appear to pay off....Heritage, quoted at Ace of Spades

Wrong.  It paid off for somebody:  the Diversity Officer--and her staffers.
