CLAUDETTE COLVIN

Written By: Barbara Bullen

When racism rears its ugly head against you

should you take action to stop the pain you feel

of being discriminated against

the laws that aren’t right

the laws to protect only whites!

When one hears about the Civil Rights era, it immediately brings to mind activists; Martin Luther King, Jr.,

Rosa Parks and organizations like the NAACP and the Southern Christian

Leadership Conference. There are also many other leaders and activists that are in history books throughout

the United States and the World. In 1955, a teenager stood up for her rights and was arrested even before the

infamous Rosa Parks stand. Rosa Parks, who worked for the

NAACP as the secretary for the Montgomery Chapter, was arrested for not getting up from her seat for a

White man on a bus. Claudette Colvin, a Black teenager attended Booker T. Washington High School, only 15

at the time, didn’t want her constitutional rights violated even though segregation on public transit was the

law. Whites were to be seated in the front of the bus, and if there were no seats left for

Whites than Blacks had to get up from their seats at the back for Whites to be seated.

Colvin lived in troubled times; times when segregation divided the nation so that Blacks took a back seat to

the lives of Whites. Segregation was the norm and the daily lives of all who traveled the public transit until

Colvin took a stand.

In Montgomery, Alabama, Colvin is said to be a pioneer, one who led the way and helped end

segregation on public transit. When she was forcibly removed from the bus and arrested on March 2,

1955, her attorney, Fred Gray, along with four other plaintiffs filed a federal case, in Federal District Court,

February 1, 1956, Browder vs. Gayle, to challenge segregation on public transit. A three-judge panel found

the law unconstitutional which was appealed to the Supreme Court where it upheld the state court ruling,

finding the law unconstitutional.

Colvin lived in troubled times; times when segregation divided the nation so that Blacks took a back seat to the lives of Whites.

Segregation was the norm and the daily lives of all who traveled the public transit until Colvin took a stand.

In Montgomery, Alabama, Colvin is said to be a pioneer, one who led the way and helped end segregation on public transit.

When she was forcibly removed from the bus and arrested on March 2, 1955, her attorney, Fred Gray, along with four other

plaintiffs filed a federal case, in Federal District Court, February 1, 1956, Browder vs. Gayle, to challenge segregation on public

“Browder v. Gayle 142 F. Supp. 707 (M.D. Ala. 1956) Decided Jun 5, 1956 709 *709 RIVES, Circuit Judge. Statement of the Case. The

purpose of this action is to test the constitutionality of both the statutes of the State of Alabama and the ordinances of the

City of Montgomery which require the segregation of the white and colored races on the motor buses of the Montgomery City

Lines, Inc., *711 a common carrier of passengers in said City and its police jurisdiction.

1 2 711 1 Title 48, § 301(31a, b, c), Code of Alabama of 1940, as amended, which provide: “§301(31a).

Separate accommodations for white and colored races. — All passenger stations in this state operated by any motor

transportation company shall have separate waiting rooms or space and separate ticket windows for the white and colored

races, but such accommodations for the races shall be equal. All motor transportation companies or operators of vehicles

carrying passengers for hire in this state, whether intrastate or interstate passengers, shall at all times provide equal but

separate accommodations on each vehicle for the white and colored races. The conductor or agent of the motor transportation

company in charge of any vehicle is authorize and required to assign each passenger to the division of the vehicle designated

for the race to which the passenger belongs; and, if the passenger refuses to occupy the division to which he is assigned,

the conductor or agent may refuse to carry the passenger on the vehicle; and, for such refusal, neither the conductor or

agent of the motor transportation company nor the motor transportation company shall be liable in damages. Any motor

transportation company or person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon

conviction, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars for each offense; and each day’s violation of this section shall

constitute a separate offense. The provisions of this section shall be administered and enforced by the Alabama public service

commission in the manner in which provisions of the Alabama Motor Carrier Act of 1939 are administered and enforced. (1945,

p. 731, appvd. July 6, 1945.)”

For the complete case see below:

According to Jonathan Gold in his article, “The Browder in Browder v. Gayle. On April 29, 1955, Aurelia Browder, like so many

other black residents of Montgomery, was mistreated on a city bus. According to her testimony in the civil case, she was

forced by the bus driver “to get up and stand to let a white man and a white lady sit down.” Three other plaintiffs, Mary Louise

Smith, Claudette Colvin and Susie McDonald, had reported similar mistreatment. The cumulative effect of these “demeaning,

wretched, intolerable impositions and conditions,” as boycott organizer Jo Ann Robinson referred to them, inspired

Montgomery’s black community to begin developing plans for a boycott that eventually began after the arrest of Rosa Park.

“Nine months after Claudette Colvin’s arrest, local activist Rosa Parks took similar action. She refused

to give up her bus seat to a white rider and got arrested. Colvin’s actions raised awareness, but

Parks’s actions set off a boycott of the Montgomery bus lines. Thousands of Black residents rode the

bus to work, often for white employers. After Parks’s arrest, though, they refused to ride for an entire

year (National Youth Summit 2020).”

tudent%20Kit%20FINAL4.pdf

Colvin’s case unlike Rosa Parks’s “was dropped by civil rights campaigners because Colvin was

unmarried and pregnant during the proceedings.[6][7] It is now widely accepted that Colvin was not

accredited by civil rights campaigners at the time due to her circumstances. Rosa Parks stated: “If the

white press got ahold of that information, they would have [had] a field day.

The record of her arrest and adjudication of delinquency was expunged by the district court in 2021,

with the support of the district attorney for the county in which the charges were brought more than

66 years before.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudette_Colvin

When people, no matter their race, color or creed cannot take any more discriminatory and racist

acts towards them, their only recourse is to take action. Humanity needs people like Colvin and the

others who took a stand for their rights despite the consequences.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Written by: Barbara Bullen

Martin Luther King Jr., (Michael King Jr., 1929-1968) known internationally throughout the world as one of

the greatest mediators of all time, is honored yearly. Brought up as a Christian, he followed in his father’s

footsteps (Martin Luther King, Sr.) by becoming a Baptist Minister. A man who took it upon himself to

eradicate discrimination against blacks along with his wife, Coretta Scott King, his leaders and activists,

helped dismantle the barriers that for so long held blacks from having equal rights. The civil rights

movement which began in 1955 led to the enactment of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of

which Martin Luther King Jr. was the President. Martin’s mission was to do what ever was necessary in a nonviolent

way to dismantle discrimination, violence and oppression against blacks which included the use of

civil disobedience.

For too long, the laws protected whites in order for blacks to be subservient. He was tired and so were blacks

in the South, throughout the United States and around the world, so King participated in and led marches for

their civil rights including the right to vote, desegregation and labor rights. King was also instrumental in the

1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott which was a protest against the segregation policies of public transit.

December 5, 1955, the Monday after Rosa Parks sat in the white area of the bus and refused to give her

seat to a white person, she was arrested due to the segregation laws on public transit, only permitting

her to sit in the back of the bus. King led many nonviolent protest marches and was the key figure helping

organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered a speech that electrified the nation with his “I

have a Dream speech” on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Part of his speech is listed below because the

reinforcement of what King did for the world to change the discriminatory practices and laws need to be

remembered by all.

I HAVE A DREAM SPEECH

Martin Luther King Jr

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these

truths to be self‐evident, that all men are created equal.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former

slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice,

sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the

color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and

every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s

children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to

join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

January - February 2022

1964 saw the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to King for dismantling racial inequality through nonviolence. In 1965, Martin

was instrumental in organizing two marches from Selma to Montgomery in the fight for the right to vote with activists of the

Southern Christian Leadership Conference. In 1968, Martin was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee when he planned a national

occupation of Washington, D.C.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day is King’s birthday which is a federal holiday signed into bill on November 3, 1983 by President Ronald

Reagan for the third Monday of each January.

Martin Luther King Day In Ohio

I’ve made countless accommodations for students who want to avoid the vaccine mandates coming into play for all students

or staff this January by making course substitutions so they can graduate, but it impacts some of their vocational

licensure which is diminishing their ability to work post graduation.”

The effect of COVID-19 vaccine mandates on the US workforce has been well-documented by my FEE colleague Jon

Miltimore, who has written about employees in various sectors quitting their jobs over these mandates. Students in

higher education programs are also quitting over the mandates, which is particularly concerning when it involves nurses-in-training

in a healthcare sector that is already grappling with severe staffing shortages.

The community college professor I interviewed, who indicated that the majority of her students are low-income and

people of color who have been generally more resistant to getting the COVID-19 vaccine, added that for all the talk

about “equity” and “access” in these higher education programs, the vaccine mandates create enormous education

hurdles. “I would love people to recognize the hypocrisy of ‘ensuring access’ at the same time they are making literal

barriers,” she told me. She added that her students are being denied religious exemptions to the COVID-19 vaccine

mandate.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2021 With all the COVID-19 mandates in place, it’s no wonder students are leaving in droves.

The Nobel Prize-winning economist F.A. Hayek warned us that the “more the state ‘plans’ the more difficult planning

becomes for the individual.” This has become increasingly apparent to Americans over the past 18 months, as COVID-

19 vaccine mandates and related government pandemic policies have disrupted individuals’ lives and livelihoods and

caused more people to rely on government dictates for direction and decision-making.

The community college students who are exiting their programs due, at least in part, to vaccine mandates, may be

leaving their higher education plans temporarily behind, but they are choosing to prioritize autonomy over coercion.

That is a lesson worth learning.

Your child has the answer. They have the same outcome they would have received had they asked an expert; they now

know why condensation forms on their cold glass. The only difference is that they got to see your process along the

way—which is an asset, not a deficit, because they’ve learned something about finding answers to their questions, a

process they will be required to repeat over and over throughout their lives.

As a parent, your ability to use your Googling skills to teach applies to entire subjects, not just one-off questions. The

most common subjects I hear parents express intimidation of are math and science; subjects they often found challenging

in school, and don’t feel qualified to teach to their children.

With abundant free resources on the internet (such as YouTube and Khan Academy), as long as you know how to find

an answer to a question—which every adult who can Google does—you can facilitate your child’s learning on any topic,

whether by finding the answers yourself or by finding resources that can do the teaching for you.

2. One of the key skills children need to develop is the ability to find answers to their own questions

The ability to find answers to questions has always been important, but it’s especially so in the information age. As

Einstein said,

“Never memorize what you can look up in books.”

No, You Don’t Need to be “Qualified” to Homeschool

Your Children

Over the years, I’ve heard so many parents dismiss the

possibility of homeschooling their children because they

don’t feel “qualified.”

“I’m not a teacher.”

“I’m not good at math.”

“I wasn’t good at X in school, so I could never teach my

child that subject.”

All these assumptions stem from a fallacy about what

education is, and what makes an individual “qualified” to

be a teacher.

The fallacy: that your ability to teach relies on your

If you can do these three simple things, you’re already qualified to be a homeschooling

parent.

expertise on the topic you’re teaching. While that may be

true for selling your teaching as a service—you wouldn’t

make a living teaching a class in a topic you don’t understand—it’s

not a prerequisite for effectively facilitating

your child’s learning.

Whether or not you hold a teaching certificate is an irrelevant

accessory to your ability to teach. To be an effective

educator, all you need to be able to do is:

• Use reference resources (like books and Google)

• Find the answers to your own questions

• Foster a sense of curiosity in your children

If you can do those things, you’re qualified to be a homeschooling

parent.

1. You don’t have to know everything. You just have to be able to find the answers to your child’s questions.

In most cases, basic Googling skills and the ability to explore with your child is all you need to teach your children

at home.

Take this as an example: your child is sitting outside in the sun drinking a cold drink, and asks you why the outside of

their cup is getting wet.

Your reaction is simultaneously intimidation (I have no idea) and interest (there might be a science lesson buried in

this).

You say, “I don’t know. Let’s figure it out.”

Five minutes and some Googling later, your child has learned about condensation, the dew point, and the effects of a

hot entity meeting a cold one.

The answer to almost any question that has been answered by man is available at your fingertips. The key to a useful

education—one that sets a child up for a lifetime of success—is not memorizing facts, but rather learning how to ask

the right questions—and then learning how to find the answers.

Einstein again: “The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts, but the training of the mind to

think.”

This is true not only of college, but of education in general. If your child knows how to think, how to formulate their

curiosities into questions, and how to answer those questions, they will be able to learn anything they need to, at any

point in time, for their entire lives.

That skill transcends the value of a standardized education—because it’s a skill that can be used to learn anything covered

in a standardized education, and anything else your child will ever want to learn.

Time and again, I’ve watched homeschool children quickly catch up to and surpass their peers on a given subject or

skillset, because they understand how to adapt and learn.

When you’re working with your children to find answers to their questions, you’re implicitly helping them build this

skill, and equipping them for a lifetime of learning.

3. A child’s education is largely predicated on their natural curiosity

Children are naturally wired to learn. The next generation’s proclivity to learn is a critical part of our survival as a species,

and it’s hardwired accordingly.

Every time a child mimics an adult, play-acts the real world (like “playing store”), or asks a question, you’re watching

this natural wiring in action.

This natural proclivity to learn works to your advantage as a homeschooling parent. All you have to do is nurture it.

And homeschooling allows you to do that far more effectively than regular school does.

My first foray into teaching (right after I graduated high school) was instructing writing classes. I worked with both

homeschool and public school students, and the difference between the two was startling.

The homeschool students were curious, excited, and fun to work with. I was teaching them how to write fiction, and

they didn’t require much prompting. I gave them a challenge each week, and that was all the encouragement they

needed. I had students practically tripping over themselves each week to show me what they’d written when they

were at home in between classes.

Take this as an example: your child is sitting outside in the sun drinking a cold drink, and asks you why the outside of

their cup is getting wet.

Your reaction is simultaneously intimidation (I have no idea) and interest (there might be a science lesson buried in

this).

You say, “I don’t know. Let’s figure it out.”

Five minutes and some Googling later, your child has learned about condensation, the dew point, and the effects of a

hot entity meeting a cold one.

Their joy in learning was alive. All I had to do was direct their natural curiosity and let them run with it.

Working with public school students was an entirely different story. I was working with the full grade range—1st grade

all the way into high school—and I saw in stark relief their natural curiosity slowly dying.

The 1st-3rd graders were hungry to learn. The 4th-6th graders required some prodding, but after some explanation and

encouragement could start to have fun. But by the time the students hit middle school, their interest in learning was

gone. Nothing I tried could make them excited. They were there because they had to be, and they were watching the

clock waiting until they could go. Learning had become a compulsory requirement, not an endeavor stemming from

desire.

School doesn’t foster curiosity; it kills it. With its rules, its rigid structure, its obsession with right and wrong answers,

and its punishments for deviating off course, it doesn’t leave any room for curiosity.

With all that unnatural structure absent, a child’s natural curiosity remains intact. And when a child is left to their own

devices and allowed to lean into their curiosity, a parent’s biggest job is helping to direct it.

Despite common belief, all of this applies to homeschooling your high schooler, too

I’ve heard countless homeschooling parents say, “I could never teach my child through high school.”

Even when someone is convinced of their ability to educate their child through elementary and middle school, high

school is considered to be a different beast.

The subject matter is more challenging, the standard requirements more complex, and the level of expertise necessary

to answer questions is significantly higher.

In spite of that, you don’t need any extra qualifications to homeschool your high schooler. If anything, the resources

available to you are even more expansive than they are for elementary-aged students.

With your child at a comprehension level to use resources like The Great Courses and Khan Academy (both of which

were staples of my own homeschooling experience), they’re able to engage with entire courses covering the subject

matter they’re expected to learn—putting less of a burden on you, not more.

And as your high schooler becomes more self-directed, they’re able to take on more and more of the impetus of

answering their own questions. As long as you’re able to support them in finding the answers they’re looking for, you’re

more than qualified to educate your child through high school—and often, high school is the most fun part of the

homeschool experience (it certainly was for me).

Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald when asked of which parents can avail themselves,” he explained.

Compulsory schooling, or compulsory attendance, statutes date back to the 19th century, when Massachusetts

enacted the first law of this kind in 1852. Horace Mann, then president of the Massachusetts state board of education

who is considered to be the architect of the American public school system, was captivated by the Prussian model of

education that hinged upon compulsion and standardization. Mann imported that model to the US, where widespread

anti-immigrant sentiment in places such as Massachusetts made it easier to pass compulsory schooling laws.

In the first half of the 1800s, immigrants flocked to American cities seeking a better life and fleeing famine and oppression

abroad. In 1847, for example, 37,000 Irish immigrants arrived in Boston, which at the time had a population of just

over 100,000 people.[i] These Irish, mostly Catholic immigrants challenged the dominant Anglo-Saxon Protestant mores

at the time, and were seen as threats to the social order.

“Those now pouring in upon us, in masses of thousands upon thousands, are wholly of another kind in morals and

intellect,” lamented the Massachusetts state legislature in 1848.[ii]

This xenophobia helped to spur the introduction of compulsory schooling laws, something that advocates of universal

government schooling had been pushing for. In 1851, the editor of The Massachusetts Teacher, William Swan, articulated

the widespread contempt for the state’s Irish Catholic immigrants. He wrote:

“In too many instances the parents are unfit guardians of their own children…Nothing can operate effectually here but stringent legislation,

thoroughly carried out by an efficient police; the children must be gathered up and forced into school, and those who resist or impede

this plan, whether parents or priests, must be held accountable and punished.”

One year later, Massachusetts passed the country’s first compulsory schooling statute which mandated school attendance

under a legal threat of force. Soon, other states followed suit, with Mississippi the final holdout, passing its compulsory

schooling law in 1918.

Prior to the passage of compulsory schooling laws, education was broadly defined and diversely offered. In the 17th

century, early American colonies passed compulsory education laws that mandated cities and towns provide schools

and teachers for those parents that wanted them, but parents were not compelled to send their children to these

schools. Indeed, many of them did not. Homeschooling, apprenticeship programs for teens, and a wide assortment of

public, private, and charity schools for the poor were ubiquitous in the country’s early years. Literacy rates reflected

the success of these varied educational options, with historians estimating that three-quarters of the US population,

including slaves, was literate at the time compulsory schooling laws began to emerge.[iii]

Eliminating compulsory schooling laws would remove the state’s authority and influence over education. Parents would

be put back in charge of their children’s learning, choosing between a panoply of options supported by a bustling free

market in education. New learning models would sprout, as entrepreneurs and educators rise to meet parent demand,

free from the fetters of government oversight. Cities and towns could still be required to provide education services

to parents that want them, just as they were prior to the passage of compulsory schooling laws, but parental choice

would be paramount.

“Repealing compulsory schooling laws would enable complete and total parental education freedom to do whatever

their child needs, without one glance back at truancy officers or any state statute,” said Michigan’s McMillin. “It would

‘allow’ parents to focus on exactly what their child needs, including mental health,” he added.

An xenophobic remnant of the 19th century, compulsory schooling statutes obstruct education innovation and hamper

choice. More education officials should follow McMillin’s lead in calling for an end to these restrictive laws.

Following Deadly Tragedy

he concept of inflation (the depreciation of purchasing

power of a specific currency) applies to other goods

besides money. Inflation is related to the Law of Supply

and Demand. As the supply of a commodity increases,

the value decreases. Conversely, as the good becomes

more scarce, the value of the commodity increases. This

same concept is also applicable to tangible items such

as vintage baseball cards and rare art. These are rare

commodities that cannot be authentically replicated and

therefore command a high value on the market. On the

other hand, mass-produced rookie cards and replications

of Monet’s work are plentiful. As a result, they yield little

value on the market.

Inflation and the opposite principle of deflation can also

apply to intangible goods. When looking at the job market,

this becomes quite evident. Jobs that require skills

that are rare or exceptional tend to pay higher wages.

However, there are also compensating differentials

that arise because of the risky or unattractive nature of

undesirable jobs. The higher wages are due to a lack of

workers willing to accept the position rather than the

possession of skills that are in demand.

Over the past couple of decades, credentialing of intangible employment value has become more prevalent. Credentials

can range from college degrees to professional certifications. One of the most common forms of credentialing has

become a 4-year college degree. This category of human capital documentation has evolved to take on an alternate

function.

Source: National Review

https://www.nationalreview.com

Outside of a few notable exceptions, a bachelor’s degree serves a signaling function. As George Mason economics

professor Bryan Caplan argues, the function of a college degree is primarily to signal to potential employers that a job

applicant has desirable characteristics. Earning a college degree is more of a validation process than a skill-building

process. Employers desire workers that are not only intelligent but also compliant and punctual. The premise of the

signaling model seems to be validated by the fact that many graduates are not using their degrees. In fact, in 2013;

only 27 percent of graduates had a job related to their major.

58

59



January - February 2022

NHEG EDGUIDE January - February 2022

Since bachelor’s degrees carry a significant signaling function, there have been substantial increases in the number of

job seekers possessing a 4-year degree. Retention rates for 4-year institutions reached an all-time high of 81 percent in

2017. In 1940, 4.2 million Americans were 4-year college graduates. Today, 99.5 million Americans have earned a bachelor’s

degree or higher. These numbers demonstrate the sharp increase in the number of Americans earning college

degrees.

Today, nearly 40 percent of all Americans hold a 4-year degree. Considering the vast increase in college attendance and

completion, it’s fair to question if a college degree has retained its “purchasing power” on the job market. Much of the

evidence seems to suggest that it has not.

What is Credential Inflation?

The signaling function of college degrees may have been distorted by the phenomenon known as credential inflation.

Credential inflation is nothing more than “… an increase in the education credentials required for a job.”

Many jobs that previously required no more than a high school diploma are now only accepting applicants with bachelor’s

degrees. This shift in credential preferences among employers has now made the 4-year degree the unofficial

minimum standard for educational requirements. This fact is embodied in the high rates of underemployment among

college graduates. Approximately 41 percent of all recent graduates are working jobs that do not require a college

degree. It is shocking when you consider that 17 percent of hotel clerks and 23.5 percent of amusement park attendants

hold 4-year degrees. None of these jobs have traditionally required a college degree. But due to a competitive job

market where most applicants have degrees, many recent graduates have no means of distinguishing themselves from

other potential employees. Thus, many recent graduates have no other option but to accept low-paying jobs.

The value of a college degree has gone down due to the vast increase in the number of workers who possess degrees.

This form of debasement mimics the effect of printing more money. Following the Law of Supply and Demand, the

greater the quantity of a commodity, the lower the value. The hordes of guidance counselors and parents urging kids

to attend college have certainly contributed to the problem. However, public policy has served to amplify this issue.

Various kinds of loan programs, government scholarships, and other programs have incentivized more students to

pursue college degrees. Policies that make college more accessible—proposals for “free college,” for example—also

devalue degrees. More people attending college makes degrees even more common and further depreciated.

Of course, this not to say brilliant students with aspirations of a career in STEM fields should avoid college. But for the

average student, a college degree may very well be a malinvestment and hinder their future.

Incurring large amounts of debt to work for minimum wage is not a wise decision. When faced with policies and social

pressure that have made college the norm, students should recognize that a college degree isn’t everything. If students

focused more on obtaining marketable skills than on credentials, they might find a way to stand out in a job market

flooded with degrees.
