American Indian Model (AIM) Students’ Ten Commandments
by Dr. Ben Chavis
|
- Thou shalt remember that laziness is the quickest path to failure. Thou shalt accept that family culture, accountability/structure, high expectations, and free market capitalism will lead to success in school and life.
-
Thou shalt accept full responsibility for thy failure or success in school and life. Blaming thy family, friends, or circumstance will not lead to success. Blame is an excuse for failure, laziness, and leads to being a victim.
-
Thou shalt covet the studying of ninety minutes of English-language arts and ninety minutes of mathematics each school day, with a minimum of forty-five minutes for each class of science, social studies, physical fitness, and two hours of homework to build a sound educational foundation for all students.
-
Thou shalt be aware that affirmative action and diversity specialists have made a professional career based on people’s color and sex. These individuals are committed to human inequality to ensure they are employed.
-
Thou shalt be aware that “affirmative action” for minorities is the most blatant form of racism in the United States. Why dost thou think Africa, China, or the Navajo Indian Nation does not have affirmative action programs for white people?
-
Thou shalt choose common sense over left-wing liberal ideology. Thou shalt also choose common sense over right-wing ideology. Thou shalt avoid ideologists as though they are the plague.
-
Thou shalt be aware of quacks who believe in communism. Thou hast the quickest route to freedom through free market capitalism and private property ownership. Hast thou ever heard of illegal immigrants risking their lives to enter Cuba?
-
Thou shalt pursue higher education and free market capitalism. As Frederick Douglass stated, "It means light and liberty. It means the uplifting of the soul of man into the glorious light of truth, the light by which men can only be made free."
-
Thou shalt remember that standardized tests are not aware of anyone’s skin color or sex. Thou shalt put forth thy best efforts; hold thyself to the highest academic and social standards that enhance all students’ ability to compete in a free market capitalist society.
-
Thou shalt always be part of our AIM to Educate family. Thou hast been prepared for success through family culture, accountability/structure, high expectations, and free market capitalism. Thou shalt embrace the challenges of life and turn them into a productive educational experience.
