Jada Williams Returns to Glenn Beck Program to Discuss Her Struggle With Freedom of Speech, Alveda King Responds

Jada Williams, Alveda King and Ayesha Kreutz, President of the Frederick Douglass Foundation Join Glenn Beck on GBTV

After The Blaze reported on the poignant story of Jada Williams and her essay on “English Expressions from the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass,” many of our readers expressed interest in reading her compete essay. With the author’s permission, we’ve reprinted it below.

In keeping with the spirit of the evening, on Thursday’s broadcast of The Glenn Beck Program, Glenn dedicated a profound segment to discussing freedom of speech as it relates to education. Jada, along with her family and Ayesha Kreutz, President of the Frederick Douglass Foundation we among those weighing in during the segment.

Glenn introduced the night by reminding viewers that Jada was targeted for her essay, which criticized the failures of the public school system.

“They sent in social workers and the President of the Union to intimidate this family — even a thirteen year old.”

“You’re not opening debate you’re putting a target on your back if you dare disobey.”

Watch below as Glenn, Jada and the panel delve into the story that captured America’s attention. Jada’s essay follows below the video.

 

Later on in the segment, Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., joined Jada and Glenn to speak about what it means to “stand up.”

King started by telling Jada how sorry she was that educators who were charged with protecting her, turned on her. “Now I have to stand with you and your parents,” King said. “I know your character hasn’t been harmed.”

“If this could happen in the 21st century in the classroom this is not good.”

She also thanked Glenn for bringing Jada’s story to light in the media.

“It starts with one, then it becomes a community,” King said poignantly.

The ever-poised King engaged Glenn and the panel about instances from her own life. At one point, Glenn went asked King — who was never one conform to what others thought she should say or do — what it was like being the black sheep of her family. She opened up, recalling how she had strayed and become liberal in her early years of adulthood and was even pro-choice for a time. It wasn’t until the words of her grandfather and uncle set in, that she renewed her “relationship with the lord in the 1980s.”

She said that while her family may not always agree with her views, they know, through her willingness to go against the grain, that she speaks the truth.

As the conversation veered toward those fateful, grim days in the late 1960s, Glenn asked King if she was ever afraid as a child, watching her uncle and father. She said that “perfect love casts out all fear.”

One of the most profound moments of King’s segment came when she told Glenn, Jada, and the panel how her uncle always knew that he would be hurt one day because of his role in the Civil Rights movement. “But he was so dedicated, so prepared and ready,” King said of her uncle. She said that while she realizes her uncle is not Jesus, his role and sacrifice in life was much like Jesus’. Jesus would have said, “I am going to the cross, and don’t tell me not to go to the cross, that’s why I am here.” King reminded that her uncle, and father, knew why they were put on this earth and never questioned “laying down their lives” as Christians.

Glenn felt that there could be no one better than Alveda King to speak to Jada from the heart on what it means to “stand up”:

 

Watch below as the discussion of freedom of speech and education continues:

English Expressions from the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

During my Christmas break I had the opportunity to read the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. The Rochester City School District supplied us with this novel to read and expected me to expound on what I read and how it made me feel, as I myself being an African American and an eighth grader in the Rochester City learning institute.

Before, I began to read this novel, I had heard about it prior from a few older people that have read it and raved about it. I myself experienced it differently; I had some mixed emotions towards it. When reading the novel my first impression was “what am I reading”? The content of the narrative was far more advanced for me. I found myself getting a dictionary/thesaurus to look up words I have never seen before in my life. On the other hand I was appreciative because it helped to expand my vocabulary. So with that I am grateful. After, being able to cross-reference the words unknown to me I was able to read through the novel again with a clearer understanding.

That’s when it all sank in.

So then I began to feel very angry to read such material that was brutal and degrading to African Americans. Furthermore, I myself began to question,” as to why the Rochester City School District would supply us with a novel that would evoke such emotions?” I, also began to question,” what were the District motives and the intent behind us reading about history that doesn’t compliment the white race and their behaviors at all; what would come about of this?” Would they even consider my thoughts and my opinions?

So I’m very curious to see what the turn out will be. The one passage I would like to focus on was written on page 20, where it quoted Mr. Auld’s (a master mentioned in the narrative) opinions towards black and education, and I quote: “Very soon after I went to live with Mr. and Mrs. Auld, she very kindly commenced to teach me the A, B, C. After I learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three or four letters. Just at this point of my progress, Mr. Auld found out what was going on, and at once forbade Mrs. Auld to instruct me further, telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read. To use his own words, further, he said, if you give a nigger an inch, he will take an ell. A nigger should know nothing but to obey his master-to do as he is told to do. Learning will spoil the best nigger in the world. Now,” said he, “if you teach that nigger (speaking of myself) how to read, there will be no keeping him. It will forever unfit him to be a slave. He would at once become unmanageable, and of no value to his master. As to himself, it could do him no good, but a great deal of harm. It would make him discontented and unhappy.”

(Skipping down) I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty- to wit, the white man’s power to enslave the black man. It was a grand achievement, and I prized it highly. From that moment, I understood the pathway from slavery to freedom. My thoughts: This type of thinking is somewhat still prevalent in our society today. Most white teachers that I have come into contact with, over the last several years of my life, have failed to instruct us even today. The teachers are not as vocal about us not learning how it has been described in this narrative; but their actions speaks volumes. When I myself sit in crowded classrooms and no real concrete instruction is taking place. It makes that saying “history does repeat itself” all the more true. For white teachers to be able to be in a position of power to dictate what I can, cannot and will learn, only desiring that I may get bored because of the inconsistency and the mis-management of the classroom and remain illiterate and ignorant; or better yet distracted because some children decide to misbehave because they don’t understand, and ashamed to ask for help.

The teacher recognizing all of these things and still not addressing the matter at hand, so much time has been wasted- then the bell rings and on to the next class, same drama different teacher, different class. When do we get off of this roller coaster? When the white teachers began to pass out pamphlets and packets, they expect us the black students to read the directions, complete it, and hand it in for a grade. The reality of this is that most of my peers cannot read and or comprehend the material that has been provided. So, I feel like not much has changed, just different people, different era, the same old discrimination still resides in the hearts of the white man.

In closing, my suggestions to my peers, people of color, and my generation to try achieve what has been established by the African Americans and Abolitionists that paved the way for us to receive what’s rightfully yours. Blood, sweat, and tears have been shed for us to obtain any goals, which we may set for ourselves. Never being afraid to excel and achieve, because our ancestors have been bound for so, so, so, so, so long. We are free to learn, and my advice to my peers, people of color, and my generation- start making these white teachers accountable for instructing you. They chose this profession, they brag about their credentials; they brag about their tenure, so if you have so much experience, then find a more productive way to teach the so-called “unteachable”.

They contain this document that states they have all this knowledge to teach, so show me what you know, teach me your ways. What merit is there, if you contain all this knowledge and not willing to share because of the color of my skin. To all of our surprise, we all have the same warm, red blood running through our veins, regardless of what race I may be. If you don’t believe me, then poke me and poke a white man and you will see. To my peers, people of color, and my generation, start asking questions, start doing the research, get involved.

A grand price was paid in order for us to be where we are today; but in my mind we should be a lot further, so again I encourage the white teachers to instruct and I encourage my people to not just be a student, but become a learner.

    Okay, first off there is no such thing as an African American unless you have dual citizenship – first in Africa & then in America, which this youngster clearly does not have. Secondly, when are people going to get over themselves & the past that never happened to them, including Glenn Beck. Too many people have died at the hands of other people, Jews, Irish, blacks, Indians, South Americans, Asians, Native Americans, Europeans, Russians, etc. Guess what, I didn’t do any of those things. My ancestors escaped persecution from other Europeans by coming to this country & they were indentured servants & they worked their a–es off to be something more. I am an American mutt & I am proud to be a part of this country here & now & I an tired of the tripe being continually dredged up about things & issues that have no bearing any more in this country. Get with the 21st century now. Those of you stuck in the past are as bad as the Catholic church. I understand they only just recently pardoned Galileo & may be addressing the wrongs done in the 1700′s now. F–k you & your bigotry & your racism. If you think you have it so rough here, try Liberia. Try Africa, if you are so keen to be at war with yourselves 24/7. Grow up & get with the program & stop wallowing in your own self pity & ignorance. You get out of education what you put into it. This young woman is trying to justify her hatreds by using the past of an individual who was in a unique position for his time.

      Yeah, I’ve read Frederick Douglass & Harriet Tubman & Sojourner Truth & I study history as a hobby… But I will never really know what those people truly lived through because I was not there & things have changed whether you are willing to acknowledge that fact or not. If Affirmative Action does not work for you, then do something different. Get real. I studied my my a– off in school & if you aren’t willing to do the same, then so be it. Your choice. I had good teachers & I had lousy teachers that should have been retired forcibly, but I still got something out of each & every class I took because I made that choice & I applied my own efforts in that direction. A little self-responsibility in this world goes a long way & you will find that even if you work hard for something, there are no guarantees about anything anywhere. Wake up & smell what you be shoveling because it all ain’t dirt. I feel like I need a shower now. I hate hypocritical bulls–t.

      Dude, you need to get a grip. You seem like you are an educated person…but that only seems to have made you some kind of intellectual idiot. While I agree about the African American terminology, this young lady does not know yet that those terms where created and propagandized to get Black Americans to segregate themselves through pride. It is a division technique by the same people that created welfare, diversity training and so called affirmative action. If you want to stop being an intellectual idiot, look at the time frame when all of this started. It happened in the 60′s under Johnson…who voted down civil rights legislation as senate majority leader when Ike was president. He then reintroduced it when he became president, and the democrats took credit for it. Since they knew they lost the battle they have been waging with the KKK and intimidation. They created a way to enslave blacks through welfare…and dependence. During WW2, the bigoted white America realized that black people bleed the same as everyone else. Things started to change when Eisenhower came to office. They saw it and they did something about it. Now we have generations of indoctrination in which political correctness rules. This child…in her courage has realized it although she could never know the depth of it at her age. It will take some time, but she will see exactly what Fredrick Douglas saw and Reverend King as well as many other blacks and whites across the country. This child gives me hope

      @Maxim Crux Very well articulated and spot on, IMHO. The public education system has given up on teaching in her district and she was condemned for shining the light of innocent truth on this failure. It is no surprise that the modern day slave master union paid her a visit to intimidate the child and her family and keep them on the plantation.

      I agree that the narrative is insulting in continuing to divide the races—-but at the same time, she points out something very important. Whether teachers intend to or not, they are giving black students a pass on a lot of things out of pressure from the political landscape or by outright demand. Of course, we all know why that demand is in place; to keep them on the Democratic plantation. An informed and intelligent person isn’t corralled that easy. How she came across is easy to construe that she is lashing out at white teachers only, and in a large sense, she is–but I think she is more so lashing out at the systemic issue of intentionally keeping blacks convinced of being cared about by the progressives.

Because it was presented to her within the prism of race she addressed within this same prism. Now take out “White and African American” and read it again. They are doing this to all our children.

      Actually the pass is give the illusion that the left is conquering CRT (Derrick Bell’s philosophy). It is a progressive tool. Make the people distrust the government by making them believe the government is set up against them. So they are powerless unless they cease control… They push for more and more entitlements which stagnates incentive and leads to perpetuate the issue. It is designed to incubate the optimum voter. Meanwhile, the laws passed by the Progressives make everyone equal in hindrances instead of liberation. This is why the tapes of Obama hugging are huge.

      Derrick Bell might have thought he was doing good, and in his heart he may have been a man of compassion. However, the Progressive controllers are anything but. The want a two class system, the elites and everyone else. This is regardless of race, but what it means is that the elites will have everything and they can enslave and eliminate the undesirables through eugenic implementation. The poor will weed themselves out. This goes hand in had with depopulation principles and Agenda 21.

      The term African American is proof of the ignorance of those using it. If one did indeed have dual citizenship said person would be referred to as an Egyptian American or a Ugandan American. Africa is a continent not a country unless used with South then it would be South Africa. Blacks have always wanted to have some sort of distinction to their identity. I don’t call myself an European American. My ancestors came from Europe. Some about the same time as many of the slaves from Africa. They want to be set apart for one reason only, pity.

(Romans 8:17) I guess you can say that whatever Jesus receives, we receive. Definition of heir: a person who inherits or is entitled to inherit the rank, title, position, etc., of another. Definition of joint: sharing or acting in common, joined or associated, from Dictionary.com. Blasphemy in your own Bible! LOL!

    In defense of some teachers, my daughter works in mostly black schools in a special program to remedy what hasn’t been taught to kids by middle school. Her greatest joy is to see the light come on when they finally understand how words and sentences work. Over the years I have asked my daughters ( both teachers) what is the single biggest problem for these kids, and she believes it is lack of parental involvent in the kids education in inner cities. So many from single parent homes that struggle to stay afloat, or are into drugs. Parent teacher conferences are attended by very few, even with special hours for them. The second biggest problem is discouraged teachers who are worn down fighting against the first problem. The third problem is teachers who should be gone, period. Do not get me wrong, there are good parents, but they are not involved except for a few. It saddens my daughter, and she rejoyces for the ones who come back and tell her they are in college now, in spite of all that’s against them. This young lady is beyond blessed to have a parent who is right at her side, and helping her and supporting her every inch of the way, wouldn’t it be great if all the parents were, and teachers were held accountable, and kids were having good lives at home and school. This is my daughters experiences being a title one special tutor, going from school to school helping the other tutors to bring the kids in real danger of falling through the cracks up in math and literacy.

    I don’t agree with the premise of this essay except to say there are bad teachers just as there are bad students who disrupt the process. Learning is a partnership that requires commitment and respect from all partners. Discipline is needed now more than ever in our schools. But it’s not going to happen because there is a fundamental lack of respect. Couple that with the very real movement to dumb down the populace and it leads to people blaming one another instead of addressing the problem. Here’s some interesting reading that will help. deliberatedumbingdown.com

      I think you are missing the bigger picture. This child recognized something and she spoke out about it. I personally think she rationalized it in a way that makes sense to her and a whole lot of people, even though I do not agree with it. It is not a black thing or a white thing there is a fundamental problem with the school system. What she faced is not secluded to black kids, but to all kids in the public school system. The fact of what they did to this courageous girl after writing the the paper is amazingly evil in my opinion. This young lady understands something that most people don’t…that you can’t just rely on the so called professionals to teach you the truth. No matter what color you are, you need to be seek understanding outside of the institution as well as within so you can decide…as an individual whether or not you want to belong to it. That is what freedom is all about.

    What a very insightful young lady. Her essay is very thought provoking and true. It is great to see such a supportive family who stands up to the school and union bureaucracy. If the school was a true place of learning the teachers and the administration would have taken her essay as a learning moment rather than an event subject to punishment or accusations of emotional/mental issues (based on the fact that the school had a social worker come to the meeting).

    What struck me was the comment that one of the teachers was said to have made about not wanting to be lumped into a category. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Everything about a school is about placing kids in categories based upon, age, gender, financial, emotional, learning disabilities, free and reduced lunch, gpa, discipline, etc, etc, etc. What is even worse, once a kid is “labeled” by school administrators and teachers that label sticks with them their entire school career. Eventually those children become the “label” that has been bestowed upon them.

    I am very sorry that such a bright girl has to go through such a horrible ordeal. I hope that she remains strong and continues to work hard on her education. I wish her and her family the very best.

    As a teacher who left the profession, I would say that she should have said ALL teachers. I have worked with black teachers, principals and administrators who did not care if the black children at the schools in which I’ve worked learned, could read, and rarely showed them respect. The majority of my teaching tenure was in ALL black schools, where I was the minority, a white woman, and I cannot tell you how angry I was by what I saw and what was tolerated.

      In the short time span of 43 years (the Dept of Education came into being during the Carter Admin in 1979) the American public system went from the envy of the world (for excellence , from 1790 to 1970) to a digraceful sham under the tutilage of the Federal and State Gov‘t’s and Union malfeasance exploitation. Until we rod ourselves of the Dept of Ed and outlaw public sector workers from unionizing nothing will change. The race for the bottom has been the only solid accomplishment we can attribute to the marriage of unions and Gov’ts to teach the next generation. Billions of taxpayer dollars have been flushed down a balck hole with zero benifit to the students. It is time to outlaw all public sector unions, and return the education system back into the hands of the local boards (made up of parents/taxpayers). The central planning of public Ed policy through the Dept of Ed (at the Federal level) has been a absolute disaster for all races, creeds , religions.

    I think I’m reading my comment over and over on the feedback, but this was a wonderfully, tastefully done show. I know and trust that it will change her in a positive way for the rest of her days. I felt so good for her. God bless, and well done!

    “They sent in social workers and the President of the Union to intimidate this family — even a thirteen year old.”

    For real? I mean they have nothing better to do than harass a child over an essay quoting Frederick Douglass?

    Un-fluking-believable!

    I thought this episode was one of the best I’ve seen so far on GBTV. Good luck young lady, you are very bright and will go far in life with your attitude and courage. God Bless you, and thank you Glenn for having this lovely family on your show.

      I “almost” agree – there have been so many great programs – this one was really great. Hang tough Jada – the truth always wins – it may not be easy or pretty – it is worth having the conviction to stand – if only more of us had the courage to do more than vent here – if more would get off the couch and stop waiting for “someone” to do something. The sooner WE all realize we are the “someones” the better
