Michael Brown has been dead for more than 100 days, yet he was in my classroom this morning. He stared up at me from the eyes of my 22 mostly black and brown students

So you are saying you have 22 criminals in your class? That is a little cold! I would be so insulted if I had a child in your class and you thought that way about him

The police are free to use deadly force with impunity so long as they tell a grand jury they felt threatened by their unarmed alleged assailant

Okay done with you know. If youu have to lie to make your point them your point is wrong............
You conviently let out the testimony of witnesses and the actual physical evidence and the autopsy evidence... Shame on you.

I have no doubt some of them do.It’s like that idiot guy who got mugged by some black guy or something and was basically saying he deserved it. Probably got some perverse pleasure out of it. The fact he wrote an article about it says a lot about the guy’s mental state.

His lesson plan should have included the topic of “poor choices, poor life.” What you do matters to the kind of person you will become and the opportunities that will open up to you.

Too bad that these minority children are enabled in their dysfunctional life styles. But there is a model for the other way of growing up:

What do you call a poor black boy raised in a Detroit ghetto by a single mother who can’t read?

I don't get the obession with this kid. He was fat, slovenly, a bully, not particulary good looking and apparently did not have much of a vocabulary.

I am beginning to wonder if Darren Wilson is evena real cop. Is this another Sandy Hook?

He serves the purpose of advancing an agenda.

At least they are now leaving out the aspiring rap artist, potential college student drivel.

Of all the kids that are killed yearly, this is the idiot they champion? The Cleveland police just killed a 12 year old with a BB gun. An actual child. Who's actually cute. I don't get it. This fat tard is related to someone, who does not want to be named. Holder maybe?

This teacher is well out of his depth. Language Arts, previously known as English class, is not the place for current events discussions. In the 8th grade, with an acknowledged performance deficit, books need to be open to the lesson of the day that will lead to performance improvement on the next round of standardized testing. If this class can’t diagram a sentence, identify parts of speech, punctuate perfectly, and spell reliably enough to proofread, then this “teacher” is committing educational malpractice. I’d also bet his lesson plan for the day did not cover what he actually did and now his principal is complicit in the malpractice for allowing this free-form approach to continue.

I’m not really sure if the new ‘Common Core Curriculum’ teaches diagramming sentences, etc. I mean, why would any of the younger generations need that? /s

"Teaching" these kids that they are helpless victims is the cause of this whole incident in the first place. The irony in this all is so obvious if you just look at it unfiltered. It's astounding, yet this is how they have been conditioned to think for so many years (blacks and the apologists). The alternative approach is to be accountable for your own actions, properly raise your children and make life your duty, all things that require hard work and commitment.

This problem is never going away... and it won't be for lack of trying. There is simply no effort given. Look at this man, he i dead. Raised in a dysfunctional household and by every reasonable account I've seen, they are either all gang members, or they at least go out of their way to emulate the gangster lifestyle. How are we supposed to be sympathetic when this lifestyle delivers it's predictable eventuality?

The only thing the black culture of illegal drugs want is a total hands-off policy. Then, they can run their illicit drug culture like the jungle they want. The good black families cower in the corner hoping they can raise their kids right while fearing for their lives.

I started to read the article, but I did not get very far, as I am sure you can imagine. It sounds like he has a lot of white guilt. I do not suffer from that disease. If these dip wads have so much guilt, why don't they just off themselves?

Banal, liberal tripe. Teacher feel qualified to pontificate at the alter of political correctness. Never once was the underlying cause/effect mentioned.

"He serves the purpose of advancing an agenda."

The real agenda is the illegal drug industry. It is a culture advanced by the rap artists and the black leftists. You can also include Obama, who I was told, was involved with the Black Gangster Disciples when he was back in Chicago. I suspect that Obama has crack cocaine addiction along with his cigarette smoking. But all that is being kept quiet--just ask Larry Sinclair. The black illegal drug industry is the real agenda. Crack cocaine in every home. That's the ticket!

White guilt? No, no. It’s white ignorance. 90% of liberals place on the LEFT side of the Bell Curve. That’s why they are sometimes referred to as THE LEFT.

He as much as admits with this remark that he can’t see past skin color. People are INDIVIDUALS Mr. Teacher.
