INTERRUPTING WHITENESS National Education Conf Blame White Teachers & Students for School Woes

Obama wanted "a national conversation on race." This conference is what he meant: "interrupting whiteness" in American schools, "challenging white supremacy," and eliminating the "white privilege" of Caucasian students.

A major national conference for teachers and school administrators starting on Saturday, October 10, in Baltimore will focus exclusively on race and racism, featuring workshops on “interrupting whiteness” in American schools, the “dominance of White supremacy” in society, “White privilege” enjoyed by Caucasian students, “white domination of thought,” and how to “decenter whiteness.”

The conference, officially titled The National Summit for Courageous Conversation 2015, is organized by the Pacific Educational Group (PEG), a large and influential consulting firm hired by hundreds of school districts nationwide — often under pressure from the federal government — to address “racial gaps” in scholastic performance and behavior problems in the classroom.

The program descriptions, as you can see, are composed almost entirely of academic jargon which intentionally obfuscates the text’s meaning. I’ve added occasional clarifications between excerpts, deconstructing the jargon into plain language — though in most cases the true nature of each workshop shines through the euphemistic terminology on its own, and needs no illumination.

Groups such as PEG which offer their services to school districts usually portray their programs as simply a way to boost the self-image of black students, to hopefully improve their academic scores and lessen disruptive behavior. And if PEG had kept its goal to nothing more than that, then there would likely not be any controversy. But, as this next workshop reveals, PEG has crossed way, way over the line from boosting the esteem of black students to instead intentionally tearing down the esteem of white students:

This next workshop, from the upcoming 2015 Summit, describes a process to brainwash ten-year-old white girls away from their instinctively colorblind attitude that all people are equal, regardless of skin color, and to dismantle their unacceptable “rigid sense of fairness,” and replace it with a hyper-conscious awareness of both the existence of race and the difference between races and, as the final step, to internalize in the girls a self-loathing of their own “whiteness” — which is the last of the program’s “Six Conditions” and the goal of every “conversation about race.” Conference attendees will learn how to implement these indoctrination protocols in their own schools around the country:

Pacific Educational Group did not dream up this race-centric approach all on its own. Its practices are based on an academic discipline called “Critical Race Theory,” which is so commonplace in modern academia as to no longer even be controversial. But outside a university environment, few people have even heard of it — and the few that have are usually shocked and outraged. The phrase “Critical Race Theory,” for all its multi-syllabic high-mindedness, is nothing more than a faux-intellectual way of saying “Everything — and we mean everything — is white people’s fault.”

Much of Critical Race Theory revolves around the concept of “whiteness,” which is not simply a skin color or racial identification but rather a state of moral turpitude: To have “whiteness” means that you personally share blame for all of society’s ills. It doesn’t matter whether or not you think prejudiced thoughts or treat anyone badly; it doesn’t matter whether or not your ancestors owned slaves or instead were abolitionists fighting to free slaves; it doesn’t matter whether or not your ancestors immigrated to the United Sates in the 20th century long after slavery was outlawed; it doesn’t matter whether you’re left-wing or right-wing or apolitical; what matters is that all of American society is inherently racist and favors white people, so that if you “look white,” you benefit from a racist system, and you are therefore part of that system, and therefore racist, and therefore (to peel away the euphemisms) evil. All “Caucasian” or pale-skinned people are genetically cursed with “whiteness,” which they cannot escape or disown, but people of other skin colors and ethnicities can also possess whiteness if they conform to “white norms” and refuse to embrace anti-whiteness activism.

The average person might see this entire worldview as shockingly racist, but Critical Race Theory has that angle covered too: Racism, according to the theory, is prejudice+power; and since (according to the theory) black people have no power in society, by definition they can’t be racist. The inverse of the stigma of whiteness is therefore also true: if you lack whiteness, you are immune from criticism or condemnation.

Until recently Critical Race Theory has been just that — a “theory” safely quarantined away from the real world in the pages of scholarly journals and the hallways of Ethnic Studies departments. But Pacific Educational Group is transforming Critical Race Theory into Critical Race Practice. They’re implementing in real-world settings (K-12 classrooms) the notions that until now were discussed only hypothetically:

Any white person who refuses to accept the label “racist” and who refuses to shoulder the blame for all of society’s woes is engaging in “White Denial” and suffers from “dysconsciousness” that needs to be uprooted if that person wants to be allowed to teach children:

As revealed in the description of this upcoming 2015 workshop, “Equity Coaching” is a euphemism for psychologically “breaking” white teachers so that they not only confess their own inescapable racism but they then also bring to their students the attitude that whites as a group are morally culpable:

Is it your fault? Of course it’s your fault. Own the guilt. Accept your villainy:

Proponents of Critical Race Theory have sealed every possible exit for anyone trying to escape the guilt of “whiteness”; this workshop is aimed at teachers trying to wriggle out of the hot seat by claiming they’re not part of this imaginary “white race” anyway:

And it’s not just teachers and administrators who need to have their whiteness interrupted — even the janitors and cafeteria workers should check their white privilege and share some of the blame for creating the racist environment on campus:

One of the worst sins a teacher can commit is “colorblindness” — treating all children equally and paying no attention to race. This workshop led by an “Afro-Rican” student who lectures attendees that colorblindness is racist too since it fails to actively disrupt “white cultural norms”:

One of PEG’s areas of focus is “Restorative Justice,” a catch-all term for eliminating standard punishments (such as detention and suspension) for disruptive or violent misbehavior at school, and replacing them with what are essentially therapy and counseling sessions for the offending students.

Back in July, President Obama launched a national initiative on this exact topic, which has now become official government policy.

Many of the school districts that hire Pacific Educational Group do so only after being pressured by the U.S. Department of Education or sued by the U.S. Department of Justice to address “disparities” in the punishment rates of black students as compared to white students. The White House is now using the coercive power of government to force districts to accept PEG’s view that differing rates of school discipline for different ethnic groups are entirely due to racism on the part of teachers and administrators.

This new approach is called “decentering whiteness” in this highly euphemized workshop description:

“Re-education” is a term used in communist societies for compelling people into confessing their guilt and then accepting new ideologies. This workshop concedes that for white people, attending the Summit session is a type of “re-education”:

(Researchers have noticed for over a decade just how similar PEG’s workshops are to Maoist “self-criticism” public humiliation sessions.)

Despite having a worldview and a business model completely revolving around race, PEG repeats Critical Race Theory’s contradictory claim that races don’t even really exist, and are simply a “social construct.” And, yes, it is white people who invented the evil lie we call “race” (???):

(The term “KMT” that Glenn Singleton uses, by the way, is part of a bizarre “Afrocentrism” theory that ancient Egyptians were sub-Saharan black Africans, a claim that is universally rejected by all scholars of ancient Egypt.)

The excerpts presented here are just a tiny sampling of the numerous workshops presented at “Courageous Conversations” summits. See the links near the top of this page for a complete listing of all workshops and seminars being presented this year (and in past years).

Pacific Educational Group is no fringe clique of kooks — it is a large and highly respected organization which has been hired by school districts large and small across the nation (so many that odds are a child you know attends a school which implements the PEG vision).

The PEG Web site until recently used to display a list of its clients, but after some recent bad press they tried to scrub the information so that it’s no longer viewable by the public; now if you go to their “clients” page, all you’ll see is a notice that the information is only available by request.

Luckily, the internet is forever, and the pages listing all of PEG’s clients (as of 2014) are still preserved at the Internet Archive. Nearly 200 school districts across the country, serving many millions of students, have hired PEG to train their teachers and develop student curricula and establish restorative justice schemes.

For the record, here is PEG’s own list of school districts which have hired them, organized state-by-state for easy reference. Do your children attend school in any of these districts? Do you want them taught according to “Critical Race Theory”? Do you want them pressured to think of everyone in terms of race? Do you want them made to be self-conscious about their own ethnicity? Do you want them to be taught in an environment where students are intentionally treated differently according to the color of their skin?

(Numbers in parentheses after sample selected districts show the amount of students in that district being influenced by PEG’s ideologies, as an indication of the scale of the issue. All told, over 10 million students attend schools in districts which implement PEG’s “Critical Race Theory” vision — 20% of all schoolchildren in the nation. And this doesn’t even take into account the many statewide departments of education which have hired PEG to guide policy.)

A cute but not applicable anecdote. Romney had lots of very bad positions with which we disagree. But we have never had anyone before like Obama. Maybe one of the cars in your example should have a massive bomb planted by the greatest threat in the world — radical Islam. The two words Obama will never say. One of the cars may be stuck, but the other will cause massive destruction.

I will grant you that Obama is a larger-caliber pistol to the temple. Obama is a .45, and Romney is a .380.

Both results will be bloody, and there is a tiny chance of surviving a .380.

Beyond that, since my policy is “I cannot agree to disagree”, you will need to convert. :)

I know yoga is not a African practic, I mentioned that it was a eastern religion practice.

Christians should have no part of it no matter how watered down it is.

The reason why I brought this up is because all of this with this PC political indoctrination in schools and in the media is all part of their play book including introducing occult practices of witchcraft, and mystic religious “ New Age “ practices like yoga into our culture.

It has already been introduced into our music, movies, even in Christian churches in a very subtle way.

Just for grins, I looked up a couple of the presenters on ratemyteacher.com.

Here is Christine Saxman: http://www.ratemyteachers.com/christine-saxman/784518-t

Here is Crystal Goree: http://www.ratemyteachers.com/crystal-goree-johnson/388903-t

Those poor students.

Privilege has nothing to do with it.

Black VS White IQ Distribution

Many Africans rank in the "retarded range" for average IQ. Also note, that anything between 70-85 is considered to be on the "slow-side".

"They're barking up the wrong tree if they want to explore the achievement gaps of white and black students."

They will simply change the definition of intelligence, achievement and qualification, and use law to force people to adhere to those definitions.

Problem solved.

"Oh to be in high school again."

For us old time, loud mouthed rabble rousers, this would be easy pickins'.

Are we no longer raising sons with minds and the yearning for liberty?

Could it have something to do with their satanic religious practices ?

Look at all the oppressed , poor nations and look at their religious practices and you will find a startling pattern.

Once upon a time America was on top of the world in economics, fincial world, the military, science, education because we were for the most part a “ Christian “ nation.

It’s no accident that once we adopted strange and forgien religious practices of other cultures that there is pain, property, hardship.

During other times in history, I am open to conversion. In this case, however, we have someone who has disdain for the Constitution and is intent on fundamentally changing the country. He told us so. The weaponry is wrong. Obama is not a .45. He is more of a fuel-air bomb. He is tearing down the entire fabric of the country.

And that’s what they brain washed people to think, but in truth it is a mystic eastern religious practice that is being introduced into our culture by the New Age movement.

Christians should have no part of it no matter what shape or form they try to sell us, no matter how watered down it is.

The New Age movement is even being introduced into our modern day churches in a very subtle and seemingly harmless way, but make no mistake, it is there is you look hard enough.

It’s all in our culture, movies, music.

A great source to learn from is Mike Hoggart.

Another one is Tom Horn.

This indoctrination in these schools about White Privilege is all part of anti Christian war in our culture.

The Satanic Feminist movement is another large part of it.

The DNA chair Schultz even said today that the Republicans want to kick women out of this country, its fear mongering by the Feminist.

Check out the satanic Roots of feminism.

A yes, Feminism indoctrination has been infiltrating, filtering into our churches in a very subtle way, but it’s there.

We won’t agree that Romney was not a huge threat, not even when I show you that George Soros was alright with him as President in 2012.

“Ah! I see your point and now agree with you!” said no person on the internet, ever.
