Parents are outraged that a North Carolina school district which faces a nearly $6 million budget shortfall is paying for so-called “equity training” for school staff which includes topics such as “structural racism” and “white privilege.” Rockingham County Schools is paying OpenSource Strategic Consulting a flat fee of $45,000 and will reimburse up to $1,500 for travel expenses over the course of the training, according to a June 20 report by A.P. Dillon of American Lens. Rockingham County commissioners recently cut the county’s education allotment by $269,000. The district faces around a $5.7 million shortfall, the report said. The Rockingham School Board during its March 13 meeting viewed a presentation on the “equity training” by Dr. Cindy Corcoran. ... “I just want to share light on a situation that happened at Western Rockingham Middle School where a teacher caused some of her students to stand up and apologize to other students based on their inequal opportunities of education,” Farren Wilkinson told the board. “So I would like to know how our schools can allow an educator to humiliate, bully and degrade students. This is not a matter of race but a matter of a teacher using fear and the embarrassment of children to satisfy her own personal anger or beliefs.” Stephanie Wray, Principal of Western Rockingham Middle School, indicated no such incident occurred. “Any allegations brought to our attention are investigated thoroughly and proper disciplinary action is taken if needed,”

I just finished leaving a message at the number above. I told them that I hope their district is made an example of how not to handle teacher training concerning racism and sexism.
I also expressed to them the God created man heterosexual and that this is normal. I expressed that our country was founded on the Bible and Christian morals.
It’s going to get uglier before it gets better
This defines what is wrong with our school system.
Bkmrk.
