Rush Limbaugh, other conservatives attack NC school over white privilege handout
New Observer ^

Posted on 04/15/2018 10:24:20 AM PDT by Cubs Fan

Conservatives around the country are attacking the Wake County school system, a Raleigh elementary school and the school's PTA over a handout about white privilege that was sent home with students.

There's been national attention since a minority parent at Hunter Elementary School complained this week that her 8-year-old son brought home a handout on understanding the concept of white privilege — the idea that white people get certain benefits due to their skin color.

School officials say the handout from Hunter's PTA was only intended for parents. But conservatives, including radio show hosts Rush Limbaugh and Todd Starnes, are accusing local school leaders of trying to politically indoctrinate students.

"The white privilege propaganda being distributed at Hunter Magnet Elementary School is disgusting," Starnes wrote Wednesday on his website. "To shame children and their parents based on the color of their skin is simply unthinkable in this day and age."

But Laura McFalls, a parent of a fourth-grade student at Hunter, defended the handouts — part of a series on understanding racism — as a way of recognizing the diversity of Hunter. Located near downtown Raleigh, the magnet school is 40 percent white, 36 percent black, 10 percent Asian and 9 percent Hispanic.

“It’s good for parents to see that the school is conscious of racial issues," McFalls said. "It’s not being ignored. It’s something that should be talked about.”

this is the handout

A word to the handout creators--There are lots of countries out there where whites don't run things--Jamaica, Haiti, Lots in Africa. For people who can't stand living in a white majority country, please, go pick another countrty you would like better and go live there. There are plenty of choices.

It’s not a school for learning. It’s a brainwashing facility for dummies.

“Should make you proude to be white, instead of shamed...”

This cultural Communism is a bit much. Van Jones talked about a whitelast; i.e., a white backlash, but there needs to be some pushback against this nonsense and the people distributing this are really more a cult than something that is factual. The people preaching this cultural Communist nonsense are not open to reason and they insult and bully white children.

Whites better start protecting their interests like all the other groups do or they’ll end up second class citizens in the countries that they built.

Increasingly antiracism is becoming hatred of whites tarted up to look like Antiracism.

Bingo. America is going to be non white majpority in 20 year if nothing is done.

Does anyone think they or their white kids are going to get a fair shake, or will they be objects of revenge for "history"?

Okay. Then how about we take away everything that the white europeans brought with them, and leave. Or better yet, go full scorched earth on them.

North America would turn into a combination of mexico, zimbabwe, and lord of the flies within a year.

If it were liberals going after a conservative idea the headline would not call it an “attack.”

The liberals would be “concerned” or possibly “troubled.”

They would never attack! They might “fight back” because the liberals are never the aggressor.

I despise the MSM and their constant framing of the news to suit their narrative.

May they all burn in hell.

Attack? Like with ass-salt weapons? ARs and machetes and such? Armored vehicles? Scary stuff being touted in the hand out. Begin to understand the lies of liberals.

Why can’t historical accidents be allowed to be historical accidents?

Had America disavowed chattel slavery from its founding, it would be even whiter. I didn’t plan who my fellow citizens would be.

Some countries carry nonwhite majorities better than others. Ethiopia, though quite poor, is cheerful.

Well instead of steaming, we rednecks ought to call for a public dialogue. The problem here is not dialogue. It is monologue.

And here’s a secret: Rednecks come in many colors and don’t need to be ashamed of it.

White privilege = white competency

We’ve built the best system on the planet, and people envy it and want to come here. I won’t have it be torn down by a bunch of cultural Marxists without a fight.

In contrast to most failed state sh*tholes on the planet run by blacks. I think white Americans died in vain during the Civil War and Lincoln’s decision with freed slaves has led to this. The good news is that Liberia (the country of freed slaves) is available for those discontented with America.

The forgot a couple of categories: home invasions, car jackings, liquor store robberies, murder, bank robberies. Maybe adding those categories would even out the ratios?
