FERGUSON, Mo. – Activist teachers are already spinning yarns in their classrooms to score political points in the shooting death of Ferguson, Missouri teen Michael Brown.

Ferguson BostonThe unidentified Selma, Alabama teacher who was suspended for having students reenact the shooting isn’t the only one.

Mike Kaechele, a Grand Rapids, Michigan teacher says the incident, as well as resulting looting and rioting, are a good reminder that “institutional racism has always been” in America...

They need white guilt to keep the cash pouring into the coffers to support people that won’t work and will still hate you. That is what these leftist teachers and the unions are promoting and we won’t see any change until we end tenure and get the unions out of the classrooms.

the amount of open racism coming out is stunning.

While the left wants to keep harping on about military cops to divert attention away from the robbery, assaults , and rioting the real issues are being ignored.
Stuff like racism crime, lack of parenting in the black community, and it doesn;t help when liberals, the left, Dems get on places like FOX or even sites like this trying to divert attention away from the real issues or make excuses for many in the black community

Oh wow, well this is interesting. It seems the person who posted that on Facebook is a cop and he is in a lot of trouble. BUT they don’t say if this particular photo is fake. It seems what they are implying is that the cop identified the person with the gun in this photo as Mike Brown and I guess they are saying it is not? Sure looks like him...

Alright I see what happened now, that is not Michael Brown. The cop was trying to pull a fast one. This is the guy in the photo, Joda Cain who killed his grandmother. Stupid cop, what the hell was he trying to do? Yeah give more ammunition to the left, brilliant idea.

Yep we don’t need another Mark Fuhrman. He was the sole reason OJ was not found guilty.

Yeah, because the Founders were all about free s#it

(rolls eyes)

Our children are being fed a steady diet of White Privilege lessons and Critical Race Theory assignments

I got into it yesterday with a bunch of folks commenting on a Jesse Jackson article. They asked me if I knew what 'White Privilege' was, so I defined it for them - an imaginary concept constructed by progressive people of color in order to guilt white people into agreeing with them.

Needless to say - I was NOT popular there. LOL!

OK Freepers,

Have at it:

The teacher offered several questions to be asked, including:

From the picture below:


*What are the similarities between the events?
*Why did the people in Boston dress up as Native Americans?
*What stereotypes does that show?
*What is institutional racism and how should it be addressed?
*Why is the image on the right called a “party”?
*The event on the right has been mythologized and treated as action by heroes. Do you think the event on the left will be?

So the Boston Tea Party was the act of breaking into the ship’s hold to destroy the shipment of tea that was taxed without the benefit of colonial representation, and the lock that was damaged in the act was replace with a new one. Sure, that’s just like looting the wares of local merchants and destroying their buildings because the police shot one of your thugs while being attacked.

Hmmm, I’ll try.

*What are the similarities between the events?

- One group is stealing for personal use, the other is destroying to protest a recently implemented government taxation policy. A policy which was imposed without the consent of the governed in violation of English Parliamentary rules regarding colonies.

*Why did the people in Boston dress up as Native Americans?

- To punctuate their rejection of English political authority and disassociation with same.

*What stereotypes does that show?

- That Native Americans were not subjects of the Crown.

*What is institutional racism and how should it be addressed?

- The institution racism was that Native Americans were not English subjects but Colonials were and they disproportionately bore the yolk of English rule. Solution: Revolution and independence from England.

*Why is the image on the right called a “party”?

- It was a celebration of the forceful rejection of English taxation and import controls.

*The event on the right has been mythologized and treated as action by heroes. Do you think the event on the left will be?

- No. It was thievery for personal consumption in no way comparable to the Boston Tea Party. It was not representative or reparative of government political, taxation and import policies.

Something seemed fishy. You might want to PM the Mods and have them take down that pic. Kinda makes FR look bad.
