His letter of apology.

An elementary school principal in the Denver suburbs told parents that white children would be excluded from an after-school tutoring initiative.
Andre C. Pearson, the principal at Mission Viejo Elementary in Aurora, Colorado sent letters home to parents informing them that only students of color are eligible for the program, KJCT, the local ABC affiliate, reports.
Some shocked parents have alleged discrimination and segregation, reports CBS Denver.
“I was infuriated,” one parent, Nicole Cox, told CBS Denver. “I didn’t understand why they would include or exclude certain groups.”
“We have come so far in all of these years to show everybody that everyone is equal, that everyone should be treated equally,” Cox added.
Cox is white. She has a 10-year-old daughter at the school, and she wants her daughter to have tutoring.

Don’t recall the name but it was a black-”freeman” immigrant for Africa.
Tell Ivan he can buy vodka for the house!
This whole situation is rather confusing. In reading about it yesterday, it appears the school board had nothing to do with it and actually stepped in an over—rode the principal who did this. In another article, it indicated the tutoring group had been started by a number of parents. So at this point - who knows exactly what is going on.
Maybe the white students and parents should demand, then, that none of the tutors will be white.
Let’s see how many they’ll get.

I see that contemptible look on Mooshelle’s face more and more. What a racist POS. Whether rolling her eyes at the Speaker of the House, to her arrogant superiority in every meeting with people she is NOT the president over, she is beyond disgusting.
“50 Russian Rubles to the first person who tells me who owned the First Documented Slave in the Atlantic Colonies.”
Anthony Johnson:
“Prior to 1655 there were no legal slaves in the colonies, only indentured servants. All masters were required to free their servants after their time was up. Seven years was the limit that an indentured servant could be held. Upon their release they were granted 50 acres of land. This included any Negro purchased from slave traders. Negros were also granted 50 acres upon their release.
Anthony Johnson was a Negro from modern-day Angola. He was brought to the US to work on a tobacco farm in 1619. In 1622 he was almost killed when Powhatan Indians attacked the farm. 52 out of 57 people on the farm perished in the attack. He married a female black servant while working on the farm.
When Anthony was released he was legally recognized as a “free Negro” and ran a successful farm. In 1651 he held 250 acres and five black indentured servants. In 1654, it was time for Anthony to release John Casor, a black indentured servant. Instead Anthony told Casor he was extending his time. Casor left and became employed by the free white man Robert Parker.
Anthony Johnson sued Robert Parker in the Northampton Court in 1654. In 1655, the court ruled that Anthony Johnson could hold John Casor indefinitely. The court gave judicial sanction for blacks to own slave of their own race. Thus Casor became the first permanent slave and Johnson the first slave owner.
Whites still could not legally hold a black servant as an indefinite slave until 1670. In that year, the colonial assembly passed legislation permitting free whites, blacks, and Indians the right to own blacks as slaves.
By 1699, the number of free blacks prompted fears of a “Negro insurrection.” Virginia Colonial ordered the repatriation of freed blacks back to Africa. Many blacks sold themselves to white masters so they would not have to go to Africa. This was the first effort to gently repatriate free blacks back to Africa. The modern nations of Sierra Leone and Liberia both originated as colonies of repatriated former black slaves.
However, black slave owners continued to thrive in the United States.
By 1830 there were 3,775 black families living in the South who owned black slaves. By 1860 there were about 3,000 slaves owned by black households in the city of New Orleans alone.”
Maybe the whites pull theirchildren out of the scholl and start home scholling them and let the public schools collapse. Amazing how far the race baiters have come!
Tell me again why I don’t need an AR?
only students of color are eligible
Last time I checked white is a color.
I believe that he, like a lot of whites who came here early on, was bond servant whose debt or some obligation was sold to someone for a period of time. After a period of years the bond was considered to be paid and the person was free of their committment. A lot of people white and black came here under those conditions in the early years. There were a number of people on the Mayflower who were bond servants.
The Gates’ organization is private last time I checked. The story is about a public school.
Our local school district here on the central coast of California has:
Migrant Ed - no whites
Head Start - no whites
M.E.S.A. (Mathematics,Engineering,Science,Achievement)- no whites
That letter of apology is no apology. It’s crap.

Niko! Cousin How are you?!!? You win 50 Rubles, come. sit. drink!
FYI 50 Russian Rubles are wroth about a buck sixty six, image how little it could have been pre-ubama money!
This would go a long way to making the Denver school system rethink their policy.
The next time they ask for a property tax increment, make it a decrement.
