[Madison, Wisc...] The city of Madison hosted the 15th annual national White Privilege Conference last week at the Monona Terrace to discuss issues of white supremacy, social justice, education and the Tea Party. The MacIver Institute attended multiple breakout sessions and will be releasing our highlights over the next couple days.
Our first account comes from the breakout session titled Stories from the front lines of education: Confessions of a white, high school English teacher.
The session was facilitated by Kim Radersma, a former high school English teacher in California and Colorado. Radersma is currently working toward her Ph. D. in critical whiteness studies at Brock University in Ontario, Canada.
Ph. D. in Critical Whiteness Studies, Who Knew?
Kim Radersma:
"Being a white person who does anti-racist work is like being an alcoholic. I will never be recovered by my alcoholism, to use the metaphor," Radersma said. "I have to everyday wake up and acknowledge that I am so deeply imbedded with racist thoughts and notions and actions in my body that I have to choose everyday to do anti-racist work and think in an anti-racist way."
Isn’t is even more racist to say someone can’t learn based on their DNA? Or to give them an excuse not to learn based on the “relative value” of their own culture compared to other more successful cultures....
The “Church of Eternal Liberal White Guilt”
I see a lot of white faces...
Use texts translated into Ebonics?
Forgot the excerpt button.
Mostly white folks in the photo. Tools.
We can start with the issue of white supremacy by exposing this topic for the collectivist, vengeful poison that it is.
Then we can call out to the urban populace to re-acquire the model of the responsible, wise nuclear family.
And quit sending the kids to public schools, for cryin out loud.
You could institute Common Core, where instead of trying to teach the dumb kids to make them as smart as the smart kids, you just make mandatory lessons so irrational and baffling that the smart kids give up and become as stupid as the dumb kids.
White liberals are the stupidest people on the face of the planet.
They be having a translator to translate everything into Ebonics, you know?
“What Can Educators do to End White Supremacy in the Classroom?”
Let’s start by lowing our standards...Why should we hold students to the exact same standards when we can just lower our standards for everyone.
Success is overrated anyway. Hard work, dedication, and commitment are all outdated ideas. Besides, there is way more than enough room in your parents basement for you and your family too.
Useful Idiots on the march again.
Sad misguided tools.
While they are at it:
End African supremacy on the basketball court.
End Asian supremacy in spelling bees.
End Iberian supremacy in soccer.
Because the blacks generally don’t value an education?
I’ve got an idea how to end racism in the classroom.
Take all these self admitted racist and fire their goat smelling butts.
Dang it, I hate April Fool's threads.
Wait, this is real?
The entire "whiteness" push is nothing more than a fad consisting of reconstituted racist garbage wrapped in a threadbare covering of academic pretension. Fortunately no intelligent human being takes it seriously.
