About 2,000 Seattle educators wore Black Lives Matter shirts at their schools Wednesday to call for racial equity in education.
Schools across the district held “Black Lives Matter at School” rallies before classes began for the day. Students, parents and teachers also wore stickers and buttons emblazoned with the “Black Lives Matter” slogan.
The purpose of the day was to affirm that “black lives matter in the public schools,” according to organizers, who are members of Social Equality Educators, a group of educators within the Seattle teachers union. Teachers also wanted to show their support for John Muir Elementary, which had its “Black Men Uniting to Change the Narrative” event canceled last month after receiving a threat over teachers’ plans to wear Black Lives Matter shirts.
Before school started Wednesday at Chief Sealth International High School, dozens of educators and students gathered outside the building and held up banners and signs.
About 60 Chief Sealth educators had ordered the shirts beforehand. Some of the shirts said “Black Lives Matter” and “#sayhername,” a reference to Sandra Bland, a black woman who died in police custody in Texas. Those shirts had an image of a fist. Others wore shirts that said “Black Lives Matter” and “We Stand Together” with an image of a tree.
Teacher Diana Romero said she decided to wear a shirt “to support our black brothers and sisters in support for justice.” As a Latina, she said she has seen firsthand the unfair treatment of people of color by police officers.

What was this supposed to accomplish?
Indimidation.
Love the blue sign in the picture — “Racism isn’t born, it’s taught”
And the public schools are doing the best they can to be divisive and to teach that one race is noble and good and that the white race is pure evil.
Do these useful idiots know what BLM actually do to their communities? Obviously not. Mush for brains. I bet there are no IQs above 80 anywhere in those classrooms including the teachers.

So these teachers have not been doing their jobs until now?
They have been teaching different races differently? They should be arrested.
“2,000 Useful Idiots, and counting”
Sounds like racial discrimination to me!!
Someone should file suit and ask for damages from their union.
Disgusting.
“2,000 Useful Idiots, and counting”
correction
“2,000 Useless Idiots, and counting”
see what we have to put up with in Seattle.
And then there are school bond votes every election day - where there need more $s to handle less kids.
Your oh so corrupt teachers union at work to continue their f’ed up agenda.
This is just a dumbass Georgia Country Boy’s question, but are there even 2000 black students in Seattle?
Racism is an opinion formed by observation of common experiences with people sharing the same traits over an extended period of time (often years) and noticing said behavior as being common and unique to that group. So no, idiots it's not taught, it's noticed through observation. Learn to think on your own instead of being programmed parrots.

Racism
Racists.
I like the top picture. They had that one posed quite well, with every culture and color represented.
So...we have Muslims in their garb teaching these children...what exactly?
Pathetic
Fire their asses.
Yet another example of LIB asshat “educators” abusing the naive and vulnerable children entrusted to them. Someone should report these unprofessional abusers to the division of family and child protective services. Disgusting racist fascists!
