A cadre of newly hired teachers will report to city schools this week following orientation sessions where they were given a book that includes an essay titled “Dear White Teacher,” The Post has learned.

But unlike the Department of Education’s controversial “implicit bias” training — which, among other lessons, tells teachers that “racial equity” requires favoring black students over whites — the essay’s message is that white instructors should stop being afraid to discipline black students.

Looks like the usual collection of SJWs to me:

I wonder if someone in the “Rethinking Schools” group is a relative or babymama of someone high up in NYC schools’ admin.

Dear White Teacher, if you really want to teach, is this the only job you can find???

start looking elsewhere...

There aren’t enough nonwhite teachers to keep the system running for a single day if the white teachers quit.

I don't know about other parts of the country, but here in Los Angeles we only seem to comprise about 25% of the district's teachers. Most of LAUSD seems to be Hispanic. (Of course, whether or not a Hispanic is white depends on if they are being deported or shooting Trayvon, so... I dunno.)
