This “teacher”, along with other such idiots populating the ranks of our public school teachers, has no idea of the degree of his willful ignorance and he had no idea of the damage he is doing to his charges. He’s crippling those young minds and filling them with the idea that they are victims and nothing more.
And he does this while playing the role of the noble white man “helping” the downtrodden black community. A community he is helping to damn to a lifetime of self-imposed isolation and unwillingness to accept responsibility.
He might be a bit on the Rachel Corrie side. A self appointed do gooder, and when the down trodden, disenfranchised masses rise up, he will be the first one lined up against the wall. Would that be called karma?
His lesson plan should have included the topic of “poor choices, poor life.” What you do matters to the kind of person you will become and the opportunities that will open up to you.
Too bad that these minority children are enabled in their dysfunctional life styles. But there is a model for the other way of growing up:
What do you call a poor black boy raised in a Detroit ghetto by a single mother who can’t read?
