High School Educator Teaches Class that Whites are Crushing Blacks with the "Boot of Racism"
The Social Memo ^ | 7/15/15 | Aurelius

Posted on 07/15/2015 12:12:34 PM PDT by rightistight

Jon Greenberg, an award-winning public high school teacher and writer, is teaching his classes that "whites" wear the "boot of racism" in the United States, and for that reason, it is up to white people to end racism in the US.

Writing for the website Citizenship and Social Justice, Mr. Greenberg outlined his ideas on teaching race in an article titled, "Curriculum for White Americans to Educate Themselves on Race and Racism–from Ferguson to Charleston."

When teaching his class, he tells them to "think of racism as a gigantic societal-sized boot." He then asks them several questions.

First, he asks, "Which groups do you think are fighting the hardest against this boot of racism?" Students, Greenberg writes, usually respond "people of color."

Then he asks, “If that’s true, then who do you think is wearing the boot?” Their response? "White people" (emphasis his).

Finally, if it is true that all white people are wearing this "boot of racism," he asks, "Then whose responsibility is it to stop the boot from squashing them? The people of Color already pushing upward and resisting the boot? Or the people wearing the boot–consciously or not–who contribute to a system that pushes downward?"

The correct answer is that "it’s time for White America to take on a far bigger role in taking off the boot."

He has it backwards. Blacks are crushing whites with their virulent racism that is manifested in epidemic black on white violent crime compared to the reverse. Whites grovel before the Race Card while blacks double down with their aggressive attacks. We truly are a “nation of cowards”.

Add “ocrats” in bloody lettering behind the DEAD and you’ve got something there.

jon greenburg should be fired immediately. Such PC LIB BS does not belong in the classroom. Many of these idiot “educators” would be tarred-and-feathered and run out of town. What a malignancy on society this fool is.

This nonsense won’t stop as long as we rely on government schools to “educate” our children.

Where are the Parents?

If my Kid came home and told me what was going on in that Class, I would be at the School the next morning to “discuss” with the so called Teacher the errors of his ways.

He would learn what White Privilege really means.

Slave-masters!

I am Asian and married to a Caucasian. And even my spouse can back me up about racism existing in America against Asians! I joined this site long time ago because I believe in traditional American value (God, liberty, family, hard-work, guns, capitalism, minimum government), but not racism!

You just proved racism exists. Please don’t slap your own face!
