In their dress and behavior, or just in skin color?
I guess not many teachers drive their cars to school with the Big Rims, bass booming, and tats all over either. What a shame.
In a color blind society, why is there a problem with a “diversity gap”? What is wrong with minority students being taught by white teachers? Is there white math, black math, hispanic math, asian math, or even homosexual math????
is it a problem that almost 80% of NBA players are black, when blacks are only about 13% of America’s population????
I want liberals to tell us — exactly what are the criteria? Under what circumstances are we to be outraged that some ethnic/gender group or other is not fully represented in some field of endeavor, and under what circumstances do we ignore obvious misrepresentation????
I’m having a hard time understanding why this is a problem???
The real rub here is that these fools are trying to set the precedence that they get to define what diversity is. True racists. It will be based on skin color.
The Ass. Press doing a little racial profiling. Intelligence and knowledge should not be a qualification to be a teacher. It’s all about skin tone! ***holes!
So basically what they want is for blacks to become teachers without having to qualify like white teachers have to.
Oh dear God, not another liberal white guilt article from the obama ass-licking Ass Press...
Right on.
I used to teach at an all black HS in the South and this argument would frequently come up. One black assistant principal said that we should have more ‘ethnicity’ in our schools to promote a share cultural experience or some nonsense and a black teacher responded, “You know, and I know that all the black teachers are going to white schools because there’s less trouble and because they know these kids and don’t want to teach them!”
When I left the school for a mostly white school, that teacher was first to ask me to recommend her to the principal and she was quickly employed at the new school.
It takes a certain personality to get that higher education without the reward of high salaries. It requires altruism.
The only way to handle this properly is to encourage more white teachers to become transracials. As the white teachers slowly change to black they must be protected very carefully lest they become victims of racial discrimination from both sides. I'm not sure exactly how the transracial medical procedures work but we can ask Michael Jackson. Oh , wait. I guess we can't.
IT’S NOT FAIR !
If they were our schools would be even worse
When will we become colorblind?
So?
The word “diverse” pretty much means “we selected you for reasons other than talent.”
Admit it, libs, it’s the stink in your collective shorts.
Quick, somebody start up a government MANDATED AFFIRMITIVE ACTION PROGRAM
Isn't that why they're called "minorities?"
The unqualified teaching the uneducable.
