Being a teacher means instilling a lifelong love of learning in students and providing them with the tools and support they need, and it also means advocating for students, public education, and our profession. The NEA’s recent “Black Student Leader Day” was all about exposing aspiring educators to lobbying as well as grassroots organizing for racial and social justice.
This kind of outreach to aspiring African American teachers is essential at a time when the number of black teachers is declining.

That’s Racist!
Evidence suggests otherwise.
Who gives a damn what ‘ color ‘ they are - can they do the job
well?!
That’s all that matters!
So damned tired of this BS.
Probably thinks about gender too
I am so sick of this race obsessed garbage.
“....they have completely turned MLKjrs dream around backwards.”
And the Free Speech movement at Berkeley, mainly but not just alone by the left, I a distant memory.
Truth is paramount! All of the above colors have committed great sins of slavery.
In Nigeria I worked out of the oil center of Escravos. That is the Portuguese name for slave. The Portuguese slavers and English slavers and Dutch slavers did not go to Escravos and hunt down slaves. The slaves were there ready to be sold by black slavers of Nigeria. Albeit there was no Nigerian Nation at the time but only local tribes that captured other tribes and enslaved them for sale to the white slavers. The tradition of slavery was in Africa long before the white man every set foot on West Africa.
When I worked out of Escravos one of the things that were sold in the market were very old gin bottles from England. These bottles were trade goods full of gin. They were used in the slave trade. I did buy some ivory probably illegal ivory but I did not buy the gin bottles. That would be wrong. Slavery is evil in the extreme. The real history of slavery must be told so it never happens again. Most unfortunately it still exists in Africa and the Middle East. I have been there worked there and lived there. It is real.
Oddly for slavery to exist is the necessity of a society to accept that this is normal and that includes those that are enslaved. Otherwise the slaves would kill their masters.
Teachers of the color white are also fundamental to our nation’s success
It was an intense college course on a nearly scientific level about; chromatic greys, neutral grey, hue, saturation, lightness, complementary colors, contrast, tint, tone, shade, discords, value, primary, secondary and tertiary color, limited palettes, symbolic association, color relationship, human interpretation, temperature, intensity, and mixing ratios.
She worked us like a drill instructor and what I learned in her class has been surprisingly useful throughout my life, even outside of my art and photographic experience.
Even though the entire course was about color, not once did she ever bring up race.
Thoughts From The Short Bus
There are colors that we humans don’t even know about that only animals can see, insects, butterflies specifically.
This helps them discriminate among different plants they want to tap. So bugs are bigger racists than we are.
Really makes you think huh? I saw a beautiful pure white butterfly fluttering about this morning. Figured it must be either enjoying the beautiful day or maybe looking for something to eat.
Well, it was the latter. It landed on a big pile of dog turds and started climbing all over them, really chowing down.
I’ll never feel the same way after today about butterflies.
Principals of color, hired with affirmative action policy, set back education in the ‘hood centuries.
Had a similar change of en’deer’ment after seeing a doe using her tongue as toilet paper on each of her two fawns. Didn't know THAT was in the job description.
Yep. Unfortunately the push for more black (and Hispanic) teachers in areas with significant black (and Hispanic) populations has led to an even lower standards and quality of teaching.
No - teachers with values, their own education, and the desire to teach instead of indoctrinate are the ones that are fundamental to our nation’s success - doesn’t matter what color/race/sex they are (as long as it’s one of the 2 sexes God created).
Was there a previous standard of excellence that wasn’t lowered to accommodate them?
I wonder if Joe Clark is one of those “Teachers of Color” they are thinking about?
I want smart and educated teachers, not 65 IQ uneducated racist bigots.
Competent teachers? No.
Teachers that can effectively communicate information related to the subject? Never!
