Portland begins anti-racist teacher training, source says [barf alert]
Fox News ^ | 6/29/2021 | Dan Springer

Internal Portland Public Schools documents provided to Fox News by a whistleblower show the district’s mandatory cultural competency teacher training is heavily steeped in Critical Race Theory with an emphasis on creating activists.

Among the material being shown to students in third through fifth grades is an interview clip of author Sonya Renee Taylor saying, "Our society speaks racism. It has spoken racism since we were born. Of course you are a racist, of course."

Another video being shown to kids as young as 8 years old features an actor reading from the book "Anti-Racist Baby," written by Ibram X. Kendi, in which he says, "Anti-racist baby is bred, not born." Kendi also wrote the book "How to Be an Antiracist."

In September, a training session for teachers at Forest Park Elementary in Portland turned nasty after a White teacher questioned the accuracy and wisdom of linking the trait perfectionism with white supremacy. According to two sources in attendance, the meeting leader used her 90 seconds to berate the White teacher repeatedly and in a raised voice saying she made her feel unsafe.

The recipient of the verbal attack, who doesn’t want her name used out of fear of retaliation, was instructed to remain silent. The White teacher, who claims the two colleagues only had one brief interaction before the meeting, says the equity leader was hysterical, "I made her feel unsafe. She kept going on and on. I was dumbfounded. I felt like it was unfair. I couldn’t defend myself."

The teacher believes she was a victim of bullying under the Portland Public Schools definition, (snip)

Portland Public Schools officials and the Oregon Education Association refused to respond to Fox News' numerous inquiries.

This announcement may well send the remaining three sane families in town, out of town. Democrats may well dream of converting us all into serfs, chained to the land, so that we cannot leave their misrule. But it hasn’t worked yet. And the reasons for staying dwindle to “I can’t afford to move.” When this goes away, the remainder may well be classified as refugees.

It's going to keep getting worse. The "race gap" in educational performance will never disappear, no matter what they try. They will get increasingly hysterical about pervasive and covert white supremacy, because they can never allow anyone to point out the real cause of the gap.

So how many white teachers and school administrators are willing to give up their jobs to a person of color?

“I’ve been fed up with all this black black black stuff for quite a while now.”

So am I.

What makes living in Oregon so infuriating, is blacks are maybe 2% of the population.

The people promoting this nonsense are liberal college educated whites. Their pandering doesn’t have any limits, as long as women and minority grievance groups receive their preferential treatment.

Let me guess, “anti-racist training” teaches that all problems are caused by white people. Right?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
