Teacher calls Govs. Bush racists
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — At an Education Department seminar on promoting diversity, a former teacher described Govs. George W. and Jeb Bush as racists, department officials have acknowledged. At least one House lawmaker wants an explanation.
Jane Elliot, an author who delivers lectures worldwide on race and bias issues, was invited to the department March 8 to deliver a presentation on how children become prejudiced.
During the presentation, she also advised about 50 employees who attended not to vote for Republican political candidates, department officials said Wednesday.
The Bushes are Republicans. George W. Bush is the governor of Texas and a candidate for president. His brother, Jeb, is governor of Florida. Their father is former President Bush.
Erica Lepping, a spokeswoman for Education Secretary Richard Riley, said Wednesday that the context of Elliot's remarks about the Bush brothers and GOP candidates was unclear.
``We had no reason to believe Ms. Elliot's presentation would end up with her saying the things she did,'' Lepping said. ``The comments were spontaneous and unanticipated.''
Lepping, who did not attend the meeting, said Leslie Thornton, the department's chief of staff, immediately sent an e-mail memo to staffers denouncing Elliot's political statements as ``comments that were inappropriate in an address to federal employees.''
Elliot could not be reached for comment Wednesday. She is a former third-grade teacher from Iowa and creator of a well-known diversity lesson that separates students based on eye color.
Elliot received about $7,500 from the department for participating in its speaker's series on diversity, Lepping said.
``We certainly don't endorse the comments and they don't reflect our views,'' said Lepping.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., a member of the House Education and Workforce Committee, criticized the seminar as another example of mismanagement at the department. He said Wednesday he had sent the department a letter seeking more details on Elliot's talk.
``I want a full explanation from the department about this seminar and what they are doing to ensure that this sort of thing does not happen again,'' Hoekstra said.
There was no immediate comment from representatives of George W. Bush.
Justin Sayfie, a spokesman for Jeb Bush, said the governor's ``record on diversity and inclusion in office speaks for itself. As far as the specific allegation, if it actually took place, it is absurd.''
"Say what you will, it means nothing,totally empty and nothing more than an insult to the will of the AMERICAN peoples already beset with trouble.May their hearts not be further burdened by such arrogance. May they be less deceived by your foolishness."
She’s taken her roadshow to Australia (“If I asked you to name ten aboriginals who made valuable contributions to the history of this country, how many of you could do it? If I asked you to name ten white males who made valuable contributions to the history of this country, how many of you could do it? That's called racism, people.”—J.

“The Americans had negro officers, but they handled negro troops. Sometimes it was suggested to me that Australia should have its own Aboriginal battalion. I'm dead against the idea … it would mean a line of demarcation - a separateness. They would be treated as something apart, and that would be bad.” - Reg Saunders
