Some white students at a South Jersey Catholic school walked out of classes Tuesday in protest over a speech by the New Jersey Secretary of State Regina Thomas.

Tensions have been building up at Paul VI High School since Thomas' speech on racial justice last week.

"They don't know what it is like to open up your locker and see a KKK letter there. It's not the most comfortable feeling at all," said African-American student Kristen Minoh.


Maybe Kristen Minoh should do a research paper on the Klan..she would find out that the klan didn't just target blacks..it also targeted catholics as well.

NBC10 is very careful not to reproduce the Secretary's remarks in any of their on-line stories.

Nice to see the backlash of race-baiting even reported at all tho, times seem to be a-changin. Politicians who have ridden race-baiting politics into public office may start to see their tactics rejected, and it can't happen soon enough.

About the only racism going on anymore in America is that which is brought by immigrants and blacks against whites.

Yes, it's true!

It is oh so typical ... when I was in high school in the mid sixties, it was "the man keeps me down", if you rose above it all you were an "uncle Tom".
Same thing in college, mid seventies, black students received all the grant / scholarships I was eligible for plus those specifically for blacks, yet the cry I heard was "I am so oppressed".
OMG I actually though all this had changed .. what a dope I have been ... I am so sick of it ... I am sick of successful blacks bitching and moaning about how bad they have it.

Regina Thomas should learn some local history.

Cross the Delaware and you get the famous Anti-Catholic Kensington riots of 1844.

My grandfather has crosses burnt in his lawn during the 1920's for builing a Catholic Church in Sommers Point.

There is a long history of Anti-Catholic predudice in the area.

Local radio host Dom Giordano devoted the first hour of his show to the story last night, and many people who were there called in with details.

McCarthy went after people who were or had been Communists or "fellow travelers" who had supported Communist objectives without being party members...he went after people on the basis of things they had actually done or said. The new McCarthyism finds people guilty of racism merely because they were born white, or of sexism merely because they were born male.

Good for these students. They don't have to be called a racist by some troll.

This is what happens when you allow lay teachers and speakers into Catholic schools. I would have walked out as well.

Related story here from today, and another one from yesterday.

Similarly, no one has the courage to quote her actual speech.

An interviewed student knows someone who knows someone black who found a crumpled KKK letter in her locker! Well, of course. What did you expect?

Some students will take any opportunity to ditch, even a classmate's funeral. In this case I think they're justified: would we have heard the story otherwise? Students and parents should dish all their school's PC dirt, early and often.

So where can I find a transcript of Regina Thomas's speech already?

My son goes there, he was part of the freshman class and sophmore class gathering that was in the auditorium to hear the speech.

They (the students) are really upset that they have not received an apology (DIRECTLY) for the incident.

It's made Drudge's headlines today as well.

The articles never tell us exactly what this woman said. It must have really been bad.

Same thing in college, mid seventies, black students received all the grant / scholarships I was eligible for plus those specifically for blacks, yet the cry I heard was "I am so oppressed".

Same time I applied at the Post Office.

I was told "minorities" HAD to be hired first, WITHOUT taking the Civil Service exams; and if any positions were then unfilled, I could compete via exam.

In fact, the minorities got extra preference if they were (or claimed to be) illiterate.

Same time my wife applied for a job, and was told they had to give hiring preference to minorities. Flat told her that she was not Hispanic, black, etc, then asked her if she belonged to any other minority. She told them, "Yes; short, blonde, college educated, white Irish Catholic female; they don't make very many smaller minorities!" Naturally, she was told that didn't count.

Same time it was called "racist" to complain about such racist policies.

Another example of someone educated beyonf her intelligence, then gaining public office. A professional racist jerk.

There should be a common-sense test for political office.
