The Guilford County Schools invited the public to attend an anti-racism workshop held for teachers, parents and community leaders last week, but refused to allow a reporter to stay in the room once he was identified as such.
In fact, Crossroads Ministry, who held the seminar, has such clout that the second day, a reporter was thrown out after Guilford County School Superintendent Terry Grier had given permission for him to attend.
The participant manual used by Crossroads Ministry is not only outdated, talking about understanding racism in the 1990s, but it also contains some pretty strong statements regarding racism and white people, such as, “Racism is the collective actions of a dominant racial group,” and “Every system and every institution in the US was created originally and structured legally and intentionally to serve white people exclusively.”
Crossroads Ministry also identifies ways in which racism “misuses power,” some of which are “Racism’s power over People of Color,” and “Racism’s power to preserve and maintain power and privilege for white society.”
According to Crossroads, white people are the only ones capable of being racist, which sounds pretty racist in its own right.
At one point during the workshop on Friday, the participants were placed in different rooms according to skin color – all the white people in one room and all the non-whites in another.
Rev. Charles Ruehle, executive co-director of Crossroads Ministry, who is white, met with the white participants and introduced them to “internalized racial superiority,” defined as a “process that teaches White people to believe, accept and/or live out superior societal definitions of self and to fit into and live out superior societal roles.” The ultimate outcome of this is, according to Ruehle, “white supremacy.”

Maybe, one day, they'll find time to teach the kids how to read.

Hmm... Says at the website: all the rumors fit to print. This is a parody, right?
“We’re creating an open environment where the teachers feel free to express their points of view,”
But not open enough to allow a reporter to sit in.......even though it is publicly funded.
“We’re creating an open environment where the teachers feel free to express their points of view,”
No, you're creating a closed environment so the racist nature of this program will not come under scrutiny. It also helps squelch the possibility of anyone publicizing the many teachers' extreme dissatisfaction at being subject to such indoctrination.
The left is full of contradictions. They talk about racial harmony but they separate people by race. The call public meetings but exclude reporters.
Oh, a troublemaker, eh?......: )
BTTT
Okay. I went to the website "crossroads ministry". Blech. What I'm asking is, is RHINO news legitimate? Meaning, the tagline on the front page of their site has thrown me: "All the rumors fit to print". Did this event at a school happen, actually. Has it been sourced and verified?
No matter how you cut the mustard, these people are racialist hucksters like Sharpeton and Jackson and its incredible that the schools are providing them a forum.
I take that back, its NOT incredible, its typical and most comprehensible. The educational institutions in this Country are run by a bunch of slimy, anti-white, anti-western historical reconstructionists to whom veracity takes a second place to mass propaganda.
The Rhino is the best little paper in NC. A conservative weekly that continuously exposes underhanded dealings and other schennanigans of elected officals, no matter what political affiliation.
Just seems like it's always the democrats that are taking a pounding though.
Sunshine laws?
He didn't care for me much after that and he was the head of the Social Work department!!! UGH! (not good for me!)
Sunshine laws? I got a better argument than can stop these workshops cold. What about the fact than explicitly religious organization with a single point of view is forcing teachers into mandatory workshops in the public schools? Isn't this supposed to be illegal?
