This approach should finish the Texas public school system. Thousands of parents in the white community are sending their
children to private schools, or if they can’t afford that, they are homeschooling them.
There will be no stomach for property tax payers to finance this sinking ship.
Train them to be racists early and when they grow up, they won’t depart from it.
Teaching is more an art than a discipline. Forcing people to study education in college and then go into a thankless job as a public school educator is bad enough; forcing minorities who don’t care about education to study education in college and then go into a thankless job as a public school educator is criminal! We would be doing a disservice to the kids by forcing people who don’t want to teach into teaching through enticement (scholarships, “minority” grants). The kids deserve passionate (non-sexual) educators to inspire them. I was blessed to have passionate educators, and I learned a lot on my own through the public school system.
The Dallas News, AP, and Ed Fuller ( the UT egghead) are RACISTS!!! They are essentially saying that blacks and Hispanics are too stupid and too ethnically delicate to learn from white teachers.

The whole ‘we need to pair students with teachers who look the same’ is the very definition of RACISM. These so-called ‘intellectuals’ are saying that black or hispanic students are incapable of learning unless taught by a black or hispanic teacher? So let me ask, what was the whole point of desegregating schools, if this is what’s required for minority students to succeed. These people are idiots. One of my absolute favorite teachers of all times when I was in school was Mrs. Jameson, a black woman. She didn’t preach, she taught, and she didn’t play favorites with anyone, and helped everyone, and we all (whites, blacks, hispanics) loved her.
Why stop at separate black and white classroom? Let’s take it a step further; how about separate black and white schools? Oh wait... that might be illegal...
How is it going to benefit students to stick them with teachers of their own race/ethnicity - don’t they need to learn to work with and respect other cultures/races? So now liberals just want to shelter them from whitey apparently - and screw whitey out of a job so they can hire more minorities. Afterall, it’s “For the Children!” doncha know???
And why won’t this apply to white kids as well (we all know it won’t).
I’ve gone through so much of this multicultural crap during my own education...all these people want to do is constantly talk about, and point out, how we are all different. How about focusing on how we are the same?
But what about "diversity"? If most of the students are black and Hispanic, shouldn't they bring in WHITE teachers in order to have "diversity"?
Imagine if a mostly white school had nonwhite teachers, and someone suggested that they should bring in white teachers to teach them; that somehow nonwhite teachers were inadequate to teach whites?
If they’re not the minority anymore, stop playing word games and just use the races you want. Directed at the media that writes this crap. I’m tired of seeing ‘white’ and ‘minorities’ as us vs them so often. Gets people killed, more than this week’s thing too. All the damn time.
Yeah let the Blame and hate continue from the home into the classroom.
What if the white teacher is multi-lingual, i.e. speaks English, Tex-Mex, and Ebonics?
I would argue that we should not allow teachers of any ethnicity teach classes to students who are primarily of their ethnicity.
Why? Simple... perhaps we can stop teachers from teaching such crap as ebonics, Black Liberation Theology, reconquista, etc.
It isn’t whiteys fault, the southwest doesn’t belong to Mexico, and clear, concise English helps you get ahead in the world. A basis in logic and critical thinking helps too....
Easy answers for the multiculturists are:
1. Promote minorities over whites regardless of capabilities and experience.
2. Hire minorities over white applicants without regard to capabilities or experience.
3. Reduce employment requirements to meet minority goals. If this means non-degree teachers, so be it.
You will soon have reached the goal of minority employment at levels near or exceeding their percentage of population.
I suspect you will also have a migration of white students (who would now be the minority) into private schools where parents are more concerned with education than diversity.
When I lived in Texas, one of my coworkers actually said this to me: “I’m so glad my daughter has a white teacher.” Did I mention that she was black?
What would they expect from a border state, where the conga-line of illegals is endless and supported by our own government....
