Omaha Schools Spend $130,000 in Stimulus Money to Buy 8,000 "Social Justice" Diversity Manuals
The Blaze ^ | July 12th | Jonathon M. Seidl

Posted on 07/15/2011 5:38:09 AM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

If I told you that your tax dollars (130,000 of them) went to buying a "diversity" manual that asserts the government and other institutions create advantages that "channel wealth and power to white people" and calls on educators to "take action for social justice," what would you do? And if I told you that such a manual was required staff reading in Omaha, NE schools, what would you say?

Don’t believe me? Read on to learn about "The Cultural Proficiency Journey: Moving Beyond Ethical Barriers Toward Profound School Change."

The book is a manifesto on cultural awareness. But what it calls for, some might say, is quite counter-cultural. The Omaha World-Herald details some of the work’s jaw-dropping statements.

I can't take it. I just can't take it. The amount of propaganda that these people on the left are funnelling into the school systems is reaching unprecedented rates.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say they were panicking.

We're onto them. And they know it.

Their own arrogance will be their downfall.

These “educators” should be embarrassed for abusing the children with their propaganda. Someone report these fools to the Child Protective Services. It seems “educators” are screwing our children both directly and directly nowadays.

History has shown that state sponsored racism is a very bad thing.

“Gunwalker” is the new Reichstag fire, and whites are the new Jews.

RE :"The book is a manifesto on cultural awareness. But what it calls for, some might say, is quite counter-cultural. The Omaha World-Herald details some of the work’s jaw-dropping statements. For example, the book includes a quiz that determines a teacher’s cultural proficiency. “Only those educators who acknowledge the existence of white privilege in America, that ‘white’ is a culture in America and that race ‘is a definer for social and economic status’ can reach proficiency,” the Herald notes. And those who don’t? They’re asked what they will do “to align yourself with the values expressed.

Between this and teaching 'Gay History' in CA schools (soon NY and MA) we are screwed.

Chapter 1 : 'Between whipping the slaves and beating up gays (any gay slaves??? ) George Washington founded this racist homophobic nation'

Dont forget the stimulus created or 'saved' 2M jobs.

Info on the book from Amazon.

I was curious aout the publisher, which is Corwin Press, which is an affiliate of Sage Publications.

Sage's management info here.

On Sage's head honcho....

Sara Miller McCune....

Sara Miller McCune, the founder, publisher and executive chairman of SAGE Publications, has defied the odds for 45 years to prevail as a woman and a private owner in a field dominated by men and mergers to become the grande dame of academic publishing and a philanthropic diva for education, social justice and the performing arts.

If I told you that it was not just the left but the right pushing “social justice” would you believe me?

If I told you many of the “evangelical” churches (catholic and prot), infiltrated by wolves in sheep's clothing, were pushing “social justice”, bought and paid for by US tax dollars, would you believe me?

If I told you there is an agenda to distract the so called “right” of all of this and to blame it on the “left” would you believe me?

They’ve been doing this crap for years. It reminds me of Mark Levin’s experience of finding boxes and boxes of “Rules for Radicals” in the office where he worked when he began working in the Reagan administration, left there by the Carter folks. These people have been pushing their destructive agenda for a very long time...reading “Witness” by Whittaker Chambers this year was a chilling eye-opener. And now they’ve really got their hands around the throat of this representative republic and are determined to kill it once and for all. It’s no coincidence that Alinsky’s book is dedicated to Lucifer.

I’m betting a lot of this is just funnelling money to the publisher and author of this crap

because they are some friend of the 0bama’s.

After checking out the companies involved, that’s what it looks like to me. Taxpayer money being used as the mother-of-all slush funds.

If folks aren't torqued off enough all ready, check this out, from Miller-McCune...

Run to government for help? Yeah, that'll work. How about, report them to the business end of a rope.
