Glad I never went to HS in Philly!

” We were taught—yet again, through bullets and teargas—what it means to be black in this country. “
It means admission and tuition assistance to elite colleges.
It means a job in the public sector-—even if you are a low scorer in the exam.
It means you cannot be criticized-——ever.
.
That until Blacks take over everything by force...any crime is justified and and all white cops are sons of Hitler.
If I had to educate my kids again, they would never get near a liberal-infested government school.
I’ll bet you a buck she has a queen of spades tattoo somewhere.
All that matters today is color of skin, not content of character.
Quoting that commie rag, new republic is exactly what you’d expect. The commie outlook. No surprises here.
Picture’s worth a thousand words
I stopped reading this crap after the first two lines.
“Andrew Wilkins, another of my school’s young alumni, said: “To this day, I am confused as to what type of emotions this course intended to arise from its students.””
Arise from? I read that and instantly thought back to when I was in grad school. The program I was in had a token black student. Sorry, if that sounds racist, but it’s true. That student gave me a chapter of his dissertation to read over. It read as if someone who was half educated wrote it. Just think of this and you’ll get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Izpa9D7c77U
Black history month is now a 1 year mandatory HS course.
...and I’d like to know what they’re learning in the union hall too.....
Police misconduct is color blind.
Nothing helps race relations like putting down a bunch of white kids in front of a bunch of black kids.
I scanned through Ms. White-Guilt’s near-endless essay in self-congratulation without discovering anything the students have learned or do that might be “useful”.
Racial victim-consciousness. Check.
Marxist critique. Check.
Spoken poetry. (Rap lyrics?) Check.
White privilege guilt trip? Check.
“Educators” like this are determined to inculcate a sense of grievance in kids who missed past racism, and teach them to see injustice in every aspect of their lives. Is this fair to kids who might otherwise perceive themselves as winners? Does it lower someone’s self-esteem to identify themselves with helpless victims of the middle passage, slavery, Jim Crow, etc.? Do kids end up feeling guilty if they don’t spend every waking moment conscious of race race race? The purpose in all this seems to be to encourage anger, not understanding.
The lesson we learned is that yes, black males do rob convenience stores and rough up, or kill, the workers there. Yes, they do fight with the cops and yes they and the cops too get killed. And we also learned what a dumba$$ this woman is who wrote this blog.
