High School Principal Excludes White Students From ‘Black Lives Matter’ Event

An Illinois high school principal is defending his decision to exclude white students from a “Black Lives Matter” event held at his school.

On February 27th, Oak Park and River Forest High School principal, Nathaniel Rouse, hosted a “Black Lives Matter” event exclusively for black students. The assembly was intended to culminate Black History Month with a discussion on race relations. Approximately 350 black individuals attended the event. When white students attempted to attend the assembly, however, they were denied entry.

Parents who were upset over the school’s decision to exclude non-black students from the event voiced their opinion to the Chicago Tribune. Rouse responded to the concerns of the parents by stating, “First and foremost, this is not meant to give a connotation that we were trying to be exclusive.”

In a statement on the Oak Park and River Forest High School website, the school addressed the controversy: “[S]ome students and parents expressed confusion and concern about the event being for Black students only. Information about the event lacked clarity about this aspect of the conversation, and the high school is committed to improving communications in the future. Further conversations among and across other racial affinity groups shall take place at the high school in the coming months and into next year.”

Rouse defended his decision to keep non-black students from the assembly by referring to the concept of “affinity groups.” According to the school’s statement, “Racial affinity groups are often used in learning communities to help facilitate positive identity exploration and provide people with similar experiences a space in which to pose questions and process topics.”

“According to Principal Rouse, the conversation was an opportunity for students who identify as Black to speak openly, honestly, and productively.”

Rouse told the Chicago Tribune affinity groups are helpful to discussions on race, as he “found it has been far easier for me to talk about my experiences with racism with individuals that look like me.” He added, “I still struggle myself with talking about my experiences with people who don’t look like me.”

Rouse hopes to host similar racial affinity group discussions in the future with different races, saying he believes “the affinity group is the safe way for us to move forward in a safe environment.”

No chance of ever seeing MSM employees talking about white lives matter, huh? Whites out number blacks by at least six-to-one yet blacks murder whites a more than two to one.

RE: race

If you are white in any city -- watch out!

It is long past the time when facts should be made public to expose the lies and misrepresentations of the Obama-Holder demagogues and the race-grievance industry.The Obama-Holder demagogues, the race-grievance industry, and most employees of the MSM have made this a racial issue. So let's see..

So adding up the blacks killed by whites (Col 1) and whites killed by blacks(col 2). Surprise. Whites out number blacks by at least six to one but..

col 1		Col 2
189		409
193		431
193		448
218		447
209		454
230		504
245		566
208		573
230		516
228		522
281		699
2424		5569

Of course MSM employees, the race grievance industry, and the Obama-Holder race demagogues don't think that black-on-anything crime -- including other blacks -- is a big enough deal to talk about. No money in that.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Since 90% of blacks killed in the US are killed by blacks, this makes sense.

Address the ‘low-hanging fruit” first.

[PCPOET7]

my cousin so is black but you would not realize it if he stood with his mom who is European white but if he stood with his dad you would think he was black. my personnel opinion is the principle should be fired very publicly by the school district. if a principle were to have white only assembly because it was white history month that principle would lose there job and never be allowed to work in the public school system ever again.

[driftless2]

We’re not being exclusive, but get the f... out of here whitey!

[baddog 219]

[dr_lew]

Next thing you know, they’ll be demanding they get their own “Blacks Only” water fountains

That was in Doonesbury in the 90's. "The kids want their own water fountain." was the line, I believe.

If whites had protested and refused to attend, they would have been compelled to do so.

[RginTN]

If whites held a whites only meeting to discuss racial discrimination towards Irish Catholics in the 1800’s and 1900s there would be no end to the shouts of racist towards the whites!

[Enterprise]

They had a word for this during the 50’s and 60’s. It was called segregation. It was supposed to be something very bad.

[Politicalkiddo]

Great way for white kids to sue and be able to afford college. :P

[Timber Rattler]

Racist.

[LowOiL]

Thank you... +1

[lowbridge]

In the interest of equal time, will he allow a whites only event at the school?

[lowbridge]

“Reverse Segregation. He can’t do that.”

He just did it.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Reverse racism is what the professions are teaching the new ones who come into the professions. Holding special events for Blacks and Hispanics, while blatantly excluding whites is what they learned in graduate school in their professions. For example, Institute forTeachers of Color, Conference for Librarians of Color, Lawyers of Color, and so on. What if a principal said that whites have an affinity for whites?

Unabashedly hiring on the basis of non-white skin color, not on the basis of being the best qualified is already old hat and no one complains.

The principal must be prosecuted.

[2ndDivisionVet]

The principal must be prosecuted promoted.

Fixed it, for the modern times we live in.

[kearnyirish2]

Maybe invite another “affinity group” like the Klan to speak to the WASP students...

[kearnyirish2]

The Klan itself couldn’t have planned it better; liberal leadership has handed the Klan what they could never have dreamed of achieving...

[kearnyirish2]

There is a growing scandal where “diploma mills” are being exposed for awarding additional degrees to public school teachers to drive up wages; in the end, if they are raking in $100K+ for 180 six and a half hour days of “work”, there will just be very few of them...

I would hate to be a non-black taxpayer ponying up the money for this nonsense.
