Proposed bill tackles racism in the classroom by providing diversity officer for each Texas school district
kxan ^ | Mar. 18, 2021 | Alex Caprariello

A former public school teacher and current Texas lawmaker has introduced a bill that would require a diversity, equity and inclusion officer in all large, urban public school systems.

Rep. James Talarico, author of HB 4111, said this action plan might eliminate hate in schools and prevent a tragedy like the one experienced in Atlanta earlier this week...

Talarico pointed to statewide statistics as proof of its necessity. According to Texas Education Agency demographics from the 2019-20 school year, approximately 73% of all public school students were non-white. More than 50% were Hispanic. Talarico said failing to recognize this diversity is a disservice to each child and who they truly are.

Hmm, seems if there is any racism it would be from the Hispanics since they are by far the majority.

Ah, Atlanta. It doesn't matter how many times the shooter says it wasn't a hate crime.

A diversity, equity and inclusion officer.

I’m white, male, heterosexual and Christian. Will I be denied a chance at the job because of my color, sex, orientation and religion?

No, no, no, only Whites can be razzist.

We should be chanting this on command by now.

Following the Constitution might promote Personal Liberty.

Better to put a Constitutional Officer in the schools.

How about some “Treat them all like Americans” officers instead?

That statement is what we should be discussing.

Because it means the end of our culture.

Males like Sergeant Schultz on Hogan’s Heroes.

Females like any Karen you see every day.

All diversity equity compliance papers must be in order. No exceptions.

Parents like Angela Christy-Androh are welcome to the idea. She has three biracial children of different ages. She says they frequently come home upset after hearing their peers use derogatory and racist remarks against them

The solution used to involve a little push-back against the bullies.

Now we have wilting wallflowers, 12 year olds suing each other and un-elected Political Officer bureaucrats being handed authority equal to laws.

How about placing God in His Rightful Place in the schools. . . Head Administrator. He is in charge of everyone’s next breath anyway.

“Will I be denied a chance at the job because of my color, sex, orientation and religion?”

In the late nineties I had an astonishingly diverse department; several nationalities of Asians, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, a Russian, but no blacks. I was told we had to hire a black. I said we were as diversified as you could get. The HR guy rolled his eyes at me and said, “For God’s sake. They don’t count. Only blacks count.” I said, “Fine. Get me a qualified candidate.” I was told, you’ve interviewed six. Pick one. I said, This is test station design. That’s very specialized. You’ve given me people who have zero design experience. I was told, if you don’t pick one. I will.

I had several qualified candidates I had found, but they were all white. We ended up hiring a black who sucked the budget dry for no gain. We ended up splitting the design amongst the most senior (white) people in addition to their regular job. We were late. We were over budget and it cost the company a lot of money. They didn’t care because they had their decorative “highly compensated” black. Yeah, that’s right. According to the EEOC, they not only have to be black, but they must be highly compensated as well. Man, did THAT generate anger. Several people I could not give raises to because of this useless hire, who deserved it, left. And, that hurt the company even more.

Yeah. Being white counts against you. If you’re a heterosexual Christian, for God’s sake, don’t let it be known.

Is there a problem in ‘large urbanTexas schools’ with sex-addicted students/teacher committing violence against Asian sex workers (or employees of ‘spas’ as the Daily Mail described the businesses)?

The Soviet education model is tried and true...

It was also a key factor here in the U.S. in the communists long march to the final victory they have now achieved...
Today’s extremely low IQ sheeple are docile, pliant, and afraid of their own shadow...

Yes indeed, the Soviet model is tried & true...
It will take several centuries to undo it without violence...
