Officials at Manch Elementary School have launched an investigation into the unusual Black History Month lesson, which involved separating children by skin color and giving preferential treatment to black students. Well, the white children might as well get used to it. Black only scholarships, minority preferential admissions for colleges, higher starting salaries for minorities, minority only work/coop plans, preferential hiring (especially for government jobs), sad etc.

Sounds to me like the one needing the lesson was the Teacher. The kind of lesson taught a runaway slave in the 1840s.
Flog her.
What a maroon!

Remember the blue brown eye experiment from the sixties, or the eugenics lectures from the 1870's and 1880's.
Nothing new is under the sun, the strong will always try to impress their will upon the weak, strong in this case, somebody who can't do anything in life but teach hate.

Kids don't develop racial consciousness until fourth or fifth grade usually," he said. Actually, idiot parents and politically correct liberals teach kids racial "consciousness," not the kids themselves.

"Usually, they take the blue-eyed kids and treat them differently from the brown-eyed kids," said Orfield, Oh well, that's so much better. How about trying to just treat everyone the same, isn't that the point? Morons.
Garcia said this is Mazzulla's second year at the school near Nellis Air Force Base, but said she was prevented by state law from discussing much else about the librarian or the allegations lodged against her.
Oh-kay...?
The worst part of the incident, Gough said, is that her daughter has developed a skewed vision of what the color of someone's skin signifies.... "Now she's afraid that the black kids hate her for something she doesn't know anything about."
Yep -- exactly the intent. White kids made to feel guilty, black kids made to feel they're owed. This is so sad.
Orfield, the Harvard professor, said it would be a mistake to punish Mazzulla. "Let's not sanction the teacher for trying. Let's give her new skills for trying to do this in a better way," he said.
Infuriating.

The roots of this are in the class theory that was so popular in educational curricula in the 70's and 80's and still rears its ugly head now and then. What the children, both black and white, are being taught here is that responsibility for wrong devolves not upon the individual, or the individual's parents or real ancestors, or anyone who was actually involved in the wrong, but upon the group to which the individual belongs. Hence a white person who possesses impeccable anti-slavery credentials, say, a family member dead fighting the Civil war, or participating in the Underground Railroad, is still guilty by virtue of membership in the white class, and a black person who may be a direct relation of a slave-owning black citizen of the time is righteous by virtue of being a member of the black class.
This is pernicious, and is the sole and direct cause of the often-cited but little-understood "cycle of violence." It is precisely what the child meant when she said "for what your ancestors did to us," "us" here meaning not her, or her family, but her social class. And the lesson that particular child took away was that it was actually permissible to practice oppression if you are a member of the appropriate class. I doubt seriously if that's what Martin Luther King had in mind, but it certainly was what Marx did.

Usually the doofuses who want to do this exercise at least have the sense to separate by eye color rather than actual race.

We did it different at our elementary school. We would learn about the holocaust and WW2 and then one day half of the class would have to wear Stars of David and would have to wait at the end of the lunch line, got a shorter recess, couldn't play, etc. The next day we switched.

She never saw another child for being part of another race until yesterday," Gough said Wednesday. "Now she's afraid that the black kids hate her for something she doesn't know anything about." That's the key here.
Children are taught hate. These kinds were taught hate, certainly not taught understanding and compassion.

The real lesson here is one the leftists practice, but don't want understood -- treat people differently based on any characteristic and they'll divide into warring tribes.
"Affirmative action" isn't an attempt to cure racial antagonism; it's part of the fuel that keeps it going. So is the endless stream of media articles focusing on racial differences.
To: bkwells
Mazzulla then allowed the black children to taunt their white classmates, Gough said her daughter told her. My bet is Mazzulla is a KKK grand dragon masqerading as a teacher, 'cause she couldn't have found a more effective method to foster little white kid resentment towards little black kids.

And while we're on the subject.
I took a peek at one of my teacher sister's propaganda books for teachers a few years ago.
One chapter dealt with how you should expect and accept black children's classroom disruptions, since their home lives were so chaotic (it's a "cultural" thing).
Talk about condescending and racist.
A couple more generations of government schooling, and the plan will be neatly cemented.
I see doom.

My ancestors came here in the 1910s-1920s. I don't owe ANYONE a damn thing! When my family came, the Indians were already on the reservations and the blacks were already emancipated.
