Officials with the Olathe School District issued an apology Friday after only black students were invited on a school outing.
On Wednesday, a letter was sent to Olathe South High School students by Assistant Principal Candy Birch. In the letter, Birch said in her role as activities director that she wanted to give students an additional opportunity to connect with each other.
"So we are planning an outing open to our African-American sophomores and juniors," she wrote.
The event on April 5 would include a visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, the American Jazz Museum, lunch at Arthur Bryant's and then a visit to the Nelson-Atkins Art Gallery to see the "History and Hope: Celebrating the Civil Rights Movement" exhibit.

That district’s tax dollars hard at work! No doubt they are really into the Common Core Standards and Data Base as well.

Maybe this was surreptitiously meant to be “WHITES ONLY” day at school.

Let them go. Let the rest of the kids see what the school is like on that day.Would it be racist to say it might be quieter?

Those areas thrived before the predators took over. Bryants, Strouds, BB’s BBQ, with all the great places with wonderful jazz and blues.
Who want to go there now when they take over even the Plaza?

“any country that promotes every minority group at the expense of the majority culture - is waging war on the majority culture.”
Even worse: they are separating those minority students from any mainstream, increasing the chance that they become marginalized, unassimilated malcontents...

an additional opportunity to connect with each other - school trips used to be educational, not a social event

OK, Here's what I think. Olathe South High is mostly made up of white kids. A trip to the museums and Arthur Bryants is definitely going to cost more than the $9 fee being charged to the kids. It was probably affordable for the school to subsidize the handful of black kids, but if a lot of the white kids decide to go it will be very expensive. More buses etc.
By the way if I was a student, the tour would be well worth the $9.

Maybe they can reschedule it, invite the white kids, but make them sit at the back of the bus.

My granddaughter’s school district. Actually its got one of the most conservative school boards in the country. Interesting. There will most definitely be an uproar.

Would it be racist to say it might be quieter? I suppose, but... look, I hate to say it, I really do, but that culture just sucks, from what I can see. There are black folks in my life that I like and respect. But they don't demonstrate the more visible elements of modern-day African-American culture. In fact, they usually seem determined to put plenty of space between themselves and the rest, and I don't blame them one bit.
To: Repeal 16-17
You are right.
Mea culpa.
I apologize.
Its a personal issue.
