Michelle Obama Would Like Students to Monitor Family Members for Racial Insensitivity

First lady Michelle Obama is encouraging students to monitor their older relatives, friends and co-workers for any racially insensitive comments they might make, and to challenge those comments whenever they’re made.

The first lady spoke on Friday to graduating high school students in Topeka, Kansas, and in remarks released over the weekend, Obama said students need to police family and friends because federal laws can only go so far in stopping racism.

[O]ur laws may no longer separate us based on our skin color, but nothing in the Constitution says we have to eat together in the lunchroom, or live together in the same neighborhoods,” she said. “There’s no court case against believing in stereotypes or thinking that certain kinds of hateful jokes or comments are funny.”

To address these limitations in the law, Obama asked students to take steps to “drag my generation and your grandparents’ generation along with you” in the fight against racism.

And just today someone referenced an old left wing folk song by the Chad Mitchell Trio with the words “If mommy is a commie you’ll have to turn her in.” I’m sure to all old hippies a police state witch-hunting racism is so much better.

Big Sister is watching you!

Under Stalin and Mao, children were encouraged the report "reactionary" tendencies among their parents to the proper authorities. The most famous example was Pavlik Morozov

We're moving in the same direction, with the supposed deadly sin of "racism" taking the place of "reactionary bourgeois tendencies." How many US Pavlik Morozovs will turn in their parents to the thought police?
