SAN FRANCISCO – Last week we were stunned to learn that chaos has been the norm in the St. Paul, Minnesota school district, due to a student disciplinary policy that replaces suspensions with time-outs, counseling and other less punitive measures.
We also learned that the controversial policy was influenced by the Pacific Educational Group (PEG), a radical San Francisco-based consulting firm that claims black students lag behind academically, and tend to have more disciplinary problems, because American K-12 education is designed to benefit white students – aka “white privilege.”
Now it’s becoming obvious that several other large school districts around the nation are in the same situation as St. Paul.
They’ve all instituted radical disciplinary policies to reduce the number of black student suspensions, they’ve all experienced serious behavioral problems as a result, and they’re all included on a recent list of PEG client school districts. The Post story quoted an L.A. teacher as saying, “I was terrified and bullied by a fourth grade student. The black student told me to ‘Back off b—h,’ I told him to go to the office and he said, ‘No, b—h and nobody can make me.”
Sperry wrote about Allen Zolman, a former middle school teacher in the Philadelphia school district, who testified in front of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights about the pratfalls of overly forgiving disciplinary policies.
“I’m going to torture you,” Zolman claims one student told him. “I’m doing this because I can’t be removed.”
“The less we are willing or able to respond, the more they will control the classroom, the hallways and the school,” Zolman was quoted as saying.
Thw ‘White Privelege’ meme is just Affirmative Action for criminal behavior. This needs to STOP or we won’t have a country at all!
My the rest get everything they have coming to them, and via a 200 lb fourth grader.
you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink
you can send a boy to school but you can’t make him think
“Progressives” are certainly tearing apart the old blue collar middle class backbone of the democrat party. First the police forces, now teachers will be the next targets.
Whaddaya mean "we", paleface?
Get Smart: throw the agents of chaos out of our schools, out of our cities, out of our states and country.
I have finally seen the light. I am 75 years old and white, and I agree that the discipline problem in today’s public schools is all my fault. I am so sorry. If only I had never been born then things would have been better I am sure.
Yeah, and pigs can fly!
It can't be stopped, so it must be encouraged to burn itself, and those who espouse it, out.
I say, flee the government indoctrination systems. Getting NO formal education is better than what these dens of perversion teach. At least at home, children can learn the values of their parents, under loving discipline.
Lord of the Flies.
Who could have imagined???
Here are the people paid millions of your tax dollars to privilege blacks out of having to be responsible for their behavior:

““I’m going to torture you,” Zolman claims one student told him. “I’m doing this because I can’t be removed.” “
My how things have NOT changed.
One of my students told me similar in 1968.
It is funny that for all their “Openness”, SF city is pretty closed to Blacks.
The Elite live in San Francisco and the dregs live in Oakland.
Isn’t it interesting that all this “white privilege” only benefits blacks?
You most certainly can. Just stick his head underwater, lift his tail and suck hard.
How did you handle the situation?
Because expectations and responsibility are racist concepts. And because calling your teacher a "b!tch" really strikes a blow against bigoted whites.
Sorry, too late. You see, this has been an ongoing transformation of our culture and society. The first action needed, was to remove mothers from the home. So, Women's Lib was born. And, women were convinced that they were objectified and oppressed. Divorce became a norm, kids returned home to empty houses, parents ceded responsibility to the "professionals" of the public school system.
There are no mothers at home to teach discipline or loving guidance, or anything else. They are getting their careers going.
I’m confused. Isn’t “time-out” nonsense the realm of white privilege? I sure don’t call it black culture.
I’m all for truly punitive punishment. Suspension is too nice - it may help the school, but not the “student”! Spankings should come back at school. And that is more a black thing!
So otherwise I really don’t know how to comment on this.
The present situation is intolerable. Schools are being held hostage by racist ignoramuses Things can't go on the way they are.
