Frenship ISD teacher apologizes after McKinney-related segregation post
Lubbock Avalanch-Journal ^ | 6/11/15 | Karen Michael & Adam Young

Posted on 06/11/2015 12:35:11 PM PDT by DoodleDawg

A Frenship teacher said she apologized after writing a Facebook post saying she was “almost to the point” of wanting segregation regarding a racially charged police issue in McKinney.

Karen Fitzgibbons, a teacher at Bennett Elementary School, told A-J Media she deleted the post Wednesday evening — a day after writing the publicly viewable post on her Facebook page.

Asked about the post, a Frenship ISD spokesman said such matters are “taken very seriously.”

Fitzgibbons started the post by saying a McKinney police officer’s resignation after a dispute at a swimming pool made her angry and that the officer should not have to resign.

“I’m going to just go ahead and say it ... the blacks are the ones causing the problems and this ‘racial tension.’ I guess that’s what happens when you flunk out of school and have no education. I’m sure their parents are just as guilty for not knowing what their kids were doing; or knew it and didn’t care. I’m almost to the point of wanting them all segregated on one side of town so they can hurt each other and leave the innocent people alone. Maybe the 50s and 60s were really on to something. Now, let the bashing of my true and honest opinion begin....GO!

This is just my opinion but as a person of a certain background to be honest I felt she was mad at the mostly darker skinned young teens who were being a bunch of asses and the race pimps who are to proud to admit that the great society is a failure, not the good ones who work and do not break the law and call themselves Americans. At the end of the day she is the right to believe in whatever she wants for I disagree with what she said but I will defend her right to say it but I think she forgot the fact that as an employee working for someone else depending you can lose your job over statements like this, one should be mindful of what you say, and no im not a fan of PC.

” Do people really think that normal political methods can reverse such power?”

In all seriousness I don’t think it can be reversed at all.
Slow, steady, crushing weight.
I keep thinking about the National Geographic films were the giant Python catches a Gazelle. It’s not fast just steady, although it does seem to be gaining speed now.

I agree, did then - do now. Just pointing out how accurate they were, we can argue all day about why or how we got here but they called it pretty good as to where we were going.

Why would anyone post these views and add the #imnotaracist hashtag? Just say that you’re racist and let them lump it. How will anything turn out worse for you?

“If she publicly states that she favors racial segregation of schools, she does not belong in a classroom.”

About 7 years ago I would have agreed with you, but not anymore - my eyes have been opened.

If I lived in an area with a large percentage of Blacks (there are only about 12 in my entire mostly rural county of around 70, 000 people), and if my son and daughter were still in school, I would pull them out of that school in a heartbeat. We would send them to a private school or homeschool them. If we couldn’t do either of those, we would sell everything we could and move out of the area.

I will admit that I am starting to think that I was dumber than a box of rocks to make it to 59 years of age without ever being a racist. I still don’t think I am racist (now 66), but it no longer bothers me if people think I might be.

My parents brought us up to be rational, not racists. After the past 7 years I have leaned that the majority of Black folks hate my guts....because I am White.

If a Black approaches me, I will be a gentleman, friendly and very cordial, as long as I know them to be a conservative. I guess I don’t need to explain how I might respond to the reverse of that.

I admire many of the Black folks on Fox and they would always be welcome in my home. there are too many names to list, but as an example, I hold Sheriff Clark in very high regard. Likewise, there are several Black conservatives on FR....I have grown to like and respect them too.

Maybe I am only part racist...I am not sure anymore. ~~~School segregation in some areas, such as Baltimore might need to be explored.~~~

It has occurred to me that I have rambled on and on. If I have offended any conservative Blacks on FR, it was not my intent.

Don’t worry, I understand your intent and you’re correct. I am fortunate in that I am now retired, so I can be just about as loose as I want in my wording.

I tried FaceBook for a few months and quickly learned it was not a place for me, so I quit about the time Obama won his second term.

Cheers.....

LOL... If you read my post #26, you might find that you do not agree with me either. ;>)

I do not like having to be careful with what I am thinking or saying... maybe it’s just an old guy thing.

Cheers.....

my thoughts on mckinney...

her iq is so low she does not even recognize that she is a racist..

with that in mind, i offer the following..

the district that she is elected from is filled with below average iq individuals..

therefore, she, as a low iq representitive of a low iq district, should be shunned and ignored..

ask her what 2 + minus 1 equals...

if she cannot answer immediately, she is at best an imbicile and at worst a moron ( clinical progression is imbicile, idiot, moron )...

morons carry no weight with me..

Liberals in the Obama administration see the only solution in Iraq as separating the country into three groups based on ethnic and religious differences. So why not settle our racial differences in the same way? Blacks don’t like living iwith Whites. They ought to be given the opportunity to live in a Black Country.

Facebook and Twitter have cost more people their careers and livelyhoods then any other toola I can think of. Do people really think that only their closest "friends" can see what they post?

And do they think that ALL the people they assume are "friends" will not, in a moment of spite, copy/paste what they wrote to others?
