Allegations that a middle school teacher forced several students to stand and apologize for their “white privilege” have rocked a North Carolina school district.

First reported by American Lens, during a meeting of the Rockingham County School Board last month, a woman named Farren Wilkinson made the troubling accusations against a teacher from Western Rockingham Middle School.

Assuming she’s in one or more protected classes, termination probably won’t happen.

IF this allegation is true, the teacher should be fired. That is outrageous.

This sort of thing is rampant in college and is working its way into K-12 public school classrooms.

They’re (school principal) denying it happened. Hopefully, some of the students captured on vid, if it did happen.

If so, fire that teacher.

Even in the 7th grade I would have told the “Teacher” to shove it where the sun don’t shine.

I would respond with 4 words.

I would begin with an obscene verb.
I would use the word “you” twice.
I would finish with a banned word for a demographic group.

I would take the consequences.

I would have said to this fascist, “I will not apologize for being white. We are the superior race. By the way, b*tch, Trump in 2020. Because, F-— You!”

Then I would stand back and which the head of the “teacher” go BOOM!

however any allegations brought to our attention are investigated thoroughly

By whom? I would hope it was investigated by an independent entity, not someone from the school district.

If she’s white she goes. Otherwise all bets are off.

Even assuming there is white privilege, why should you apologize for something that you had no control over ... being born white?

It’s totally illogical on so many levels ... even before you get to the moral issues.

People born in Western countries were born with incredible wealth and privilege compared to most other places on the planet. Even the poorest person in the West lives like a king compared to most people on the planet.

Should we apologize for the geographic location of our birth?

Insanity.

You’re a racist for saying ‘white privilege’ is racism.

Just giving you the Left’s counter-argument in advance. Anything you say is racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, etc, no logical argumentation required.

Even in 7th grade I was too strong willed and confident in my beliefs to not cooperate. No telling what I might have said at that age - could have been something like “sure, right after you apologize for being black” - even knowing that I was going to be ejected no matter what. At least I would always have known by parents had my back, so to speak.

Here is what I explained to a bigoted Democrats once. It had to do with homosexuals. I said i didn’t care for that activity. He said that I was a homophobe. I said what? He said that I must harbor gay fantasies. I laughed and said “I don’t like onions, not because they taste bad, but I am allergic to them and they give me a severe headache. Now, the doesn’t mean i secretly want onions, or desire them in my “closet”, or sneak away to look at onions in the store. I just don’t like them and ignore them. They have no meaning or place in my life. And neither does homosexual activities. I don’t think about them, watch them or desire them. I am not interested in their marches, or protests or anything that they do to promote that lifestyle. After all this he looked at me and said “So you’re afraid of homosexuals”. I rolled my eyes, took a deep breath and said: “You are the most brain dead individual I have ever spoken with”. He didn’t get it. he had been so brain washed to think such things that logical reasoning was beyond him.

I apologize this racist wasn’t fired immediately with demands that school system hasn’t refunded her wages back to the taxpayers.

I don't know what they mean by "white privilege" especially in college. (Rhetorical question)

College scholarships, outside full rides for academic ability, are primarily given to blacks and hispanics.

Tough luck if you are a middle class white who is not a top student - you get to be the one who pays the professors' salaries.

It is very rude for the professors to complain about the "whiteness" of the people paying them.

And, on top of that, 70% of NFL players contain blacks who went through a system which enabled them to get through college via scholarships that white people pay for.

The kids don’t have the power to resist. They are kids, and as such, in school, have no rights. Their parents need to sue the schools.

The country is rushing headlong into fascism, and no one is trying to stop it.
