A Michigan school board has approved a Black Lives Matter resolution that states its community is “a primarily white school district” that “occurred as a result of endemic racist housing policies, restrictive covenants, and intentional urban planning that prevented people of color from even entering white spaces.”
The resolution of the Mona Shores Public Schools Board of Education, of Norton Shores, Michigan, that passed at the end of June, says the board’s resolution is “in response to … a nationwide movement” that “has arisen to assert that Black Lives Matter.”
“Mona Shores Public Schools seeks to address institutionalized racism in our schools and community,” the resolution continues, adding that “the killing of unarmed Black men and women has left young people searching for answers to incredibly complicated and infuriating questions.”
Gary Nelund, mayor of Norton Shores, said in a statement to Breitbart News he disagrees with the paragraph that the Mona Shores school district is primarily white due to “racist” policies, referring to it as “a blanket statement lacking any specific evidentiary examples of such policies in the City of Norton Shores.”
The mayor continued:
My city participates in numerous State and Federal housing programs and in my 10 years as Mayor, we have not received any sort of correspondence about discriminatory policies, covenants or planning documents. Our City Manager has worked for the City for 25 years and he cannot recall any such correspondence in his time at the City. I agree that such discriminatory policies have existed in other parts of the country but I do not see them in Norton Shores.
According to the school board, its resolution speaks of its commitment “to the emotional and physical safety of Black students”:

Buncha Commies.
Defund them.
I’d pull my kids out, pronto.
ROFL!!!
Parts of this country have become hysterical :-)
I had to fill out a form online before and there was a choice of about 8 genders :-)
Even if Trump wins I don’t know how you re educate tens of millions of kids and young adults.
I think there must be a civil war. That sucks.
The under 35 crowd and minorities want everything that we worked our whole lives for.
Trillions a year in free stuff isn’t enough.
“occurred as a result of endemic racist housing policies, restrictive covenants, and intentional urban planning that prevented people of color from even entering white spaces.”
Absolutely asinine, and those clowns have no business even talking to children, let alone “educating” them.
Yeah, cause forced and arbitrary integration has been such a boon to public education.
66% white 18% black 8% Hispanic 5% Asian
What examples of institutional racism can they provide that aren’t already illegal under a multitude of state and federal laws already? Overt racism is easily recognized but covert racism is less easily observed.
Their attitudes are breeding MORE racism against, not for, their cause.
This is how they do it.
Delphi Technique!
It worked on the villagers.
Then they came for the Kulaks.
Then they came for everything else.
It’s here, it’s now!
Look around at what they are trying to pull.
If the white parents have half a brain, it won’t be much longer.
The resolution continues the school district will use “restorative justice practices district-wide” that typically ban suspensions and encourage leniency toward black students for unacceptable behavior.
The Mona Shores resolution also states the board will “expand the role and scope of the Culture and Diversity Committee” in order “to derail the school-to-prison pipeline, the broader historical experience of the Black community, and present schooling experience.”
The school board intends as well to alter curriculum to include “events in Black history and Black culture such as Jim Crow laws, segregation, the creation of jazz and hip-hop, Juneteenth, Tulsa Massacre, redlining and the failures of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, the whitewashing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.”
Curriculum will also reflect “discussions of racial microaggressions” and “school-wide data on race and discipline.”
The school board says it is resolved to “continue to properly discipline students and faculty when they exhibit discriminatory or racist behavior, and maintain clearly delineated consequences of discriminatory and racist behavior such as mandatory anti-racism education.”
Michigan has been on educational auto pilot for decades and the residents have blinders on to the changes to the public education in the state.
Yes, it’s a mental disease.
This sh*t started in the UK when I lived there in the 90’ s. I KNEW it was coming here upon moving back and warned my family. And here we are.
Through the efforts of the teachers' unions, public schools are the biggest racist institution in the country.
Throw out the school board
Any teacher’s criticism or disciplining of a black child will be considered racist . . . If the teacher is white.

This is a continuation of Obama’s disciplinary policy that caused the school shooting in Florida and has also lead to teachers being beaten to a pulp.
Exactly.
