My sister taught school. Most of her students were black. There were some students who worked hard and wanted to learn, but most were discipline problems.
The children who wanted to learn were grateful for everything she gave them.
"Don't you like teaching the children who want to learn?" I once asked her.
"Oh of course!" she replied. "The problem is that I have to spend most of my time with the children who are discipline problems."
When she corrected them and tried to teach them, the regular response was, "You racist!"
For example, one day she said to the class, "Is it correct to say, 'He gave the book to Mary and me,' or 'He gave the book to Mary and I'?"
When she explained that "Mary and I" was incorrect, some of the children became angry and said, "You racist! My Mama says, 'You and I.' I'm gone tell my Mama you racist!"
Not only did she have to tangle with children who were difficult like that and were discipline problems, but some of the parents were just as difficult.
To her profound regret, she had a very hard time giving the interested students what they needed and wanted.
My father was a child of the Great Depression. Born in 1922 in rural SW Georgia, he plowed mules to make a family living under false pretense by his no-good, alcoholic father that he would personally benefit from the crops he made. His dad, my grandfather, whom I never met, always snookered him out of his cut. Gave Dad a huge chip on his shoulder that caused him to pursue skills and limited education that allowed him to rise above his humble beginnings. He also demanded that his two sons be educated and refrain from heavy alcohol consumption.
He always posed this choice to us when talking about getting an education: You choose with your education whether your family can eat steak when they want to, or whether they will have to eat beans.
Consequently, I always grew up with a fear of not having a job or not having enough to eat. I have been blessed with enough all my life and always appreciated the guidance when I got old enough to understand. We would be much better off if a lot of people in our country had the benefit of what I heard. Too many are content with their food stamps.
BigLeft won’t be happy till they’re all reduced to smacking themselves on the forehead while grunting and pointing at what they want...
Keep the Harfoots savages that no one can like.
I’m still waiting for someone to say “psyph”. The left is mental.
Since continuing the dumbing down of American citizens consumes left wingnuts
infested full time with Anti-Americanism Syndrome.
How can you be "working class" when you don't work?
They always said the safest place to hide your money was in their work boots.
Which colonists? Spanish? Italian? German? Dutch? English? Irish? The ones who crossed the Bering Strait? The ones who came up from the Yucatan? Will they be teaching Yiddish? Gaelic? Flemish?

Being well spoken and articulate is now racist.
I guess that’s why Fetterwoman eats vegetables from a veggie tray and does not eat crutite.
Fleming has a supporter in the Daily Mail comments, posting several times. She challenged someone to read his work, with providing a link. One finds his articles through the university page, and so I read one. It is in English and rather white he uses big white English words rooted in "colonial roots." If England is continued to be attacked as colonial, is parallel it should be recognized that the anti-slavery movement began in earnest in England. Additionally, the anti-colonial last decades have been one of Britain supporting others, not pillaging and raping and thieving. Fleming has published word salads at the PhD level with plenty of assertions that his research and analysis has "proven" something. It has not, says another PhD. Fleming's work is rather like the Daily Mail article characterizes it. This proves the academic Left of the Anglo zone shares its abiding racism across the Atlantic, Berkeley to Edge Hill. Leftist political claptrap dressed up as research.
Even the English language is racist to Communists.
“Keepin’it real”
Yeah, real dumb.

ya... as I strain to understand wtf the person is saying as I order at the drive thru... I mumble to myself, catching myself and lowering the volume so they dont mess with my food. but I want to scream it!! SPEAK F*****G ENGLISH!!!
They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.
And the intelligence gap between any physics prof and the lecturer in English and Education at Edge Hill University also has colonial roots? Occam’s razor says otherwise.
Illiteracy is not a virtue
The permanent underclass. Beasts, who look like people.
