some parents are considering keeping their children out of schoolI'll believe it when I see it. No way are they giving up their free childcare.

I've had people tell me (off the record) that they'd rather work with us but they have it from the "higher ups" that they have to work with minorities.
We went from discriminating against blacks (which was before I was born) to discriminating against whites. Can't we find a middle ground?

Mind you, if someone dares challenge their position on this kind of idiocy, they/we become nothing short of "Uncle Toms" who have "forgotten who we are."
To them an "Uncle Tom" is any black person who has worked hard and succeeded on their own merits. If I were you I'd wear that label with pride.

Affirmative action is bullcrap. America is about (or should be about) the best man (or woman) for the job, period. We all know the way it should be, but the stupid activists and "political-correctness" promoters keep standing in the way.

Seems there is some grumbling in NYC at well. Bloomberg chose a white guy to be the new schools chancellor and certain folks wanted a horse of another color.
Personally, there is no way on earth that Klein is going to accomplish a thing. He's a dem and he is not going to take on the teachers union.

Hopefully, because of this fact, it will prevent either side from accusing the other of racism. But then again, maybe not.

The naacp is opposed to voting along racial lines, unless, of course, voting along racial lines results in a win for blacks. Then it's OK.
To: Michael2001
Did'nt you get the memo, you have to be white to be racist. Come on get with the program.

You're right. I've seen that happen so many times. Good Blacks speak up and they get shouted down by the Black bigots. The NAACP continues to expand the White backlash which they created. Without their attacks on the Confederate Flag, there would be no Southern Movement. ..........HEY!, I hope they keep it up 'cause we're gettin' organized
DEO VINDICE!

Ever notice that blacks can vote along racial lines, but if whites do it, it's racially motivated?

Mr. Gatewood really needs a counseling session with Rev. Jesse Peterson or some of the other brethren from BOND.

THis is the SOS that makes it almost impossible to narrow the gap between the races. Rather than encouraging black parents and the black students to devote their efforts toward tutoring and preaching the gospel of Captialism,"You can be anything you are willing to work toward being, in the USA" to black children, the so-called leadership demands prefferential treatment and affirmative action instead, which is the same thing as telling young blacks that Whites control their destiny. Nothing could be further from the truth.The Success and main streaming of all Americans, would be the best thing that ever happened, and rational people of all races agree on this.
If the bunch who spends so much time and effort demonizing Ms Dinlinger for her efforts to create an educational system that turns out fully educated students of all races and ethnicities, ready to make their mark in the world, and be successful and solid citizens, would encourage and unite with her effort-there would be few if any left behind.
Gatewood and his supporting thugsters at the NACCP, would probably be welcomed with open arms if they applied for membership in the KKK.

Why vote if it is understood/assumed that the minority candidate is supposed to win?
To: Michael2001
"I haven't heard anybody read me my rights yet, what are my rights?"
You have the right to remail silent, Mr. Gatewood. The rest of the planet would appreciate it if you would exercise that right.
To: TomServo
and the vote to re-elect her was split along racial linesSo, tell me, friend, if the blacks all voted for the black, and the whites all voted for the white, why are the blacks so upset? Why is it only okay for blacks to vote along racial lines?

This is so typical of the liberal-controlled education establishment. No discussion of substantive educational issues and differences between the candidates. It's all about the spoils system. Who gets the high paying job? Who gets to control the budget? Who gets to hire their friends as "consultants"? The education of children...what's that got to do with it?

I don't think the article is well written. Are the protestors just upset because a white woman won re-election? What is the basic issue that wasn't reported here?
