Go to love what the left has done to our schools...

Quote:ST. PAUL, Minn. – While teachers blow the whistle on the breakdown of discipline for black students in St. Paul Public Schools, a photo has emerged from an “equity” training that might leave some to wonder what’s actually being taught to teachers.

Aaron Benner, a fourth grade teacher in the district, told EAGnews about how black students “are frequently not held accountable for their actions” due to “white privilege” training for teachers and administrators.

“As a black man I can say that they are hurting black kids,” Benner said. “I’ve never seen anything as idiotic as PEG. Everything we do, PEG is at the forefront.

“It’s so comical. PEG says shouting out in class is a black cultural norm, and being on time is a white cultural thing. It’s so demeaning, so condescending to black kids. If a white person were making claims like this, black people would be in an uproar.

“You are not doing kids any favors by making excuses for them because they are black. It’s not a matter of culture if you’re talking about norms that all cultures need to abide by – you cannot throw things or attack your teacher, regardless of your race.”

SPPS white privilege training slide EAGNow, a source has provided photographic evidence of the tenor of some of the “white privilege” training being administered to St. Paul teachers.

According to the source, the photo is from a training this year at Bruce Vento Elementary during a staff meeting.

It features a figure wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood with the question, “When do you wear the hood?”

The principal allegedly displayed the picture and “asked the staff to sit in silence and reflect on it for 3 to 4 minutes.”

The source refused to elaborate out of fear of retribution.

Another source said, “This picture — and the idea that it would be helpful in some way — is totally unbelievable.”

An email to Scott Masini, principal of Bruce Vento, was not immediately returned.

Last May, the Pioneer Press reported the St. Paul district had spent at least $1.2 million on such training from Pacific Educational Group, a San Francisco-based company that conducts similar trainings in school districts across America.

Last fall, the Star Tribune reported St. Paul schools inked a $246,500 contract with PEG for “equity” training – “$133,500 less than the agreement approved for 2013-14.”

I'd say I want to leave the country, but there's really no better options.

Sad but true, at least as long as you need to keep making a living. If you are independently wealthy, or retired, the options open up.

Just backs up some of the stuff O'Reilly was saying about schools. What a disaster.

If White left wingers dislike like White people, Get Yourselves a Tanning Bed ! It will make you feel better about Yourselves.

I find it ironic that some of the people in this country who believe they are the most patriotic are the first to want to leave the country when things aren't going the way they like.

Bootlicking cucks.

I'm not the "most patriotic." I am, however, patriotic. Especially in the sense that I like America because it sucks less than most other places.

I still think this is the greatest country in the world and would not want to raise my kids anywhere else.

What part of patriotism is sitting there and allowing yourself to get screwed while things go to hell in a hand basket?

Perhaps that is the biggest difference between people like me and people like you.

Whereas you think this country is going to pot, I think this country is on the rise.

Says it all right there. I think it's time for California to be set off to form its own country. They're mostly too far gone to be rescued. Those reasonable people left there would unfortunately have to make a choice. But most Californians are pro-choice, so what would be the harm.

Started a new thread here to explore this idea separate from the this thread's topic: Consider what America would be like without California?

As its own country, California could divide into the recently proposed 6 or 8 states, and have at it will all their inanity. But at least they'd be forced to pay for themselves without dragging the rest of us along.

Would also positively help change the American political landscape. Take away California's influence, and Congress and the Electorate, even with keeping NY and Florida, becomes much more reasonably oriented back toward what the US was founded to be. No more nut-jobs like Barracks or Hilliary would stand a chance for high office.)

I also do, but wouldn't mind raising my kids in certain other countries.

Which is not to say that I don't think anything is wrong with this country. It has a lot of problems. However, I see the future as bright.

I don't. Not unless we make drastic changes in our current direction.

The issue for me is whether it's going to crater during my lifetime or after I'm gone, which obviously affects my personal decision.

We're like trust fund babies, squandering the accomplishments of the past on "feel good" stupidity.

I'm sorry to hear that. It has been my experience that as we get older, we tend to be less and less optamistic and more pesamistic. I am middle aged. Are you in the twilight years?

Since I've held the same view since high school, I'd say the question is irrelevant.

That's very interesting.

Most conservatives I know started out as very liberal and have become more consertative with age.

One of my best friends was conservative in high school and he has since become Tea Party material.
