The conservatives at Fox News called it “discrimination.” The neo-confederates at the Heritage Foundation said it “violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause.” A headline in the official digital outlet of white nationalism asks: “Aren’t We Better Than Minneapolis Teachers Union’s Fire Whites First’ Policy?”
They are referring to the newest issue in the white outrage industrial complex, a contract between Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers. The conservative media has latched on to the plan as yet another example of the rising oppression of Caucasian America. According to the collectively bargained agreement’s detractors, MPS will target white teachers for layoffs to solve for “past discrimination.”

Yes let’s over turn Brown vs Board of Education and return to separate but equal schools.
What CRAP
Michael Harriot, Negro.
Has this term “whitelash” been used before? I may have missed it.
Please do.
Van Jones used it, I think when describing the 2016 presidential election.
Kind of conflicted about this since these are liberal public school teachers that are being fired.
Van Jones. I actually remember now. Thanks.
Exactly. Not my dog, not my fight.
Also, pretty much any white teacher worth their salt has already left anyway, so it’s likely those remaining white teachers aren’t very good anyway.
“Yes let’s over turn Brown vs Board of Education and return to separate but equal schools.”
Damn! History and Karma are real b**ches, aren’t they?
Somewhere folks like Al Gore Sr, Orval Faubus, James Eastland, George Wallace, Lester Mattox and many others are smiling.
yes lets do it
and quit being namby pamby
just put up “blacks only” signs
and be done with it
c’mon man! if you are going to be a commie, go full commie!
Yep.
I grew up in Southern Maryland. At that time the schools were segregated.
The ‘black’ school was called Sojourner Truth. Almost all of its graduates ended up in Ivy League schools, while us poor whites were stuck in the Prince George’s Community College.
We all gave a sigh of relief when they closed Sojourner Truth, tore it down and put up a very nice public library there.
“the white outrage industrial complex”
The what.....do what now???
There are several very good reasons to return to “separate but equal”.
Its impossible to prove that it did any good, among other things. And the later policies that came out of the Coleman studies of the 1960s (based on “peer effects”) have proven impossible to implement.
In the current state of affairs in the world, there are times when one can make a difference by directly fighting back, and others when it is best to just pay no attention to the fools. Those involved in or affected by this particular craziness will hopefully do just that... and challenge this idiocy in the courts and at the ballot box.
However, most of us who see this epidemic of criminal insanity can personally do little about it, and therefore in my humble opinion are best off just ignoring it unless we personally have some way of assisting those who themselves are more directly in the fray.
I’m a fan of state’s rights. That’s not my state……
“...better educational, emotional and behavioral outcomes in classrooms with same-race teachers.”
Are children happier when allowed to run wild and given easy grades?
They like behaving in a hostile manner towards white people.
Keep it up. You’ll see what happens when the goodwill that whites have had towards blacks is finally all gone.
