Right. Very informative and vital read.

They were likely PAID PROFESSIONALS. They will make almost any nonsensical complaint to the moderators to get a thread pulled. Their ultimate goal is to get a poster banned.

Remember...The Marxists would kill us if they could. They just can’t get away with it...(yet).

There is nothing in this story that did not strike a chord with me; I have lived it. Every concept, stereotype, and action detailed in this story is spot on.

The ignorance, laziness, hostility and the just-plain-hatefulness-against white-people are things I witnessed daily when I worked in the schools.

I decided back then that if I won the lottery I would use the money to identify the good kids (who actually wanted to learn) and pay for them to attend private schools, as the environment of the public schools (that I worked in) was rife with violence, disrespect, and anti-white hatred.

Due to a series of eye-opening experiences (many of which were touched upon in the article), it was at this time in my life that I began to seriously consider the viability of a civil war. I think it may be the only way to turn our once-great country around.

I have no doubt that the students in his classes behaved the way he says they did. But, growing up, almost everyone across the color spectrum in my town talked, walked, and behaved that way. It's a matter of class and culture.

One reason we homeschool is to keep our children out of these types of toxic environments. Outside the school system, they only come across bad behavior here and there, not six hours a day.

But, I'm not impressed at all by this teacher. Based on his observations at ONE school, he draws broad generalizations. Then he misses the real point: that the public school exists only to protect jobs (like his). Without it, the private sector would offer education only to the students who valued one.

Thanks for the link.

What's really interesting is the comments posted. The discussion gets very nasty and racist.

It's a video of a black teacher teaching black students about the importance of proper pronunciation, and how it helps with getting a job and “first impressions”.

A good lesson, you would think. But the idiots who posted comments are horrible! Such racist comments from both sides! No wonder our schools are in such a state of disrepair. No one takes any personal responsibility for their actions anymore.
