A school principal said no white children were allowed at an after-school tutoring program, and now some parents call it discrimination.
The principal at Mission Viejo Elementary in Aurora sent a letter telling parents the program is only for students of color. Parents CBS4 talked with said they were shocked to see, in this day and age, what they consider to be segregation.
“I was infuriated. I didn’t understand why they would include or exclude certain groups,” said parent Nicole Cox, who is white.
Cox’s 10-year-old daughter needs tutoring. After receiving the notice, other parents complained to the school’s principal, Andre Pearson.
“We have come so far in all of these years to show everybody that everyone is equal, that everyone should be treated equally … this is a form of bullying,” Cox said.
Before Cox could complain to the school, Pearson contacted her directly. His voicemail only seemed to reinforce the segregated tutoring idea.
“This is Andre Pearson. It’s focused for and designed for children of color, but certainly, if we have space for other kids who have needs, we can definitely meet those needs,” Pearson told Cox in the voicemail.
Pearson declined to comment on camera, but a district spokesperson claims it was all just a big misunderstanding.
“I think what the answer is, is that he made a mistake,” Tustin Amole with the Cherry Creek School District told CBS4.
The new tutoring program was started by parents of minority students to help bridge the achievement gap.
The district is now clarifying that the program wasn’t meant to segregate anyone.
“But we have had lots of students sign up for the tutoring. Many of them are white and we will be accepting all of them,” Amole said.
“I just want everybody to be treated equally,” Cox said.
The new tutoring program began Wednesday. CBS4 was told a letter would be going out to parents to clarify the error that was made.
You’re exactly right. Whites need to begin to self-segregate ourselves-just as every other race does-have our own tutoring programs, etc, When blacks or other minorities scream about it, just point to things like this. They don’t get to have it both ways, depending on what suits them.
Maybe whites will finally wake up and begin to see that it was only about “equality” until blacks were in a position to come out with the true end game-black “superiority”. The fact that this can only lead to Detroit or South Africa does not faze them.
They will still scream bloody murder when whites begin to self-segregate, because we must be kept like cattle to provide the labor which produces the taxes which are then redistributed to them. We are the hosts to the parasites.
Hasn’t been for ten’s of years..................
In a right world...the SOB should be fired.
Except this happened in Denver.....
It’s Colorado, folks. Some call that particular area “Saudi Aurora.”

I heard it called “Auroristan”
A lawsuit SHOULD be an open-and-shut case. A government entity openly excluding members of a particular race from a tax-supported benefit.
I’m sure that’s why the district backed off so quickly and called it a “misunderstanding.” I think that’s a Genesis song?
Sometime back I was at a funeral and ran into an old acquantance. This is someone I’d known since childhood. His mother is white and his dad is a Spanish Jew. He’s got a Mediterranean look and can pass for Italian, Greek, ME, etc.
He had become a school teacher at a prestigious school in a very wealthy area. He teaches special ed. He went on and on about how he ground into the kids his ethnicity as a person of color to teach those “white boys of privilege” what life is really about.
“I had always thought of you as white”, I replied. That ended the conversation, but the sickness goes on. This is government schooling and the religion of Political Correctness. The Nazis and the Communists had the same thing.
