A teacher told attendees at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics Monday night that he helped write the controversial Common Core education standards to end white privilege. Dr. David Pook, a professor at Granite State College and chair of the History department at The Derryfield School in Manchester, New Hampshire, argued in favor of Common Core. The reason why I helped write the standards and the reason why I am here today is that as a white male in society I am given a lot of privilege that I didnt earn. Ironically, the $28,535 per year Derryfield School that Dr. Pook teaches at considers the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) inferior and does not use them on the student body that is 91% white.

No, that’s the tuition at the high school he teaches at.
That’s a quite expensive day school ad these things go.
Black Racism—Its the Kawanza people all over again.
Common Core will use the same tactics as Obamma Care. Set up to look like free market solutions, but with the government “Progressives” gradually changing things until the government runs, and decides who is worthy of health care. In the schools it will be incremental change to teaching leftist government worship and religious hatred propaganda. These progressives are patient and have a long-term goal “evolution not revolution” just like Chavez did.
No.
That $28k is the school's tuition per student!
I’m half Cherokee. I have the high cheekbones, not very dark skin but tans easily and green eyes. I’ve been mistaken for everything from a Mexican to a Scandinavian (when I bleached my hair).
I s/h/b a spook.
oh, I see. Dr. Polk decided it would be deviously entertaining for himself to set up teaching methods that would confuse even the brightest white student so as to crush their ambition and self-confidence and make them more amiable to confessing their guilt at being born white. Got it. Jail him for child abuse.
I just cannot fathom the stupidity of people coming out of school into the workplace.
And also, all the "Everybody is a winner" crapola will have the workplace in chaos.
Occam’s Razor, dumb down everyone to the level of brain damage.
My sister is a teacher and would quit now because of Common Core, so she told my mother ( we rarely speak since she voted for the Big0 twice). Two more years and then she is out like a shot. She says they are testing 2nd graders with tests designed for 5th and 6th graders.
Only goal I can see is to set up the kids for failure at a very early age,teaching them that they cannot succeed. All these teachers who voted for this guy should ask for forgiveness as soon as possible preferably on live tv.
It basically is a form of “reasoning” absent from context. a sort of drone making and destruction of history for corporate peace shallow culture. it will only end in disaster as we will be manufacturing irresponsible idiots.
“...does not use them on the student body...”
He wrote them for the hoi polloi and those down on lower rungs of the social ladder.
Correct ..thats what it was
I guess I took editorial license...
“You can buy the soul of a college dept. chair for $28k per year...?”
I read that number as the tuition for the school, not the prof’s salary.
What you’re seeing here is parallel to the antisemitism of the late 19th century. Like the Jews before them, the “white male” is being targeted, successfully, as not only the cause of social problems, but also as unfair recipients of wealth and status that have been “stolen” from others around them. Right now it seems like quirky bullshit from fringe thinkers and wacked pseudointellectuals. The idea is taking root that white males, and especially Christian white males, are undeserving of what they have.
If you talked with European Jews in 1870, most would concede some animosity and hatred, but they’d probably disbelieve that their neighbors, colleagues, coworkers, and families would someday round them up in mechanized genocide. (Russian Jews would believe it.)
We’re seeing the first baby steps of genocide. And although I don’t have any knowledge of this, I would bet there were self-hating Jews, just like this self-hating educator, who thought that all they had to do was express guilt and they’d obtain penance.
The good news for the haters, of course, is that it’s a lot easier identifying a person by skin color than it is by ethnicity. No need for yellow stars this time around.
God help us.
Connie Stevens!
Tilting at windmills...
Really, if the administrators in the school or district are on board with common core, the teacher will get a bunch of bad reviews in their jacket, and then get the boot.
Better to look for a school which does not buy in and get a new job.
Unfortunately, that school will be harder to find as the tentacles of what is considered an accredited education affect even private and parochial schools.
I got screwed. Never recieved my white privilege package in the mail.. I complained to Rush Limbaugh but he said they are on back order and there was nothing he could do...
You can buy the soul of a college dept. chair for $28k per year...?

I read that the 28K was the tuition per year per student.
The sooner the better.
The only place you or anybody else will see “dues paid” is at the cross of Christ.
