This will not be an issue because of the incredible double standard that exists in our country. No heads will roll because the NJEA is on the "left" side.

Too often of late, I find that it's necessary to "talk down" to teachers in order to be understood.

The whole thing sounds a lot like the old "separate but equal" philosophy which, of course, was never really equal.
Not very surprising that the Left has returned to segregation and racial preferences.

Boortz did a great job on this one too. I think him picking it up is what really got the ball rolling.
(P.S. - I'm heading out on the Big Mohawk tomorow, I hear the tog are coming up from only about 75'.)

"Today, teachers want to use new methods and materials to give each child personal guidance. When you assist teachers, you give them more time to work with children. You allow them to be more effective teachers." The African-American version sounds just like Hillary when she's talking to a crowd.

As it turned out, the African-American version was shorter and used clearer language. Oh my.

> "Someone erroneously labeled it 'African-American version,' and it should never have been labeled as such," he said. "When we realized what the perception was, we immediately took it off. There was never an idea that we somehow needed a second version for African-American parents."
Right. They made a simpler version, then when it came time to name it, among possibilities such as "dumbed-down", "simple", and "uneducated", the concept "African-American version" just appeared out of thin air, and was immediately adopted.
No, this is a natural consequence of the liberal babying of the African American commmunity as perpetual victims who are unable to lift themselves up. Only this time they went too far and exposed themselves.
Sad to think these benighted ones are so influential on our children.

I like this version better. It's more intellectual...and makes you appreciate the
english language.
Why do teachers need my help?" says: "Today, there is an increasing emphasis on individualized instruction-fitting the curriculum to the child. Teachers want to employ new methods and materials to give each child personal guidance. When you assist teachers with growing paperwork, make instructional materials or conduct a science experiment, you give them more time for planning activities, for trying new teaching strategies and for working directly with children."

GOOD JOB.......
Those of you whove read my past columns know I firmly believe some liberals believe black people are intellectually inferior. Thats why they fight so hard for programs like Affirmative Action that justifies their sentiment (and pity) that blacks need an extra push since theyre just too damn stupid to make it on their own. Well, guess what? Even though the Jersey teachers union tried to hide it, but the truth is out there.
