Yeah. Let’s teach “ethnic studies” our “young skulls full ‘o mush”. We can always get highly skilled, high tech workers from the flood of illegal aliens pouring into our country. Good plan there Muffy!

Today we are graduating students who read (assuming they CAN read), and performing math at a grade school level. In the developed, industrial world, the US ranks

The United States came in 36th, trailing nations such as Estonia and the Slovak Republic.

As the sole reason we have education, is to prepare young adults to enter the workforce, prepared and capable of finding a job to support themselves and their family; or to prepare them for higher education so that they may better support their family - this is an absurd suggestion.

We have lost our identity as Americans. The left has dissolved our culture, justified evil, and punished achievement. The future of the US looks grim, and it gets grimmer as the left continues it's march towards socialism with hardly a Republican challenge.

White people are ethnic, too. Our ethnicity just has less melanin, that’s all.

That being said, I feel like having ethnic food - Sauerbraten, potatoes, and beer.

I think this cretin waste of taxpayer money would make great shark bait. How about trolling her behind your boat along Monterrey Beach?

I disagree. They hit it in the first sentence: San Francisco’s school board president wants high school students to take a course that examines ethnic identity, race-based systems of oppression and the emphasis on Euro-centric history in traditional textbooks.

“...a course that examines ethnic identity, race-based systems of oppression and the emphasis on Euro-centric history in traditional textbooks.”

The new classics, right up there with readin’, wrtin’, and ‘rithmetic.

Never fear. The course will start with a close examination of the race-based oppression by the New Black Panther Party and their flunkies in the AG’s office.
