... as a white male in society I am given a lot of privilege that I didn’t earn

What exactly is that privilege? Stupid me, but as a white male I expect my place in society to be a result of my intelligence, knowledge and character. No one has ever handed me anything because I was white.

Standard method - 1+ 1 = 2
Common Core Method - 1/1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 2

He has confused the luxury of tenure with race privilege.

Yes, and he has confused the privileges granted to members of the liberal elite by their fellow travelers with a privilege granted as a result of race. The leftists in academia ascribe their many privileges to race and sex but they are really due to the actions of their fellow leftists.

Does anyone really believe that the poor, white, conservative truck driver from West Virginia gets the kind of treatment the professor gets?

[IronJack]

This sums up the liberal mentality. Since I suffer from some pathological delusion of guilt, I must project it onto all others in the arbitrary "class" assigned me by my marxist overlords. Then I must labor to debase myself -- and, by extension, all the others in my class -- to earn the favor of my masters.

Wrong solution to the wrong problem by the wrong people.

[Old Sarge]

Needs to be thrown in Leftists’ faces each and every time - “Common Core is RAAAAACIST!”

[freeandfreezing]

What exactly is that privilege?

The privilege shared among those on the left. The professor gets and probably gives a lot of benefits based on politics.

Ascribing the preferences he gets to race and sex is just another liberal lie. In reality he benefits from his politically correct viewpoint and how he plays along with the rest of the liberals controlling academia.

It began to fall long before our generation.

I’m wishing I had black prilege about now. Free food, housing, healthcare, education, etc...Race card, no taxes, free legal representation by Al Sharpton, Inc and co-horts, automatic sympathy if you commit a crime, license to commit a crime, looting squad avaible 24 /7 a day if you are charged with a crime or punished by tha man, etc...

1+1=2 if you are a straight white male. Otherwise, it equals whatever you want as long as you explain how the answer makes you feel.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

This nation is completely lost.

Funny how liberals are always screaming “Keep your laws off my body” and how they detest people of faith “pushing their religion on others”, but by gosh they have no compunction about jamming their dogmatic garbage down everyone else’s throat. And notice how Liberal ALWAYS use the full weight and force of the government to jam their agenda down on everyone.

Essentially, what he is saying is Black people cannot meet the standard; can you think of anything MORE racist?

Pook makes me want to.

" . . . all kids deserve an “equal opportunity to learn how to read”

We raised seven children. All of them could read by age 4. By age 12 they were reading college level books.

None ever attended a public school. My wife is a high school graduate with only a few hours of college work. She taught all of our children to read, write, pass advanced grammar exams. Our eldest son is a degreed and trained linguist. Our eldest daughter is a published poet.

When I hear people talk about "rights" to be educated in any manner, I have no sympathy whatsoever. Our country has good libraries just about anywhere. There are people who love to teach others how to read well.

Really, there is no excuse for not educating one's self in this country.

Not going to give too many details, but I overheard that in a certain nearby county, young black males will always get a plea bargain for crimes, no matter how heinous, because the jury pool will nullify any attempt to hold them accountable.

Call it by it’s proper name...Commie Core.

[ken5050]

Whatever happened to ebonics?

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Common Core should be renamed Least Common Core Denominator.

[theBuckwheat]

Homeschooling yet?

It is not for every family, but you would be surprised at how far most parents can successfully educate their child before it might be better to seek outside help.

But today, that outside help still can be a source that allows the child to learn at home. For example:

And then there are private for-profit outfits like:
