A small but growing body of research shows minorities tend to do better in class and face higher expectations when taught by teachers from their racial or ethnic group, said the National Collaborative on Diversity in the Teaching Force, a partnership led by six groups.

"Teachers of color" often serve as role models and cultural brokers who help students connect to their school through shared identities, group leaders said.

I'm confused, aren't they then saying that ideally students should be taught by teachers of the same race as themselves. Therefore schools should be segregated by race with each race of students being taught by a teacher of the same race? Isn't this what was fought against in the 60s? It seems like yet again, liberal thought leads to a contradiction.

Should gays have the right to marry?

So much for journalistic standards, the very title is biased. Gays have the right to marry just like anyone else. But if they are men they must marry a woman and vice versa. Gays and Straights have the exact same rights. The real title should be "Should marriage be changed from a union of man and woman, to any union of two individuals" This much more accurately reflects the issue and should make us ponder, with marriage already in trouble, do we really want to trivialize it anymore by twisting it beyond recognition.

Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., called it "mean spirited" and said it has the potential to be as divisive as the bitter debate over the Martin Luther King jr. holiday

Ok so its mean spirited not to give your families hard earned money away to criminal parasite invaders?

Are we allowed to consider them mean spirited for coming here and demanding we pay them tribute. They are acting like a second wave of conquistadores.

You win my award for most PC post of the day.

I love it how IQ is meaningless and culturally biased and doesnt really measure real differences in IQ. But then when blacks low IQ scores can help keep them from getting executed, suddenly liberals are all for it.

Intellectual consistency please.

Cubs manager Dusty Baker didn't back down Monday when asked about his recent comments that black and Latin players were better suited to play in the heat than white players.

Ok and this is fine, but if someone made a comment about the OBVIOUS superior intellectual performance by whites it would be racist. Argh. Our society is sick.

Sick, why is pathological hatred of all things white not only accepted in our society but encouraged? Statistically blacks are far more overrepresented in basketball than whites are in Nascar, yet no one cares about changing the black face of basketball. Why not? Because a black face is good/beautiful, but a white face is ugly evil and wrong. If that's not racism, what the hell is.

I'm tired of our society teaching whites to hate themselves and be ashamed of their culture.

The next morning the liberal Houston Chronicle was full of articles about "vigilante justice".

Crap like that makes me furious. Its not vigilantism to stop a criminal in the commission of a crime or while fleeing the scene. If the guy came up and shot him a week or so later yeah, but its just INSANE to tell us that you can't defend yourself or others from brutal criminals. This is all part of the liberal agenda though to disarm us and make us dependant victims so that all powerful government can do everything for us. I think this attitude is what made 9-11 possible. People are told never to fight back, do whatever the criminals want, let someone else handle it. If just a handful of people had fought back from the beginning, it all could have been avoided with minimal loss of life.

Clark said Planck followed the teens and was met with about 10 angry youths with bats and sticks.

Ahh the glory of diversity. Before you could only find roving gangs of assaulting youth in the third world.

Not a suprise, liberals are spewing venomous vile hatred and lies towards the only groups that its acceptable to bash and trash without mercy; Whites.

Cheese is my favorite food.

How does Saudi Arabia deal with this problem? Ahh thats right they don't let women drive. If this woman wants to be a good muslim convert maybe she should give up driving, that way she wont need a license. Problem solved.

Black lawmakers say their agenda is stifled

God damn at least these worthless black lawmakers are allowed to even have an 'agenda'. Can you imagine if there was a 'white lawmakers agenda'. instantly it would be denounced as an evil racist conspiracy. Yet when blacks conpsire to gain special benefits for their race, it's noble and great.

The Times is not alone in pushing diversity. The American Society of Newspaper editors (ASNE), which represents the editors of 850 daily newspapers in the U.S., says its primary mission since 1978 has been "increasing diversity in U.S. newspaper newsrooms…" It sponsors "job fairs directed at young journalists of color and seminars for editors on the changing demographics of the U.S." That means increasing pressure to hire more minorities.

I dont understand this. How can the media claim to be fair and objective when they are embracing and pushing a hardline idealogical agenda which endorses mandatory racial discrimination against the majority of Americans?

If this were done, in twenty-five years, there would be no Mexico.

In 25 years, there will be no USA.

I've tried explaining this to my friends, how mass birthrates/immigration is the new form of warfare. Imagine if during WW2, instead of fighting wars the germans had just had tons of kids and sent millions of illegal immigrants into smaller neighboring countries. Its conquest without a war, but still conquest.

We are being conquered, invaded, eradicated, destroyed. This is genocide.

Interesting.

Just as well neanderthals arent around anymore. Can you imagine the affirmative action benefits they would get?

Gouldbourne pointed out that the "white" presidential candidate, Jaclynn Reinhard, is actually "100 percent Spanish," but no one realizes it because she "looks as white as white can be."

Its a great generation we're raising isnt it where kids are taught to be ashamed of being white.

Even though 97 percent of the student body is African-American, we are a diverse and eclectic group of people who come from different parts of the country and the world. We all hold unique and extraordinary experiences.

Im just curious, according to the author, an all black school is plenty diverse and a great place for an education? Why is it that mostly-white schools are considered so horribly undiverse that we need to use mandated systematic racial discrimination in order to get less whites? Is the author implying that blacks are superior to whites and that an all black school is fine, but an all white school isn't?

We were going for irony here. We chose Gandhi as the target of our punishing workout not because he's Indian or 'of color,'

WTF does 'of color' have to do with anything? Guess its just another great opportunity to play the race card and bash whites. I thought white was a color but I guess not.

average european woman has about 1.4 kids in her lifetime. that means every generation 1/3rd of the pop is gone. Combine that with sky high third world birthrates and massive immigration/asylum and you have a recipe for genocide and complete population replacement. its very likely that we will see a muslim majority europe in our lifetime.
