SHOCKER: “White Privilege” Curriculum In Schools Is Actually Making Things Worse

The next time you hear some social justice nut crying about "white privilege" and how white people need to be educated on their microaggressions and ingrained racial biases and whatever other crap these elitist windbags make up to push their backwards philosophy on society – I want you to remember this little experiment from Minnesota.

According to this, schools in the St. Paul area have spent thousands of dollars to implement curriculum to teach students about "white privilege" and how super-icky white people inherently are (even if they don't realize it). The curriculum and programs are a result of consultations from the Pacific Educational Group (PEG) out of San Francisco, which St. Paul school districts have partnered with. Part of what PEG does is try "to help public schools deal with achievement and disciplinary issues involving black students."

PEG packages and sells the concept of victimization, for a very high price.

 

It claims that the American education system is built around white culture, tradition and social norms – aka “white privilege” – to the unfair detriment of black students.

 

PEG believes that black students will only achieve if school curricula are customized to meet their cultural specifications. It also rejects the concept of using suspensions or expulsions to discipline black students.

Oh boy – I can see where THIS is going.

PEG's consultations go beyond advising on classroom lectures (but that's bad enough). After consulting with PEG, districts began enacting policies that discourage administrators from disciplining black students, even if a student's behavior required discipline. And, as you can probably guess, that lack of discipline was almost a free pass for chaos to ensue. Here is just one story that the article cites (originally printed in this article, which has TONS more horror stories about students beating up other students and even teachers with little or no consequence) –

A  local publication called CityPages recently told the story of Becky McQueen, an educator at St. Paul’s Harding High School.

 

“Last spring, when she stepped into a fight between two basketball players, one grabbed her shoulder and head, throwing her aside,” the CityPages article explained. “The kid was only sent home for a couple of days.

 

“In March, when a student barged into her class, McQueen happened to be standing in the doorway and got crushed into a shelf. The following week, two boys came storming in, hit a girl in the head, then skipped back out. One of them had already been written up more than 30 times.

 

“Yet another student who repeatedly drops into her class has hit kids and cursed at an aide, once telling McQueen he would “fry” her ass. She tried to make a joke of it — ‘Ooh, I could use a little weight loss.’ Her students interjected: ‘No, that means he’s gonna kill you.'”

 

McQueen now has her students use a secret knock on the classroom door, so she will know who to allow in, the article said.

 

“There are those that believe that by suspending kids we are building a pipeline to prison. I think that by not, we are,” McQueen told CityPages. “I think we’re telling these kids you don’t have to be on time for anything, we’re just going to talk to you. You can assault somebody and we’re gonna let you come back here.”

And parents have been taking their kids out of schools where these policies have been implemented – and not just white kids, either –

The families of the district have clearly had enough.

 

Over the past four years, as PEG has cast its influence in St. Paul, the number of students living in the district but attending non-district schools, has increased from about 9,000 to 12,000, according to Joe Nathan, executive director of the Minneapolis-based Center for School Change.

 

Two-thirds of those students come from low income families, or families of color, so it’s not just a typical case of “white flight,” Nathan said.

 

“The most basic thing our schools must offer is the safety of the children,” Nathan told the Star Tribune. “A significant number of families are saying their children do not feel safe in the schools. They don’t feel safe even going to the bathroom.”

So yes – tell me more about how it's white privilege that's ruining our society and how we have to coddle black kids to make up for injustices from decades and centuries ago. THAT'S going to make everything better. Clearly.
