Here's what comrade De Blasio is doing to the public schools system in NYC.
In a new plan announced by Mayor de Blasio, parents were not-so-subtly warned that they needed to get on board with the new plan or else:
We were presented with a slideshow that included a photo of white adults snarling at black schoolchildren in the South in the 1960s—as if only vicious racism could motivate parents to oppose eliminating an admissions system that met superior work with a more challenging placement…
One training slide was titled “White Supremacy Culture.” It included “Perfectionism,” “Individualism,” “Objectivity,” and “Worship of the Written Word” among the white-supremacist values that need to be disrupted. In the name of exposing racial bias, the training created its own kind.

Always find it interesting when a liberal faces the reality of the policy positions they've been supporting.

Blasio and his merry band of HondoBros are control freaks, fascists, immoral, and racist.
Is this normal back east?
So the opposite of every democrat today.
Good thing there's a lot of Catholic schools in NYC.
Kids that have been properly educated, not indoctrinated, are given a huge advantage by default.
Let the lemmings be lemmings.
To Bob’s point...2 family members recently retired from teaching in Seattle after 30ish years.
Basically after working in the lowest income schools their entire career, they finally had enough and walked away. Imagine dedicating your life to helping kids from poor areas with little to no parental support only to have some 29 year old administrator fresh out of grad school tell you you’re racist simply for being a white person working in a predominantly black school and having the audacity to send a kid that attacked a staff member to the principal’s office.
Supposedly there’s some statistic that black kids get sent to the principal and removed from the classroom more often (let’s assume that’s true for the sake of discussion, although I don’t know if that’s actually legit) for disciplinary action. So instead of examining why that might be, they just juke the stats by calling the teachers inherent racists and not allowing the black kids that act out to be punished. And if teachers don’t comply with this policy they retaliate with poor performance reviews and essentially sabotage their records. And guess what? The kids figure it out real quick and the classroom devolves into chaos.
The entire thing is just papering over the actual problem and pretending it no longer exists. Pretty sad. It’s like a season of The Wire.
