Silva attacked the racial-equity discipline gap at its alleged root: “white privilege.” Teachers unfairly punish minority students for “largely subjective” behaviors, such as “defiance, disrespect and disruption,” she told the Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2012. To overcome their biases, teachers must learn “a true appreciation” of their students’ cultural “differences” and how these can “impact interactions in the classroom,” she said.
Silva hired a California-based diversity consultant, the Pacific Educational Group (PEG), to compel St. Paul school staff—from principals to janitors to bus drivers—to confront their own bigotry and to achieve “cultural competence” in working with “black and brown” students. In PEG-inspired “courageous conversations” about race, teachers were instructed to begin every statement with a phrase like “as a white woman, I believe,” or “as a black man, I think.” They learned that “shouting out” answers in class and lack of punctuality are black cultural traits and that what may seem to be defiant student behavior is, in fact, just a culturally conditioned expression of “enthusiasm.”
After implementing “white privilege” training, Silva moved to eliminate what she called the “punishment mentality” undergirding the district’s discipline model. In an effort to cut black discipline referrals, she lowered behavior expectations and dropped meaningful penalties for student misconduct. In 2012, the district removed “continual willful disobedience” as a suspendable offense. In addition, to close the “school-to-prison pipeline,” Silva adopted a new protocol on interactions between schools and the police. The protocol ranked student offenses on five levels and required schools to report only the worst—including arson, aggravated assault, and firearm possession—to police. School officials were strongly encouraged to handle other serious offenses—such as assault, sexual violence, and drug possession—on their own. For a time, the district administration actually tied principals’ bonuses to their track record on reducing black discipline referrals.
Are Trump policies helping Blacks along with everyone else? Are Black economic indicators at historic highs since Trump took office?
Why shouldn't a Black man vote for Trump? Tell us creep
This is the genesis of your confusion.
You assume I'm being political. I'm not. I'm telling you that it's not racist. It could wrong, stupid, mis-informed, right, thoughtful, spot-on, etc. etc.
Black people can vote for Trump. IDRGAF. But if another person takes them to task for it, they're not being racist.
TI just took Kanye to task for it in an interview. They argued about it in-person. TI was not being racist ... at ... all.
If they "take them to task for it" because they believe that to be an authentic and "real" black person you have to vote for Rats, then yes it is racist and you're heavily invested in dodging that point Coug.
No more invested than you are at dodging the very same point. Don't bring that shit. A conservative could take a shit on your mom's head and a democrat could come help her clean it up, and you'd find a way to blame the Rats.
As for the substance of your post, I simply cannot find another way to explain it to you. You think I'm being political, but what I'm doing, instead, is as Race put it, being semantical.
I acknowledged that I get where you guys are going with this, which leads us to the very original point in the other thread: people use terms and categorical claims for their own benefit all the time. Conservatives hate, HATE, the over-use of the concept of racism to explain everything. I just find it a bit ironical that they use it to defend Allen West when a black guy tells West he's a fuck up.
Political? Yes. Racist? No. TI wasn't being racist with Kanye; and Kanye wasn't being racist with Bush.
Why do you continue with this pathetic strawman ass fuck Coug? No one is claiming simply calling Allen West a "fuck up" should get you label as a racist. You've been disabused of this bullshit claim of yours at least half a dozen times now and yet here we are again witnessing you mounting the strawman for one more round.
What funny as all hell is that we just spent 8 years under Obama where any criticism no matter how slight did get that person labeled as a racist. "Chicago" "Golf" hell, accurately calling Obama a liar, all would get you branded as a racist by leftists.
People who say racist shit get labeled racist. Give an example of someone criticizing Obama and being called a racist without making a racist comment. You made the claim, now back it up.
It's shocking what an ignorant dumbfuck you are Hondo. I would guess that when Obama was in office his dick never left Hondo's mouth. So you're claiming that you're unaware of anyone being called a racist simply for criticizing Obama. That's you're claim, right Hondo?
Support your claim. Give examples of people being called racist when just disagreeing with Obama and not saying racist shit.
Hey Coug, can you give me some example of how "red neck America" went right for the racial jugular in responding to a liberal black President? Seems if you really are a racist, then you're not going to care what black person's politics are.
As soon as you give me an example of a liberal racist criticizing Clarence "No Questions" Thomas.
The left doesn't have the type of racism that existed back before the 60s civil rights movement, where they want to turn fire hoses on blacks and stop them from going to school with their kids like their fellow Rat part members did many years ago, but they definitely don't see most blacks as there equals and they have some very racist paternalistic beliefs about blacks.
They excuse behavior and actions by blacks that they would never tolerate or accept if it was being carried out by white people. They are constantly holding blacks to lower standards of behavior and performance because they don't view them as their equals.
Your 2nd paragraph nails the bullseye.
I need proof. Care to have bob cite an example?
What is affirmative action other than a way to hold blacks to lower standards of behavior and performance?
Berkeley High, near where I live, was having the same problem a lot of schools have. High rates of blacks being suspended from school. 20% of the Student body is black but blacks were accounting for 60% of the suspensions. Besides having high rates of fighting and engaging in other behaviors that we get you suspended from school they found that black students are much more likely to "act out" in class. When I looked into examples of "acting out" it included calling your teacher a "bitch" and using racial slurs and profanity in class directed at the teacher. Instead of declaring that kind of behavior unacceptable, Berkeley decided that the answer was to hire more black teachers, and to "educate" their current teachers that "acting out" in class is just part of black culture, very similar to what they tried to do with ebonics.
It's a clear case of defining deviancy down.
Schools all over the country have cut their suspension rates of black students not by eliminating the behavior that caused the student to be suspended in the first place but by allowing more behaviors that would have gotten a student suspended under the old policies.
This scenario, unfortunately, is true, and getting worse all the time.

People who subscribe to this nonsense should be jailed for their own protection.
The beauty of it all is that, despite massive efforts to shift blame and make it seem like the "system" and white people are the problem, everywhere they've implemented these "reforms," the violent behavior, frequency of occurrences and seriousness of the offenses has escalated massively. It happened in Highline, where 30% of the teaching staff bolted after one year of it, many in fear of their safety and lives. It's such an anti-empirical, bankrupt idea, it fails almost instantly, everywhere it's been tried.

Focus on the behavior issues, not the skin color. This fucktarded policy has been implemented all over the cuntry.

No proof.
No lync.
But he nailed it all the same imo.
