Is Anti-White Racism Occurring in Richland 2?

This headline in The Daily Wire causes me to wonder what might be happening in Richland 2 School District.

School Wouldn’t Let Her Son Opt Out Of Class That Promotes Anti-White Racism. 

Now She’s Suing.

Is this coming to a school near you? Read the article. Be on the alert. What are your children telling you about their school experience?

Why would I ask such a question? How could I think such would happen right here in Richland County?

Well, I look at the composition of the school board. The composition of the administration. The racial make-up of appointments as Principals. The effort to put a teacher at the front of the class who "looks like the students." The superintendent's pet project - hiring 100 Premier Men of Color. (This is apparently his personal project and never approved by the School Board, because he reminded the board one evening that he is not evaluated on it.)

What happened to hiring the best available personnel for the money you have in the budget?

And my thought is, "Just wait until the students get in the real world, where they will make up 13% of the population, not 80%."

Last year I was asked, "Did you hear her (a school board member) call you a racist?"

And this year, when a different school board member wrote to me, "It's unfortunate that your motives are seemingly racially motivated with,  a poor attempt to hide behind pretending that you are not a racist by using a beard / beards to cover your true intentions and hateful nature." 

What does that even mean?

Wouldn't any proper beard feel insulted and highly indignant?

Critical Race Theory - coming to Richland 2?

If a new Secretary of the U.S. Dept. of Education espouses the idiotic ideas of critical race theory and they start filtering into Richland 2, parents are encouraged to wake up fast and find out what's going on. And speak out loudly to squash it. And what if it's already here (and you don't even know it)?

This article described one possible contender for that job. 

I suspect parents don't even know what is being crammed into the heads of Richland 2 students by their teachers. 

Dumb ideas like The 1619 Project (Richland 2 still has not responded to my October request) and any teachings or reference to a book titled White Fragility must be stopped at the curb. Liberals and the Left are trying to re-write history and put the USA on a bed of sand, instead of a foundation of rock.

What are students learning about socialism?

What are students in Richland 2 schools learning about socialism? 

With the strong influence of liberals and the Left among teachers and staff, are the students learning enough? It is shocking to me that the percentage of young adults favoring socialism is so high.

I am currently reading United States of Socialism, by Dinesh D'Souza. This book should be required reading by all students (and adults). 

His is a view of socialism that is needed to counter to teachings that students are probably getting in our schools.

Buy it or borrow it from the Richland County Library.

Coming soon to a school near you?

Is there any chance that this garbage is coming to Richland School District Two?

Read this article about what is happening in Seattle (and other cities).

Are any Richland 2 teachers or staff getting a sniff of "white privilege"? "spirit murder" of black children? systemic violence? gender-reference nonsense? race-labeling? anti-racist pedagogy? 

It's a good thing I am not a white teacher in schools these days. The first time some trainer yelled at me that I was a racist, I'd get up and walk out. The second time? Take a guess.

How big a deal is racism in Richland 2 school district right now? That is the discussion that is needed. nd does it exist only because of the talk that is generated by the leadership? What if it doesn't exist EXCEPT for the talk about it?

I didn't have the stomach or the patience to stick it out through last Tuesday's special-called meeting. The recorded version of the meeting starts with Mr. Manning's call to order. That happened after nine (9) minutes of silent waiting during unexplained technical difficulties. Watching the recorded version, you wouldn't know about that delay, because it was edited out.

The duration of the special-called board meeting was over two hours! Did they all just sit there like sheep? Did Helen Grant feed them anything that resembled the content of the article about Seattle schools?

"Dr." Jill Biden's degree and Richland 2's Three Ed.D's

In this news article about Jill Biden's degree and how she is called "Dr." Biden, one particular comment stands out.

"pete192" wrote:

"I have this same academic degree, The Doctor of Education (EdD). First, and as a minor correction to a few comments here, the EdD candidate does not do a "dissertation" but rather the shorter and far less strenuous "thesis." Also an EdD is NOT a PhD which is far far more difficult and requires a much higher set of test scores (which i was unable to achieve so settled for EdD). I most wish to point out here that upon graduation my school and my advisors sent me a kind and cordial but firm letter, instructing me that the EdD was an academic credential, and that i must refrain from asking anyone to call me "doctor," or put such a title on any correspondence or use it in any setting whatsoever outside the academy. In other words i [sic] one is employed in a school and teaching then DURING that work you are absolutetly [sic] entited [sic] to Dr. But once you depart the campus any given day, the Dr is not a valid title. Ever. Period. Stop using it "Dr" Jill unless and until you are teaching on a campus."

The Richland 2 school board has three women who are addressed as "Dr." at school board meetings.

I suggest it is time to begin addressing them as "Trustee (last name)" or "Ms. (last name)". 

Thoughts, anyone?

Name-change - Abraham Lincoln H.S., San Francisco

When I read that Abraham Lincoln High School in San Francisco was going to change its name, my first thought was, "Those jerks!" 

Why is it going to do that? Because, they think, Lincoln didn't do enough for blacks.

Oh, really?

Then today I came across this video by Dinesk D'Souza. I think he's right. What do you think? Post your thoughts in Comments below.

Should Board Members pay for meals?

When box dinners are provided for board members and staff at board meetings, should board members have to pay for them? Or have the price added to their taxable W-2 monthly income?

How much does a box dinner cost from Schlotsky's? $12.00 with delivery?

I think the part that "got" me at the December 8th board meeting was the board member who carried out two boxed meals. If a dinner is provided and eaten at the meeting, then maybe, m-a-y-b-e, the taxpayers could bear that cost.

When a board member carries out two meals, that's a no-pass from me. Was she taking them home? Feed family? Eat them herself? 

That's not what taxpayer money is for.

If the District is over-ordering, then it should cut down its future orders.
