A Colorado school principal is apologizing after he mailed parents a letter informing them that an after-school tutoring program was for non-whites only.
Andre Pearson, the principal at Mission Viejo Elementary School in Aurora, also left a voice mail message confirming that the program excluded whites. “It’s focused for and designed for children of color,” Principal Pearson said in a voicemail to parent Nicole Cox. “If we have space for other kids who have needs, we can definitely meet those needs.” The voicemail was obtained by CBS-4 News in Denver. “I was infuriated,” Cox told the television station. “I didn’t understand why they would include or exclude certain groups.” Video and more at link Fuck you Whities! |

We need an animated .gif of a white kid screaming "that's racist!".
Somebody get to work on this, I'll be back in a few hours to check your progress. |

Could be no whites need any academic help.
ETA Or it could just be racism. |
|
I wish I could say I was shocked by this, but for some reason I'm not.
|
|
Just wait a week - there'll be plenty of no-shows and drop outs, and plenty of openings for clear people.

This is what we get living in a world where the perceived solution to racism is more racism.

Things will go further in this direction before its over IMO.

I'd be calling for his job. That's exactly what would happen if this involved a program for only white students.

In before the "champion of diversity" to make a condescending with a sprinkle of strawman post.

Every parent needs to re register their kid as a minority there
Fuck them |

Is white a color or the absence of color? It's the absence of tutoring, apparently. |

Just the man keepin the white man down. More truth in that than most want to believe! |

I'd be calling for his job. That's exactly what would happen if this involved a program for only white students. Along with a federal lawsuit. But because it was for colored students only, it's just a black eye for the school (pun intended). |

I dont see the problem. You don't see a problem with excluding students from tutoring based solely on the color of their skin? |

Most people here see no problem with that.
"Find another tutor!" - they'd say. |
|
Quoted: Is white a color or the absence of color? White is the balance of all colours; black is also the balance of all colours, where that balance is zero. And colour has a "u". |

This is what happens when our "leaders" want to keep our eye off the ball.
If the average person just took a step backward and observed for one second what was acually going on, all would be revealed. It's getting harder and harder to have any faith in our fellow man anymore. The dumbing down is working at break neck speed. |

My child is a color. She's pale with blond hair and blue eyes. Those are colors
Norwegian is a minority, right? |
|

You can also safely assume they will not take Asian or Indian children either. Those kids are just born smarter than everyone else. Why should they ever need any help from anybody?

And as someone who has around 125 students a year, I'd say that reasoning is wrong. Education will mirror the values of the community from which the student comes. I have as many weak Caucasian students as I have weak Black Students. Moreover, my top five students are Black. |
