CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 18, 2022
JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU’VE HIT BOTTOM WHEN IT COMES TO WOKENESS HERE IS ANOTHER OUTRAGEOUS EXAMPLE.
A MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOL BOARD WANTS TO LAYOFF TEACHERS WHO ARE WHITE AHEAD OF THOSE WHO ARE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR TO MAKE-UP FOR PRIOR RACISM. CREDENTIALS WILL NOT BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. NEITHER WILL EXPERIENCE, TALENT OR HOW MUCH STUDENTS LIKE A TEACHER. ONLY RACE WILL MATTER.
THE MINNEAPOLIS TEACHERS UNION IS ALL-IN ON THIS. IN A STATEMENT, THE UNION SAYS IT SUPPORTS RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF TEACHERS FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS.
AMERICAN KIDS ARE BEHIND OTHER NATIONS IN READING, MATH AND SCIENCE, WHILE TOO MANY GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS FOCUS ON THINGS LIKE THIS. THERE IS ALREADY TALK OF COURT CHALLENGES BECAUSE THE DECISION, IF IMPLEMENTED, IS RACIST ON ITS FACE AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
IT IS ONE MORE REASON STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ARE FLEEING PUBLIC SCHOOLS. 50 THOUSAND STUDENTS HAVE LEFT THE NEW YORK CITY SCHOOLS AND THE PATTERN IS SWEEPING THE COUNTRY. PARENTS NOTICE DRAG QUEENS COMING TO KINDERGARTEN, TRANSGENDER BATHROOMS AND BOYS USING GIRLS LOCKER ROOMS. PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE BECOME LEFT-WING INDOCTRNATION CENTERS. WHERE ARE YOUR KIDS GOING TO SCHOOL? I’M CAL THOMAS.
