Teachers union: ‘White privilege’ to blame for failing black, Hispanic students

Eag News reports:
If you’re white, you’re racist.

That’s the basis of an American Federation of Teachers Racial Equity Task Force that gathered recently at the Renaissance Hotel in St. Louis, STLToday.com reports.

“In order to face racism, we have to internalize it and understand it,” AFT President Rhonda “Randi” Weingarten said. “Those of us that are white, we have to internalize and understand our own racism. Not just your own privilege, but our own racism and out own biases.”

At the meeting, about 40 members of the task force analyzed how the public school system is racist against black and Hispanic students, building on the “white privilege” movement promoted to schools in recent years.

“White privilege” theory stems from the idea that the public school system is hopelessly stacked against minorities and the only way to change the learning gap and disproportionate suspensions for those students is to cater the system to their “culture.”
Are you a bad parent if you send your kid to government schools populated with crackpots like this?
