Look at what New York City teachers are learning in tens of millions worth of 'implicit bias' training

You might have noticed a couple of posts we’ve done recently that grew out of a 2001 study that seems to be making the rounds still. For instance, we’ve learned that feeling a sense of urgency about things is one of the characteristics of white supremacy and needs to be taken into account by businesses and organizations that truly want to be multicultural.

We also learned that “white supremacy is characterized by perfectionism, a belief in meritocracy, and the Protestant work ethic,” according to an executive who’d been through the training and that the New York City public school system was heavily invested in the training.

How heavily invested? The New York Post reports this week that the school system has sunk $23 million into mandatory implicit bias training for all Department of Education staff.

$23m mandatory training for all DOE staff. “If I had a poor white male student and I had a middle-class black boy, I would actually put my equitable strategies and interventions into that middle class black boy [over the white boy],” a seminar leader said. https://t.co/WNqVlljHpG

Here we go again with Intersectionality BINGO — who’s more marginalized by white culture: the poor white boy or the middle-class black boy? Apparently, for just $23 million, you too can learn the correct answer.

The New York Post reports:

A consultant hired by the city Department of Education told administrators at a workshop that “racial equity” means favoring black children regardless of their socio-economic status, sources said.

“If I had a poor white male student and I had a middle-class black boy, I would actually put my equitable strategies and interventions into that middle class black boy because over the course of his lifetime he will have less access and less opportunities than that poor white boy,” the consultant, Darnisa Amante, is quoted as saying by those in the room.

“That’s what racial equity is,” Amante explained.

An unbelievably racist statement. I hope this POS gets fired.
But as usual he is being enabled by other racists.
Hope springs eternal. I am a strong believer in karma. History will look back and be forgiven for thinking that people in this era collectively lost their minds.

Unbelievable isn’t it?

So much for a merit based system.

Didn’t you read the PowerPoint slide before? Belief in meritocracy is a sign of white supremacism.

The schools are using common core to dumb the kids down so if Hegelian teachers put 2x more energy into one kid that kid will be twice as dumb.

“Disruptive Equity Education Project”??

Well that’s DEEP.

….OMG. THIS is what a politically correct and progressive education from Noe Valley University has become?!?

GASP. How sad.

“Through this process of moving towards racial equity, we will have to pull layers back on who we are. You are going to have to talk about your power and your privilege. You will need to name your privilege.” This is chillingly Maoist, straight out of the Cultural Revolution.

Dismantle the DOE. Cultural Marxists are why we can’t have nice things.

Despicable.

The message: minorities are like disabled people, they have special needs.

Teach this long enough and they'll start to believe it.

Here’s that slide once again for all you white folk out there who want to be more aware of your implicit biases:
