Seems like the guy was well intentioned, but forgot some important things. Like how you still have to work your ass off and do your homework. When you exclude other colored students, then you make the experience all about being black, and not about working hard to get there.
Equal opportunity now applies to non-gringos only :(
"Equal opportunity" always applied to non-gringos only, my friend
if it were reversed, they would have burned the school down and looted the town.
"i gotta gets me a new tv."
fire the fucking racist...white kids would be interested in a scientist too. teaching is supposed to be beyond color and say: "hey that guy is a scientist, not a "black" scientist."
and people wonder why progress is soooo slow when it comes to racial issues.
but, of course, since he is black there will be a small slap on the wrist, and nothing will be heard after that
If the guy was white he would've been fired and accused of being KKK!
There'll not even be a slap on the wrist as everyone will be afraid that he'll pull the racism card!
Equal opportunity my ass!
Maybe he was trying to teach the class on profiling [Tooth]
He should be fired for selectively picking which students get an education. That's the simplest form of the action he took.
I agree, his line of thinking was well intentioned... however, as soon as he secluded certain students and mentioned the "African American" Scientist, it turned into a racial line of thought. There are some depraved white, yellow, red, etc kids that I'm positive would've loved to be inspired by the rocket scientist, regardless of his color.Quote:

When they get the money however, it rarely actually goes to the right places... Big screen TVs for the rooms, new football equipment, etc. Rarely into teaching, etc.
Personally, I'm tired of it all. I'm to the point where I don't think I care anymore. If I ever get teh priviledge of having my own kids, Lord knows I'll be raising and teaching them as much as possible outside of the school system.
Programs like Equal Opportunity and Welfare are great examples of things that should have been temporary to help grease the wheels of society, then should have been ended asap. Welfare is a bad example because each individual should have a limit, not necessarily the program.
This is the most enlightened thing i have heard all day. Good job Jethro! See ya at the next cross burning!Quote:

I was sent with my unit to the los angeles riots in the spring of 1992. all those people wanted was a reason to loot and riot. it had nothing to do with the subject at hand.
my statement wasnt meant to come across as racist. just funny and somehow all too true. i do believe it is true though.
it's just par for the course of the mindset.
you will be tolerant, OR ELSE
It seems to be a pretty big leap from the story that I read.
The story is about the "African American academic support group". Its an elementary school trip, probably aimed at establishing role models. How you got to rioting and looting I will never know.
"The controversy began last week when the 30 students, members of an African-American academic support group, were taken to hear the rocket scientist, Alec Gallimore, speak at the University of Michigan, where he is an aerospace engineering professor and propulsion lab director."

i was thinking, since it was white kids(or other non black kids) who were being discriminated againsnt, nobody would do anything. the white kids who were sent home with the US flag shirts, they will do nothing. whites just put up with crap. blacks (at least on the news) dont put up with anything. and as soon as something goes wrong. they get involved screaming kicking and that soon becomes the rioting.
that is why white america is dead or dying.
and I wouldnt probably be classified as a white american.
Until we stop subdividing our species by breed we're not going to stop acting like animals.
