Oregon school district spends $100k per year to teach 'white privilege'

Oregon school district spends $100k per year to teach 'white privilege' - The College Fix
Every year, teachers and administrators in the Gresham-Barlow School District in Gresham, Oregon, attend a week-long “Coaching for Educational Equity” conference.

Run by the Oregon Center for Educational Equity (OCEE) at a cost of about $100,000, school personnel are treated to the all-too common progressive concept that “all white people are racists, whether they realize it or not, and that racism permeates American society and the nation’s education system.”

EAG News.org reports:

The theory says that school curricula, instructional methods and disciplinary policies are hopelessly based on the norms of white culture, for the exclusive benefit of white students. It teaches that black students cannot possibly succeed unless K-12 education is modified and customized to their supposed culture.

The “white privilege” crowd claims that fundamental ideals of American society, like hard work for personal gain and personal ownership of property, are products of white culture and completely foreign to black students.

That means schools that try to prepare black children for success in the American free market economy are spinning their wheels, because black culture is collectivist in nature. The obvious political message is that black kids will only thrive in a socialist economy.

One section of the conference manual – titled “What is CFEE?” – offers the following summary statement:

“… Many white people in Oregon have no idea that our schools and state are immersed in white culture and are uncomfortable and harmful to our students of color, while also reinforcing the dominant nature of white culture in our white students and families.”

Another section suggests that academic and behavioral standards (presumably for minority students) should be adjusted, because the failure is in the expectation, not in the outcome.

For example, schools should be “examining their own beliefs and practices when students don’t meet standards,” the conference manual says.

Instead of “controlling or teaching discipline to students,” schools should be “changing school practices that alienate students and lead to disruptions,” the manual says.

Translation: If minority kids act badly or flunk a test, it must be the fault of the school and its policies.

‘Alliance in Tatters’: Shocking Accusations From Former Israeli Ambassador About His Treatment by Obama Admin | TheBlaze.com

‘Alliance in Tatters’: Shocking Accusations From Former Israeli Ambassador About His Treatment by Obama Admin | TheBlaze.com:

"Among the revelations by former Ambassador Michael Oren, according to accounts by those who read the book: how he initially got the cold-shoulder from then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after asking to meet her; how State Department staffers cheered as they secretly listened in on a meeting during which the deputy secretary excoriated him over the building of Israeli homes in the West Bank and Jerusalem; and hearing a comment from President Barack Obama to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu suggesting he had no problem with the then pro-Hamas Islamist Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan."

Captain Fred Bertsch shares his experience with government "protection".

From Facebook:
"Here is a little lesson/experience from me which young people may benefit from:
I have been retired from the Military for 12 years and last worked for the government 7 years ago.
My personal information was compromised in this latest OPM hacking.
This is the third time my information has been compromised by the government in the last 7 years.
I have a nice letter from them providing me with a 18 months of identity protection "for my convenience" and am told that the letter should not be construed as the government confessing to any wrong doing.
If you think government is the answer to any of your issues, I suggest strongly that you think again.
From my experience government does little well and is only useful for those things the public cannot do on their own such as defense of the nation.
Everything else is done half-assed.
I am not anti-government, just anti-government-in-my-business.
Don't be fooled by the politicians that promise you rose gardens.
Government is a fire that is useful but must be contained or it is dangerous."

Revolving door on cells has violent consequences for Flint, analysis shows | MLive.com
FLINT, MI – Reeling from the panicked phone call telling him that his son had been shot, James Melton sped toward Flint wondering if his son would live or die.
There had been a fight at a house party.
Shots had been fired and now doctors were frantically trying to keep Nigel Melton from becoming the city's 69th homicide of 2012.
The weeks and months that followed would be filled with questions, including this:
Why were twin brothers free to shoot his son when they had already shown a history of violence? 
In fact, the twins were just two of the people who passed through a revolving door on prisons and jails that has had violent consequences for the city of Flint.
A Flint Journal analysis of homicide cases filed in 2012 -- the deadliest year in Flint history with 68 slayings – found nearly 70 percent of those charged had previous felony convictions..."

“But let’s be clear: At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries. It doesn’t happen in other places with this kind of frequency. And it is in our power to do something about it.”


And it's in my power to fight for my rights!!

There are risks you take when you live in a free society.  Not knowing every detail about the person next to you is one.  Do you want to live free or do you want to live in a controlled environment where everything is provided for you?  That's called a prison! 

Everyone is perfectly safe in prison, right?  No one ever gets killed or hurt.  There are cameras and guards and only the elite (guards) have guns.  With so much protection, no one could possibly get hurt or die in prison.  

America, we have to decide, are we going to continue to give up our rights for magic beans?  Which by the way, can't and won't protect you. But they will dazzle and amaze you as your rights disappear.  Once your protection is gone, you will be at the mercy of one, super powerful guard.

Marijuana Growers Face 90 Percent Federal Tax Rate, As Deductions for Expenses Not Allowed by IRS

Marijuana Growers Face 90 Percent Federal Tax Rate, As Deductions for Expenses Not Allowed by IRS | Somewhat Reasonable:
At a briefing last week in Washington for conservative activists, marijuana entrepreneurs reported that per the federal tax code, any business that sells a Schedule I or Schedule II drug — narcotics under federal law — cannot deduct their business expenses from their taxes.
That increases costs dramatically for the erstwhile, legal (in some states) pot growers. 
“Because marijuana businesses are not allowed to deduct their expenses, in certain circumstances, legal marijuana businesses can pay federal income tax rates of nearly 90 percent, while the Small Business Administration estimates that many small businesses pay an effective rate of 20 percent,” a grower said during the background briefing last week.

Transforming the Political Landscape: Unions Join Conservatives in Fighting Obamatrade

Transforming the Political Landscape: Unions Join Conservatives in Fighting Obamatrade:

"Today, the majority of all union members (51 percent) work in government. More than twice as many union members now work in the U.S. Postal Service as in the domestic auto industry. This represents a historical reversal, given that President Roosevelt had reservations about public sector labor unions representing government employees, and in particular, opposed collective bargaining by public workers.

According to Breitbart, polls show that despite unions providing the foot-soldiers and cash to get many Democrats elected, over 60 percent of Democrats support job killing trade deals, compared to about 50 percent of Republicans. This explains why each of the last four job killing trade deals was negotiated by a Democrat President:"
