Systemic Racism in Public Ed

Starting with free college for all but Caucasians and Asians, graduates apply to school districts where every job description overtly claims “bilingual preferred”, as PC speak for ‘melanin preferred’. By tossing out a “basket of deplorables” the supervisor can pass to the hiring committee only those candidates who will most likely promote the propaganda of the agency.

When a supervisor packs a hiring committee with like minded people to seek a candidate of a particular skin color, sexual orientation, and political bias, the dogmas of that supervisor can be readily indoctrinated to the students via teachers echoing critical race theory and other distorted practices of equity.

For example, The Educator Equity Advisory Group demands “School districts must change the way they hire staff and then retain staff of color.” Their recommendations have been adopted by Portland Teacher Program (PTP), “PTP is committed to diversity, equity, . . . “ All levels of PTP are required to attend seminars, colloquia and other meetings; including, “how white privilege impacts education in America”.

Their goal, as broadly adopted by districts is “Structural Diversity: The roles for personnel by gender, race, ethnicity, first language, salary, age, physical ability, and sexual orientation. Goal: Increase the number of educational leaders in higher position by each of the categories.”

The Educator Equity Advisory Group trusts that young, dark skin lesbians with disabilities will hire more young, dark skin lesbians with disabilities, whose native language is not English, to teach youth.

Recognizing the power of cronyism, the Educator Equity Advisory Group strategizes, “It is critical that hiring and placement procedures and practices are analyzed and those responsible for hiring receive training in cultural responsiveness and implicit bias. Diversifying the staff responsible for district recruitment and hiring can also improve practice.” Political speak for “Fill the HR department with people of color and implicitly bias them against hiring white people”. 

For example, Oregon HB 2001 requires school districts implementing a reduction in force to retain those with less seniority if they have cultural or linguistic expertise, e.g., a mother tongue other than English.

Oregon racism is modeled after more progressively liberal states. Martin’s Dream that people “be judged on the quality of their character, rather than the color of their skin” is actively being killed by liberal democrats and their naive supporters.

Since personal bias is inescapable, it should be admitted up front. Rather than hide behind catch words such as equity and justice, simply state, “We practice systemic racism and sexual discrimination in our hiring practice of avoiding white male heterosexuals.” Furthermore, “current employees, who are non-compliant with the recent cultural shifts toward gender fluidity and critical race theory, are placed on a Plan of Assistance towards union sanctioned dismissal.”

In the face of such state sanctioned systemic racism, how can a public K-12 school student escape into self guided education?

Some Cultures are Better

In our study of world history and sociology, we summize that some ideas and practices are better than others. 

For example, when the human sacrifice done to appease the Aztec gods was replaced by Cortez in 1521, a better culture followed, one that claimed the sacrifice of Christ was done to appease the Christian God. 

When the Spanish emphasis of power hierarchies, based on blood lines and papal authority, was diminished by the Protestant work ethic, based on the equality exercised by a priesthood of believers, a better culture came to thrive. An entrepreneurial spirit of self governance, unshackled from the dictates of kings and bishops, gave birth to the USA.

When, in 1779, former slave trader, and then clergyman John Newton published his hymn “Amazing Grace”, and influenced the 1785 conversion of Parliament’s William Wilberforce to Christianity, a better culture resulted. Wilberforce was instrumental to ending the slave trade in the British empire in 1833. He forced the East India Company to allow Christian missionaries, such as William Carry, into India. This ended the 1000 year old practice of sati, whereby widows were burned to death on the funeral pier of the deceased husband. A better culture resulted. Carry translated Hindi works into English, sharing botany and other scientific knowledge of the Indian subcontinent with Europe. 

Quakers, and other Christian abolitionists, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, influenced the Union to force an end to slavery in 1863. A better culture resulted. 

When pastor Martin Luther King, shared his dream that one day people will be “judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”, he was sharing a vision for a better culture.  His basis was in the theology that in Christ there “is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female.”

We could proceed to relate how better cultures resulted, such as from the collapse of the atheistic USSR in 1991, which had destroyed churches and killed hundreds of millions of its citizens.

The critical point is that the advance of biblical Christianity leads the betterment of culture. Thus, the sidelining of Christianity results in the worsening of culture.
