My students...
I am a teacher at a middle school with a student body that is about 60% white, 30% Hispanic, and 10% black.
Those 10% of students that are black account for over 80% of the discipline problems at our school. Even as young as 10 (the youngest students we have at our school), the black students are confrontational with teachers and administrators. They talk back, disrespect, and are openly defiant to any white or Hispanic teacher. They will only sit and listen to a black teacher.
And they get it from their parents. The parents act the same way during conferences. Everything is an argument for them. Nothing is their own child's fault. I've even gone so far as to record my classes, so the parents and my boss can see how some of the students (all black) get up in class, wander the room, talk constantly, throw things, and distract the other students. Upon seeing this, the parents of one of those black students threatened to sue the school for the recording. (They can't. All parents sign a waiver about recording at the beginning of the year.) They weren't concerned that their child was causing so many disruptions. They were concerned that the teacher had evidence of it.
The white and Hispanic students are, mostly, respectful of all of the teachers.
Sometimes, I just want to stand in front of the class, and apologize to all of the other students. I want to say that I'm sorry that the black students have no self control and force me to change my lesson plans to accommodate their behavior problems. Any time we spend an entire class period doing worksheets, it's not because I want to. It's because that's the only thing the black students can handle. Group work? Creative work? Open-ended discussions? I've tried them. The black students simply can't handle the lack of structure. So I'm sorry, other students, that the 90% of you have to be punished for the problems of the 10%.
Hmm, noteful com rings a bell!
An educational curriculum that deceives Black Kids that their race are no contributors to civilisation, creates conflict. That same curriculum teaches that an assumed all-white Europe gave the world civilisation. That curriculum does not teach anything inspiring about being from Africa: it poisons the minds of Black Kids and they are reacting. Native America was Black, but Black Kids are taught that their history began with Slave Trade.
Have an adult, one whose hair is not dyed blue and who doesn't wear oversized nerd glasses, read you the OP's post again. This is about the MODERN DAY, little SJW. They are not, in fact, taught that. They come from fragmented homes where "hating on whitey" is the most important part of their social development. THAT is what is important, and what is being largely ignored.
