Comments
How does a Monday afternoon posting of information (the detailed interim plan) fit with this policy? How is the public to sign up for comment on material not yet posted?
peeved parent
Again, as Charlie says, the Board and staff seem to pick and choose when to enforce policy.
After October too many SPS teachers can no longer tolerate black children in the classrooms,
and the Black parents "no longer care about their child's education".
This year we will forecast SPS actions and reactions
and the White Seattle Community it represents.
• Soon the Special Education Referrals will begin;
• Soon the calls to the Principal offices of whining voice women begging for help because Imani, Nia, and Kwanzaa are out of control will start.
• Soon Mr. Bellamy will comment over his Starbuck latte how scare he is of aggressive black mothers.
• Soon request for the expulsion of dark skin 5 year old kindergarteners will begin.
• By December another year of abuse of black children in SPS will be in full court press and Board Meetings will be constructed how not to allow anyone for calling the abuse out.,
afterall a lot of white women get paid in Seattle if black children have deficits and fail.
Seattle the progressive city of the Northwest, believes in the ‘new civil rights’, know how to hug a tree, can keep a black dog from harm, but can’t find the humanity, equity to educate a Black Child!
November 1st starts a count down for the number of black, red and brown children thrown from their classrooms, forced out of schools, segregated in remedial classes, refused entry into the “Faux Advanced Placement” classes that outside the U.S. most 'high performance students' couldn't pass a math or literacy test.
We think the School Board should get their paperwork in order; perhaps this will be the year black parents may stop a racist institution from the child and youth abuse.
Perhaps this the year that our tax dollars are no longer spent to educate white kids at a black child’s expense?
Perhaps this is the year for ‘class action’ to shut the own education system down?
Perhaps this is the year that we understand that the back yards of Eastern Washington has no intellectual ability to educate black children?
Perhaps this the year that WE understand that white woman 'gate-keeping' Seattle has no desire for children of color to achieve above their own and that the self esteem of these women are aligned with some children losing.
Perhaps this is the year that we understand how the "denigrating southern black bourgeois class" in the Emerald City is paid to legitimize the discrimination of dark children and only in Seattle is an AFRICAN AMERICAN MUSEUM WHITE!
So this year to the SPS District Board, we have already forecast your actions and that they are designed only for those 'white actors' who can speak Standard English, have typical abilities, healthy incomes and not too much melanin; for you have done this for over 2 decade to the point that even your own children can't achieve the learning outcome. Have you reached to low, we think so.
And to the privilege of injustice stop believing your own lies. No one believes white children are smarter, or parents try harder, or your community actually deserve the better resources because if that was true why do you work so d*mn hard to keep the UNEVEN PLAYING FIELD.
Any cheat can win a game, but do he/she really become a winner?
Are you referring to district staff or Seattle women in general?
Matthew, sure they are, why would you say that?
Sorry for inflicting my confusion on everyone :)
