Tomorrow, when you bring up the woke takeover of public schools, those who disagree will ask you to name an example. They will pretend not to hear thousands of stories like this. They will pretend not to know any of the thousands of teachers who have bravely spoken up. They will obfuscate and tell you how CRT is a college class. They will lie to your face like a psychopath. This isn’t about proof. This is about a takeover, and we all need to understand that reality.
Rochester School of the Arts teacher Patrick Rausch allegedly gave pieces of cotton to all of his seventh-grade students last week and instructed them to pick the seeds out of the cotton as part of an assignment, according to two parents of students in the class. Rausch allowed White students in the class to throw their cotton away and forgo the assignment to work on their Chromebooks, Precious Morris, mother of a 13-year-old student, told CNN on Sunday.
Morris said that when her daughter Ja’Nasia Brown, who is Black, attempted to throw her cotton away, Rausch allegedly said she was not allowed to do so and if she did, she would receive a poor grade on the assignment. Morris said Rausch’s actions were rude and disrespectful.
“He is making a mockery out of slavery,” Morris said.
“I never would have thought a teacher would do such things. When you send your kid to school, you are sending them to school in the hands of those teachers.” Another mother, Vialma Ramos-O’Neal, said her 13-year-old son Jahmiere O’Neal was taught the same lesson by Rausch in a separate social studies class. He is half Black and half Puerto Rican, she said.Both parents are calling for Rausch’s teacher’s license to be revoked.Rausch, who is White, told CNN he had no comment about the allegations or the ongoing school investigation.CNN has reached out to the school for comment.
In a letter sent to the families of impacted seventh-graders, Rochester School of the Arts said it is investigating the incident and is interviewing students about Rausch’s conduct. A substitute teacher has been assigned to the class in the interim, and the school has made counselors available for students “who may need to discuss the situation,” the letter states.In a statement to CNN, Rochester Board of Education President Cynthia Elliott said “in a District of black and brown students, it is important to be sensitive of the historical framework by which our students are engaging and learning,” Rochester Board President Cynthia Elliott said in a statement.
My father taught me a memorable lesson when I was about ten years old (75 years ago). He arranged for me, my younger sister, and my two cousins my age to meet his cousin in the cotton field to pick cotton. It was Saturday morning-our play day. We worked that Saturday morning. Hot! Hurt my fingers! Balance was difficult pulling the cotton sack! At noon they weighed my cotton and paid me 26 cents! That was a brilliant life lesson taught to me by a wonderful, caring father. Your story seriously worries me! As a retired school principal, I need to hear more, please.
What is this wokie trying to pull? Since when is picking cotton a black slave thing?
My dad is 100% Slovenian but like the half honky that insured the electron of President Trump I’m a half breed. – My mom was born and raised in North Carolina and she grew up a share cropper (She is White, BTW) She picked cotton for can see to can’t see 6 days a week and also picked and barned tobacco where her and here entire family worked hand and hand with black sharecroppers. . We lived on the East side of Cleveland but when my dad got his vacation we would always go down to NC and to see my Mom’s family. While we were there I barnned tobacco and even on time we were there for the cotton season and I helped bail the stuff. = Point is, Neither my Mother nor me or my sister ever felt like we slaves. – That was just the work they did down there and no more remarkable then my dad going to work every day at Graphite Bronze (Cleveite Corp)
This assbag is just another snotball trying to stir up trouble and hate where non exists.
Although it was rapidly becoming a non issue what was left of “race relations” was going along just fine until Mitt Witt threw the election and that half honky got into the White House. He did everything he could to stir up trouble and drive a wedge between the races and far as I’m concerned is still pulling brandon’s strings.
Ass far as this woke “teacher” is concerned should not be fired, He should get a little in service OJT and be shown what many black men felt when they were lynched. …. Maybe whip him to death as an example of how most of the country, both black and white feel about CRT. The only thing critical about it should be putting rotten SOBs like this guy in the hospital in CRITICAL condition. LEAVE US ALONE. We can decide for ourselves who we want to associate with and who we should like and who we should hate….Just like before the half honky where racism was collapsing of it’s own weight and it will do so again if we get rid of ALL the wokies. Once again, LEAVE US ALONE.
