After reading this blogue, I hope you will not inundate me
with; “thanks” or “Well-done, Del Bloggolo”! Think of this as a public service
to educate you as a reader, I am leaving you on the brink of cutting edge
social awareness.
There is a Harvey Scott K-8 school that has taken on the
ugly face of racism, and what better way than the insidiousness of a
kindergartener’s lunch bag. Yes, those little brown paper sacks of social
inequity that 5 or 6 year olds, all the way up to 12 years old are spewing!
The Peanut Butter Sandwich!
racism at its most delicious |
It seems the principle of the Harvey Scott K-8 school: Verenice
Gutierrez thank God has identified this horrific social injustice, identifying
the peanut butter and jelly sandwich as racist!
Genius Gutierrez |
“What about Somali or Hispanic
students, who might not eat sandwiches?” Gutierrez asked. “Another way would be
to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like
that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.” Hopefully they will
tell us that in English, too, so we really understand.
Of course we cannot stand there with
just peanut butter and jelly, no there is the sexist grilled cheese sandwich,
which I’m sure is an insult to women everywhere. (Cheese, follow me here folks)
How about the ham and cheese, you anti-Semite bigot? Not to mention the
meatball hero, you stereotyping buffoon.
I have to tell you, I was appalled that
my mother made me into a racist, all those years consuming peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches, not to mention grilled cheese, having to now hide my face in shame!
If we all join in together we can! |
Gutierrez instituted "intensive
staff trainings, frequent staff meetings, classroom observations and other
initiatives," to help educators understand their own “white privilege,” in
order to "change their teaching practices to boost minority students’
performance." The first day of the school year for staff, for example, the
first item of business for teachers at Scott School was to have a Courageous
Conversation — to discuss the 'white privilege' peanut butter and jelly conveys,
“Our focus school and our
Superintendent’s mandate that we improve education for students of color, particularly Black and Brown boys,
will provide us with many opportunities to use the protocols of Courageous
Conversations in data teams, team meetings, staff meetings, and conversations
amongst one another,” wrote Gutierrez in a letter to staff.
Of course it shouldn’t end there, no
there is still Apple Pie!
My impression was that the immigrant children
in our schools were here to learn about America, to be assimilated and part of
this culture, to learn and practice English. Once again I was wrong, it is to
put the ridiculous together with the idiocy of over-liberalized boneheads that
seem to be taking over. I think you all better be learning to say the Pledge of
Allegiance in Arabic or Espanol!
