I’m reminded of this when I see the racist policy implemented in a Minneapolis school district. This policy states that instead of teacher layoffs or relocations being decided on seniority, schools in this district can ignore that and dismiss someone with seniority, if a teacher of color would be laid off.In other words, reverse discrimination. This sounds eerily similar to the arguments made by Ibram X. Kendi in his book How to Be an Antiracist.This school district is looking to correct past discrimination by calling for and enacting present and future discrimination.When things like this take place, I can’t help but to think about my mother. My mother worked as a counselor and teacher in Alabama starting in the late 60s.I’m sure she dealt with a lot of racism and discrimination. Undaunted, she was determined to fight through that because there were children that needed to be educated. She did not allow present discrimination to become future victimization.Yet, in today’s culture, teachers unions are using schools as platforms for virtue signaling. They could really care less about a child learning how to read or write.Teachers unions see their roles as the vehicle through which social justice will be implemented in the schools.
