Jane Elliot has made of a career out of demonstrating that middle-class white people are racist so her comments on Prez Trump aren't really a surprise . . . Still, a JoCo School District was caught off guard and was recently forced to apologize after an uproar from middle-class white people . . . File this one under, stuff for housewives to discuss . . .
Shawnee Mission School District Response to Jane Elliott Presentation on Feb. 16, 2017
The SME Diversity and Inclusion Committee, along with six other sponsoring organizations, recently hosted a guest speaker, Jane Elliott, who is an international teacher, lecturer and diversity trainer. Ms. Elliott is best known for her “Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes” exercise that exposes people to the experience of feeling what it’s like to be a minority.
The SME Diversity and Inclusion Committee is committed to promoting cross-cultural understanding, harmony and positive relationships and to raising the awareness of the diversity that exists within our community.
When they invited Mrs. Elliott to speak, the agreed upon agenda supported the Diversity Committee’s values. However, Ms. Elliott veered away from that agenda, and used our forum to share her personal political opinions.
As a district, we do not insert political ideology or personal agendas into anything we present to our students, and we were unaware Ms. Elliott’s presentation would take this direction.
The social studies teachers are well equipped to conduct conversations within the classroom to allow students to express their opinions about Ms. Elliott’s presentation. Conversations will likely include freedom of speech, and how her views are not representative of the district as a whole, and will welcome a healthy dialogue that supports different views.
We apologize for any distress the presentations caused. Please know that our intentions were good, and we regret the outcome of this event.
John McKinney
Principal
Shawnee Mission East High School

Ever notice how "Diversity Training" ends up being about Whites kissing every last Brown Ass they encounter in this life ? The "Benefits Of Diversity" don't exist, at least not for Whites.
ReplyDeleteyoung students are a captive audience, so it's not fair to present one-sided, radical propaganda.
ReplyDeletethe principal of sme should have known better.
Yeah. "Diversity" ends when you disagree with her opinions. Then you are "racist", "bigoted", "intolerant"....take your pick.
ReplyDeleteI have an opinion about her. Can she wear some decent clothes when making a public presentation? She looks like that she is ready for a night the BINGO game.
John McKinney is a spineless fuck. "We apologize for any distress the presentations caused" What somebody didn't get there ass licked?
ReplyDeleteSME didn't do due diligence in inviting such a speaker.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they should invite Milo next.
ReplyDeleteWho's the dude in the pic?
ReplyDelete^^^ LOL
ReplyDeleteUmmmmm
I thought that was what education was about, getting a new or different view on things. You are a little distressed, good means you are thinking.
ReplyDeleteI blame overpaid Superintendent Jim Hinson and the new weather-lady spokesperson for the district.
ReplyDelete^^^ agree.
ReplyDeleteHey, at least we are keeping Erin Little busy.
ReplyDeleteGet these kids exposed to the Melissa SICK Clicks and the Jane IDIOT Elliots before the young'uns are sent off to college and into workplaces. Let teens see and discuss with them which Americans aren't making us GREAT!
ReplyDeleteESPN anchor Sage Steele and Charles Barkley tell how racist too many blacks are, also.
if it's about a good faith presentation of conflicting ideas, who presnted a contrary point of view?
ReplyDeleteso, you see, it's not about good faith, it's about hijacking taxpayer resources for radicalism.
How much did they pay that old bag?
ReplyDeleteI am worn down with terms like "All inclusive", "diverse" or anything else that pulls the power of numbers with minorities together when what you actually mean is "why aren't there more blacks?" because I never hear those terms being flung around when the overwhelming majority of any group is black or mexican.
ReplyDeleteBitch looks like she is in the middle of her sexual reassignment process.
ReplyDeleteAnother indoctrination session, this time by an old white leftist bra-burner from the 1960s. Who's the next speaker at the reeducation camp?
ReplyDeletethey should have a spe ial investigation and report how this happened to their constituencies.
ReplyDeletefor example, the foundation could lose donors for sponsoring radicals.
Bet they still paid her!
