If you feel like you live in an alternative universe where reductionism replaces logic and superficiality trumps character, here’s more evidence that you may be right. We might just be living in a racist version of The Twilight Zone.
The Mankato School Board in Minnesota voted unanimously to pay non-white teachers “additional stipends” based only on the color of their skin, according to BizPac Review. If you happen to be born black or Native American and teach for the school district, you ostensibly deserve to be paid more than your peers.
You don’t have to earn the raise for going the extra mile to help students or for actually doing anything at all. The pay raise is based upon the accident of skin color and nothing else. Forget the fact that nobody gets to determine the color of skin they’re born with.
The chair of the board, Jodi Sapp, is no stranger to controversy. She raised eyebrows when she required parents to give their name and address before commenting on school matters, The Daily Wire reported.
In this latest move, Sapp led the charge to amend district policy so that only non-white teachers are eligible for additional stipends to become mentors to other non-white colleagues.
The furtherance of systemic racism.
The others should file a class-action lawsuit against the school board!
Sue them … the law is clear on this
Just like the Salvation Army, hospitals and police defunding, this will be a disaster in time. We’re the silent majority for a reason. We don’t need to march, loot, and burn to try and prove a point. We just make our future choices differently. This district is going to have a hard time finding teachers (it’s already hard enough) in the very near future when their only options are non-white.
Well, I’m sure that will go over like a lead balloon. Just wait until those boneheads get sued silly.
Whites………….stand up for your rights. Fight this!
Blatant discrimination. Silly people in charge.
Their union will sue. Individual teachers may sue. State and Feds should sue. Those voting in favor of this should be sued in their board capacity, and as individuals.
Blatantly illegal.
