You know what was cool? When I was in school they talked about "The Melting Pot", about how when you came here you became an American.
Now?
The board is calling for a two-tiered form of student discipline. One for Black and Hispanic students; one for everyone else.
Seriously.
You see, they can't discipline students as they deserve if the disciplinings don't match the racial make-up of the school. So if white kids are 50% of the school, they need to get disciplined 50% too. If too many black kids get disciplined, they can't discipline any more until they catch some white kids and hispanic kids doing something.
They also want to make the faculty match the racial make-up of the school.
So if there's 50% Hispanics, they need 50% Hispanic teachers, if there's 10% black students, they need 10% black teachers.
So why?
With the goal of creating a "restorative school culture and climate" that conveys a "sense of belonging to all students," the board is insisting that its schools reduce its suspensions and/or expulsions of minority students to the point that the data reflect "no ethnic/racial disparities."
I think what they're going to accomplish is losing a lot of law suits, and if they manage to implement it, I figure they're going to accomplish bankrupting the school as they lose those lawsuits.
Imagine some black kid suspended for talking in class because too many hispanics were suspended for fighting?
I do have to laugh at the final line in the article, he invokes Gasp!!! Apartheid!
Okay, that's funny.
Because it's true.

Because the race pimps and grievance hustlers have so discredited the racism charge because of their repeated and silly cries of racism where it didn't and doesn't exist, they seem determined to ramp Teh Stoopid up to eleven in order to get attention. Well, I will have none of it.
The tired cries of imaginary racism will only serve to hurt people who face true racism in their lives, and further serve to squelch any honest discussion of the real issues that face this country. Besides, this shit is nothing but intimidation of the lowest form, and I refuse to be intimidated for something that does not apply to me, while, usually, those who see racism in everything are only seeing their own reflections and shortcomings. Maybe they're still feeling guilty for something in their own lives. I don't know, and I don't care.
But what I will do is mock those who throw around baseless and silly charges. The crazier and stupider the charge, the more likely I am to write about it and mock it. And in that vein, I present to you, the racist highway lanes of Virginia.
A lawsuit filed by Arlington County last month claims the lanes benefit wealthy white people and discriminates against minorities. While the only rule to get in the HOV lanes on Interstate 395 is you must have three people in the car, Arlington claims adding HOT lanes would cut out poor and minorities by defacto.
That claim doesn't sit well with Fairfax County Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield).
"I don't think race or class warfare has any standing in this argument," Herrity said.
Buried in the lawsuit filed last month, county attorneys argued the HOT lanes, "encourage and enable a financially-able, privileged class of suburban and rural, primarily Caucasian residents from Stafford and Spotsylvania counties operating single occupancy vehicles ("SOV") unimpeded access on toll lanes."
In other words, it benefits wealthy white people.
A few pages later, the suit claims the Federal Highway Administration and the Virginia Department of Transportation failed to do the proper environmental analysis and that "their actions also constituted civil rights violations as they discriminated against minority and low income communities."
Arlington County Chair Barbara Favola says the race issue only arose because the environmental review includes socioeconomic impact.
"It is not our intention to play a race card. I think that's a very divisive approach," {then why did you bring it up?-ed}Favola told FOX5.
By the way, notice the Party affiliation of the guy calling bullshit on the charge is mentioned, but the party leanings of the Arlington County Chair is not? Maybe I missed something, but that is mighty suspicious.

Vice President Joe Biden said today that if Democrats were to lose 35 House seats they currently hold in traditionally Republican districts, it would mean doomsday for President Obama’s agenda.
Biden said Republicans are pinning their political strategy on flipping these seats.
“If they take them back, this the end of the road for what Barack and I are trying to do,†the vice president said at a fundraiser for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) today in Greenville, Delaware.
Republicans need to pick up 40 seats next November to take back control of the House.
There are 49 seats currently held by Democrats in districts that Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz) won in last year’s presidential election.
Biden said these House seats are Republicans “one shot†at breaking the Obama administration’s agenda. But if Democrats can hold on to those seats, “the dam is going to break,†he said, and a new era of bipartisanship will begin.
“All the hidden Republicans that don’t have the courage to vote the way they want to vote because of pressure from the party … it will break the dam and you will see bipartisanship,†Biden said.
Republicans welcomed the vice president’s assessment of the 2010 landscape.
“What didn’t seem possible just a few months ago, appears to be the topic of conversation even within the upper echelons of the Obama White House,†said Ken Spain, spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee. “It is interesting to hear Vice President Biden admit that the administration’s effort to double down on a partisan agenda of government takeovers could possibly mean the ‘end of the road’ for their political viability.â€
It's always best to have a goal in mind. Now we do.
*Out of respect for the First Lady, and the desire to keep shitheads from formerly relevant "conservative" blogs from spamming our comments at 3AM, I will refrain from screaming 'WOOKIE"WOOKIE"WOOKIE".

"Using 'illegals' in this way is grammatically incorrect and crosses the line by dehumanizing and criminalizing the person, not the action they are purported to have committed," a news release from the organization said. NAHJ called on the media to never use "illegals" in headlines and in television news crawls.I'm just surprised they didn't cry racerism.
"We continue to see ‘illegals’ used as a noun seeping from the fringes into the mainstream media, and in turn, into the mainstream political dialogue," said NAHJ Executive Director Iván Román. "Using these terms not only distorts the debate, but it takes away their identities as individuals and human beings. When journalists do that, it’s that much easier to treat them unfairly and not give them an equal voice in the controversy."Equal voice? Really? Were American citizens given an equal voice when illegals (hell yes, I'll call them that) stole over $300 billion from our coffers? Were the immigrants who patiently filled out their paperwork and waited in line and did things in accordance with the sovereignty of our country given an equal voice?

This is even more mind boggling when you read the store and discover that, pretty much, the criminally insane were simply allowed to wander around, enjoying the fair, so long as the staff kept them all in eyesight. Yeah. That was never ever going to go wrong.
What strikes me about this, however, is how this fits in neatly with many of our Fail Brittania posts. Once again, it seems the focus is on the poor insane guy and not on the whole killing a poor elderly woman, soaking her in gas and burying her in the garden. This is the stuff that makes me furious. There seems to be very little concern for those who aren't criminals. The general public's rights are considered utterly unworthy of care. That tends to peeve people, just a little tiny bit.
Here's a hint, stop acting all shocked and surprised when people get pissed that you took a criminally insane person to the fair. Try thinking about why, exactly, people are pissed. Or, shorter version, stop being fucktards.

So much for HOPE. That, at least, is the symbolic message sent by an anti-ACORN activist or group that targeted Studio Number One in Los Angeles, the commercial design studio of Obama HOPE poster creator Shepard Fairey, with anti-ACORN graffiti.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now has drawn conservative wrath this month after hidden-camera videographers taped its workers giving housing and other advice to a couple purporting to be a pimp and a prostitute. The White House quickly backed away from the group in the wake of the video sting, first published on new conservative Web site BigGovernment.com, with the House on Thursday voting to cut federal funding for the group.

The sheriff's office said Paul's medication should keep him stable for 14 days, not 48 hours as previously reported.Uh, just how stable is his medication keeping him if he doesn't recognize that he's a danger to society?His brother said Paul was a high school and junior college wrestler and a martial artist who should not be approached.

Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell apparently woke up from the coma she'd been in for the past several years in time to catch RAAAAACIST Congressman Joe Wilson calling Obama a liar during his recent speech:
A lot of people believe that Wilson would have bit his tongue before he hurled an insult at a white president.Really, it was an unbelievable moment.
Wilson shouted that the president of the United States was a liar before the entire Congress and the millions of people who watched the speech on television.
Think about that.
President George Bush was so wrong about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction, he should have been impeached.
Thousands of young lives were at stake, and not one elected official ever got angry enough to call Bush a liar during a public speech.
No matter how bad things were going in this country, Bush was respected as the president of the United States.
Um, yeah.

Rasmussen Reports, “Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans reject the notion that most of the opponents are racist. So do 78% of voters not affiliated with either major party. However, just 39% of Democrats share that view. Twenty-two percent (22%) of those in the president’s party say that most of the opposition to his plan comes from racists, and another 39% are not sure.â€Got that? Even among devoted Democrats, only 22% believe opposition to ObamaCare is motivated by racism.
Take that, Jimmah.

If this is the standard we're going by, Insty could send out cease and desists to everyone who goes by _____pundit, and shut down half the fucking blogosphere, the Moron-in-Chief could go after Flopping Aces, and anything else with the name Ace or Ace of Spades, on it. Politico is way out of line here, and we're gonna do as Ace recommends, we'll cite Politico if we use them as a source, but we'll be denying them sweet sweet linkage until a letter of retraction and apology is sent to College Politico.

Sweet Mary Mother Of God, that's *evil*. I'm not using that term lightly. That's *evil*. I think that not helping with sexual enslavement of children should be pretty fucking obvious to anyone with firing synapses. Look, if anyone came to me and asked those questions, I would get an assistant, tell her to call 911 and then stall, stall, stall until the cops could get there and drag the bastards proposing it out by their hair. Holy hell, I mean, seriously. This is not really a hard call to make.
And now ACORN is claiming that Fox News is making them into Willie Horton. That's killing your parents and asking the court for leniency because you're an orphan level of chutzpah. Of course, that also begs this question - is ACORN admitting it did this? Because, last I recall, there really wasn't that much doubt as to whether or not Willie Horton was guilty.
Seriously, I'm just open mouthed shocked by this. Though, sadly, I'm not open mouthed shocked by the radio silence on this by my Leftist friends. Doesn't fit the narrative don't you know.
Sexual. Slavery. Of. Children. And those women were fine with it. Holy hell.

This time, however, it looks as though ACORN has been operating without a license in Maryland.
