Americorps Tells White Students to Wear White Armbands as Reminder of White Privilege

[there4eyeM]

'W' was the deformative action president.

Both Dems and Reps must go. Obama isn't bad or good because of genes. Party makes the man, and the two party dictatorship makes all in it corrupt.

I dont know what Bush has to do with this discussion. Does every criticism of Obama immediately lead you to mutter "BOOOSH"?

If one had looked, one would have seen it was partly in response to a previous post.

the partys are run by the people


the country is then run by the choice from these partys two power structures.

No on is a dictator and your crap is really stupid.

If you get rid of the partys the people will pick the exact same types from new partys.

You ultra simplistic crap just amounts to nothing but a childish rant

Childish rants are all we seem to get from the two party dictatorship. Throwing them both out may not be the whole answer, but, like 100 lawyers at the bottom of the sea, it's a good start.

How can you defend them?

 

[g5000]

That's insane. What privilege do I have? And how the heck is a white armband going to make it any more or less obvious that Im white?

Is this freakin serious?

Americorp is Hillary's group. I guess they want everyone to hate whites for some reason.

White people = Republicans

White Gun Owners = Mass murderers

Heterosexual couples = Bigots

Military vets = Gun Owners = Mass murderers = Bigots = Republicans


To the left the lowest human in existence is a Republican.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction is one of Hillary's groups? Since it's a state government agency, wouldn't it more like be one of Scott Walker's groups?

Hello? Department of Public Instruction. Unionized teachers. You know, the group that really, really hates Walker.

If any white person is damn fool enough to join Americorps, they deserve what they get.

Here is Americorp's VISTA page: AmeriCorps.gov > AmeriCorps VISTA

So far, I am finding nothing about these wristbands.

Soooo....UNION teachers run a state department in Scott Walker's ANTI-UNION state?

If that's so, then I guess Walker's not a very good Governor because he's obviously lost control, right?

The OP link links to another site, which then links to another site, which then links to another site.

This appears to be the source of the "white wristband" thing:https://sites.google.com/a/dpi.wi.gov/dpi-vista-project/resources-1/power-and-privilege-resources

And it is wristband, not armband. Get the facts right.

Here is one of the links on that page: White Privilege Conference

Nice, huh?

I still have not found the white wristband thing, though.

Deeply Embarrassed White People Talk Awkwardly About Race; Please Don't Stop Reading this Story About Race Just Because You are not Racist By Jen Graves

An actual title of an article linked on the VISTA page.

http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/...talk-awkwardly-about-race/Content?oid=9747101

 

[g5000]

Here is where another link on the VISTA page takes you: Indians and Pilgrams: A Simulation Story - CREATE Wisconsin

Indians and Pilgrams: A Simulation Story
Student Activity

Title Indians and Pilgrims: A Simulation-Story
Level Grades K-5
Time One class period

Although this activity is simplistic and somewhat melodramatic, its general purpose is twofold: (1) to supplement the numerous accounts-generally from the European or Euroamerican point of view-of the "coming of the Mayflower" and the "settlement of the Plymouth Plantation," and (2) to supplant the traditional, romanticized acting-out of the "First Thanksgiving" by children dressed as Pilgrims and Indians.

Objective

Students will experience feelings and responses similar to those which may have been felt by the Native people of this land when Europeans arrived and settled here.

 

[g5000]

So...yeah. If you look at all that shit on VISTA's page, it is quite clear they absolutely, positively, unequivocally hate white people.

Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act

The Obama Administration is committed to working with Congress to expand high-quality service opportunities to promote a spirit of civic participation and service across the country. The national service authorizing committees in the U.S. House of Representative and Senate have taken early bipartisan action in the 111th Congress to reauthorize national service laws and expand opportunities for Americans all ages to serve their communities.

In 1993, President Bill Clinton signed the National and Community Service Trust Act, which established the Corporation for National and Community Service and brought the full range of domestic community service programs under the umbrella of one central organization.

This legislation built on the first National Service Act signed by President H.W. Bush in 1990. It also formally launched AmeriCorps, a network of national service programs that engage Americans in intensive service to meet the nation’s critical needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment.

The newly created AmeriCorps incorporated two existing national service programs: the longstanding VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) program, created by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964 and the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC).

and that matters because....?

That should tell you something about their credibility. Horowitz is a liar.

There are four separate links about the story in the OP. And somehow you are talking about Glenn Beck and David Horowitz. Both who are quite a bit more honest than you are.

Neither of those guys come close to being honest as I am...they are both pathological liars and do a disservice to true journalism.

Americorps Tells White Students to Wear White Armbands as Reminder of White Privilege

March 11, 2013
By Daniel Greenfield

I assume that the Yellow Stars are coming next.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction runs several programs that heavily emphasize racial issues in public schools.

Some feel that one of those programs – an Americorps operation called VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) – may go a bit overboard by encouraging white students to wear a white wristband “as a reminder about your (white) privilege.”

...

It sounds like one of several tools available, but not mandatory, to increase students sensitivity to racial issues. As such, it's probably benign.

I would note, though, that this comes out of heavily and solidly Republican Wisconsin, so it's gonna be hard to hang this one on liberals, ain't it?

I guess when all of those union thugs stormed the Wisconsin capital those were Repugs too?

Get real.

And spot on accurate.

I know it's stupid. However it is the motivation behind wearing white arm-bands of shame.

Glenn Beck was so much of a liar he was fired by Faux Noise.
