I do hesitate to write about such idiocy, but this story goes beyond even my tolerance for stupidity.
No one should be surprised that this new kind of “racism” baloney comes from Portland, Oregon, the homeland to leftist absurdity. Apparently now eating or talking about a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is racist. This is according to the braindead principal of the Harvey Scott K-8 School in Portland, Vernon Gutierrez. When speaking about a PB&J sandwich, he is fearful that Somali or Hispanic students for example, might be offended because they may not eat sandwiches in their culture, so he wants equal time spent on torta or pita. (I have had sandwiches on both by the way — tasty!) I guess someone forgot to mention that if they are living in this country, and attending American schools, there is a possibility that they could come in contact with a sandwich from time to time. As horrible as that may be, my guess is they will come to love sandwiches like most everyone else. Hell, maybe they could trade a pita sandwich for a bread sandwich creating a racism curing detente!
The goofy Gutierrez, as if his already crazy nitwittedness was not bad enough, has mandated that the government run Harvey Scott school start “the new year with “intensive staff meetings, classroom observations and other initiatives,” to help educators understand their own “white privilege,” in order to “change their teaching practices to boost minority students’ performance.”
In addition, “the first item of business for teachers at Scott School was to have a Courageous Conversation — to examine a news article and discuss the ‘white privelege’ it conveys.”
Gutierrez is “coaching for educational equity,” focusing on systematic racism, and looking to improve “education” for “black and brown boys.” If you are curious enough, have the stomach for this nonsense or have a sense of humor, you can study Gutierrez’s “sandwich sensitivity philosophy” here.
I’m sure all those attending this worthless government school in Portland will come away better people due to their intensive training about racist sandwiches. The next time someone asks me to have a taco, I’m going to scream bloody murder and threaten to sue for extreme racist behavior, and demand that the perpetrator be schooled thoroughly about white privilege alternatives like cheeseburgers and fries.
UPDATE: A mom today was fined by the daycare center where her three children attend for not providing a nutritionally balanced lunch for her kids. She had sent them to the center with a lunch of roast beef, carrots, potatoes, an orange, Ritz crackers and milk. Her crime … She didn’t pack grains. God forbid! It’s certainly lucky that she didn’t pack a sandwich, or she could have been fined and jailed for abusing her children and racism all in the same day!
