MINNESOTA (Yaakov M / VINnews) — It sounds almost surreal. The Minneapolis public school system has implemented a new policy requiring white teachers to be fired before blacks and other minorities.

The supposed justification for the blatantly racist policy is to “remedy the continuing effects of past discrimination,” according to the school district.
The new contract between Minneapolis Public Schools and the local teachers union mandates that if schools need to fire or lay off teachers, the white ones will be the first tossed overboard.

The agreement is a significant adjustment to the prior seniority-based layoff system under which teachers employed the least amount of time are first to be fired. Under the (insane racist) new rules, if a minority teacher is set to be laid off, the district will instead fire the next least senior teacher who is white.
“If [laying off] a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the district shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population,” reads the agreement.
This is the latest example of teachers’ unions attempts to institute policies favoring minority teachers in order to achieve racial equity. Staff at New York City’s elite Dalton School recently demanded the administration pay off black faculty’s student debt.
The district released a statement to the Washington Times Tuesday, offering a defense of the deal..
“To remedy the continuing effects of past discrimination, Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) mutually agreed to contract language that aims to support the recruitment and retention of teachers from underrepresented groups as compared to the labor market and to the community served by the school district,” the district said in an email.
bye bye America
Seems that racism in America is indeed systemic…just not in the way we were told.
I still done get why this people are called African American, their not from Africa and neither are their parents or parents parents they are regular citizens of America that out of itself is racist for calling them African (when a lot of them are not even from Africa originally and from other islands and countries. There are people of color from every where in America and you don’t call them by their country for example Puerto Rican American, Israeli American polish American and the list goes on. Move on and just be people and be kind and humane to society not the color of skin
Does any one remember George Orwell’s book 1984? The animals revolted against the farmer and took over running the farm. Then the pigs put themselves in charge and when the other animals complained, they put up a big sign, we are all equal, but some are more equal than others.
Happening in Minneapolis.
So much for skills and character, this is how it should be judged. Ironically, my mother was laid off even though she worked for 13 years as a teacher in that particular speciality. She was one of the last hired teacher and she is good. B”H she found another teaching job.
The agreement doesn’t go far enough ALL white teachers should be fired
The language in the contract states, that teachers of underrepresented races and specialty teachers amongst others (meaning- teachers who are hard to replace) will not be fired based on senority.
I.e. a Native American teacher who was recently hired will not be laid off during budget cuts just bc she was recently hired because its hard to find Native American teachers.
This contract was agreed to and ratified by the union- meaning the members (majority white) agreed to it.
If firing whites first will help with blacks getting their racial justice, it will be well worth it.
