Commentary: Wildly Racist MN School Board Just Approved an Unthinkable Plan for White Teachers

Do you sometimes feel you are living in an alternative universe where “reductionism replaces logic and superficiality trumps character?”

This article touches on evidence of the fact that you may be right. We may be living in a racist version of The Twilight Zone. This from westernjournal.com.

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 this school district, you ostensibly deserve to be paid more than your peers, according to the school board.

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.

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.

Whites need not apply. If this isn’t racist, what is?

Not everyone was happy with the vote. Republican state Rep. Jeremy Munson criticized the policy, saying, “Our largest local school district just voted to pay people differently, not on merit, or by the content of their character, but based solely on the color of their skin.”

Board member Erin Roberts defended the policy by saying the policy isn’t a form of segregation.

Vice-chair Kenneth Reid joined Roberts in defending the vote by claiming that, “It creates global citizens at the end of the day.”

Aha! Now it begins to make sense. It’s not The Twilight Zone unless a neo-Marxist move to strip U.S. citizens of the individual human dignity guaranteed by the Constitution can only happen in an alternative universe.

In the neo-Marxist world, there are no individuals. Each person is put in a group based on something outside of their control.

Maybe it’s becoming more like The Outer Limits where the audience must relinquish control of the television screen.

You can’t choose what skin color you are born with, who your parents happen to be or whether you are born rich or poor.

But, in America, you are born with the freedom to choose how, as an individual, you will navigate your God-given life.

In America, no two lives are the same. Even identical twins experience the world uniquely. Each individual is one of a kind.

Imagine what Martin Luther King, Jr., would say about this American Dream.
Bearing in mind MLK’s signature quote, “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” it’s safe to say he would call it what it is: racist.

MLK’s vision of America is one of a work-in-progress. We are not there yet, but at least we seemed to be headed in the right direction. That is until leftist woke-ism assumed control in many corners of the nation, including D.C.

And it is this radical left that is seeking to undermine King’s legacy with policies that are anti-American and blatantly racist.

We the People must not let this happen.

May God bless America.

And God speed to Conservatism.
