No Biggie

[red states rule]

I wonder why the liberal media ignored this story? I guess there is not a story here





Did you hear about the controversy - the field trip a bunch of schoolkids from Ann Arbor, Michigan went on recently?

At the Dicken Elementary School, black kids were told to stay at the school, while white children were brought on a field trip. Yup. A "no-blacks-allowed" event.

But there was a reason for selecting whites only, according to the principal. The field trip allowed the white kids to hear from a renowned white rocket scientist. You have to realize, said school administrators, how tough it is for whites to compete these days. The white kids got pumped up by meeting the scientist because it showed them they could achieve great things, too.

Sadly, when the white kids returned, the excluded black kids booed them. And some of their parents were annoyed. So the principal of the school, Mike Madison, had to admit that "in hindsight," the trip could have been handled a bit better. But, he said, seeing the energy and excitement in those white kids eyes the ones who met the scientist made the segregated school trip worthwhile. He talked to the black kids afterward to let them know no offense meant; he apologized for hurting their feelings.

So that's...wait a second. What's that? OH! Correction. It was the black kids who were taken on the field trip – white kids were told they had to stay in school. It was a black rocket scientist. So no biggie. No story; no controversy...never mind!

Whether I were a white parent or a black parent, I would be outraged, and my tush would be at the administration office demanding an explanation.

Nooooooooo........that's not going to cause an even more division between the two races.....How friggin' stupid and thoughtless. I think when teachers or administration pull boneheaded stunts as this, they should have their pay docked....Hit them in their wallets. I bet they'd understand then.....:poke: Idiots....

I am so sick of this racist crap from the left.

[DragonStryk72]

What gets me is the lack of sense to it, when you really think about it. If you are trying to decrease racism, and teach the kids that anyone can achieve great things if they work hard enough, wouldn't you want to show that to the white kids too, so that they see people of other races in positions of power and authority, and get used to it?

lol!

[DragonStryk72]

lol!

so you are saying that whites, based solely one their race, which is the only thing put forth in the article, inherently have more opportunities than those of other races, without regards to aptitude, ability, class, intelligence, hard work or any other pertinent factor, all of which were not factored in the OP?

From the newspaper link I posted:

“The intent of our field trip was not to segregate or exclude students as has been reported, but rather to address the societal issues, roadblocks and challenges that our African American children will face as they pursue a successful academic education here in our community.”



Or are you still in troll mode Tuba?

The schools are trying. We even still have busing here. We have ECAP. We have free full-day kindergarten. We have all sorts of programs to help minorities achieve. You cannot teach someone who doesn't value education and whose family is a mess. The societal issues, roadblocks and challenges they face come from within the home.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/06/michigan-school-blacks-class-trip-principal-investigated/If you look closer you will find that I was commenting on the racist aspect of the story rather than the lack of media attention...But after all, they were only white children.

But now that you mention it, do you believe the media outrage is anywhere near what it would have been if it were the black students who had been excluded from the field trip?

Your PC tells you to ignore and disregard this aspect of all matters regarding reverse racism and even to make excuses for it...Your programmers would be proud of your work here Nukeman.

I watch alot of news and somehow I still managed to miss this story.....Of one thing I am absolutely positively 100% certain.

I gaurantee you that if it had been the black students who were excluded from the field trip, it would have been impossible to miss in the media.

The black kids leanred about rocket science, while the white kids learned about segregation

Liberals do everything they can to keep racism alive and well in America
