Canadian Comedian fined and College "Privilege Board" at Appalachian State

Canadian comedian Mike Ward was fined a whopping $42,000 by Quebec’s Human Rights Tribunal for jokes he made about a disabled boy.

“This makes me wanna go to my safe space!”

Appalachian State University students must walk past a “privilege board” denouncing their white, male, able-bodied, Christian, or cisgender privilege any time they enter the Student Union.

The bulletin board is located in Plemmons Student Union (PSU), which the school calls “the centerpiece of the Appalachian campus,” and was apparently put up by a student group last semester, but has been allowed to remain in place to date.

Not the Onion: Thousands of teachers flock to ‘White Privilege Conference’

The annual event is aimed at promoting the theory of White Privilege – that American society is hopelessly stacked against minorities and the only way to fix the system is for white people to acknowledge their immense “privilege” and repent.

“Our vision is to build a community committed to dismantling white privilege, white supremacy and oppression, every day, everywhere,” wrote Eddie Moore Jr., founder and president of “The Privilege Institute,” which organizes the event.

“WPC fosters an environment where every participant can engage deeply, and then through our Accountability program, bring what they have learned back to their own community so that their WPC experience impacts their lives, employment, and community all year long.”

Metro reports 2,500 teachers, school administrators and counselors will attend the conference — the largest attendance to date.

"White Male Privilege on Mars"

Despite the fact that we’re clearly pretty far from colonizing Mars, the social-justice crowd is already freaking out that it’s going to be an oppressive, white-male dominated society and that we must act now to stop it.

“The last thing we need is to wake up in 50 years and find that a bunch of #gamergate nobheads are running Mars,” Martin Robbins writes in a piece for the Guardian titled, “How Can Our Future Mars Colonies Be Free of Racism and Sexism?” Robbins explains that part of his concern comes from the fact that humans’ colonization of new lands has traditionally been oppressive.

Not Fit To Teach

This person is not fit to teach students at any level, especially at primary and secondary grades.  That is what I thought as I read this:

"If you are not serious about being an agent of change that helps stifle the oppressive systems, go find another job. Because you are a political figure."

The speaker was Kim Radersma, a former high school English teacher in California and Colorado. Radersma is currently working toward her Ph. D. in critical whiteness studies at Brock University in Ontario, Canada.

Critical.  Whiteness.  Studies.

Radersma was leading a breakout session for educators at the National White Privilege Conference recently held in  Madison, Wisconsin.   Madison, an epicenter of white privilege, if there is such a thing.  A city filled with white liberals who stifle racial integration at every opportunity.

Radersma argued that teachers must fight against the oppressive structure in education and society. She said anyone who is going into teaching and education must be a political figure.

"Teaching is a political act, and you can't choose to be neutral. You are either a pawn used to perpetuate a system of oppression or you are fighting against it," Radersma said during the session. "And if you think you are neutral, you are a pawn."

What sane parent would want his or her children in a class taught by Kim Radersma?  Or any teacher, for that matter who believes this, and who thinks it mandatory that teachers must be political in what and how they teach children.  It is leftist indoctrination writ large, increasingly a role held by public school teachers.

Radersma unwittingly makes an excellent argument in favor of home schooling and parochial schools, and against sending children to the indoctrination camps that some public schools have become.  

 "Being a white person who does anti-racist work is like being an alcoholic. I will never be recovered by my alcoholism, to use the metaphor," Radersma said. "I have to everyday wake up and acknowledge that I am so deeply imbedded with racist thoughts and notions and actions in my body that I have to choose everyday to do anti-racist work and think in an anti-racist way."

 Oh please.  Spare us the self-heroism and false drama, Kim Radersma.  And stay away from our children with your foolishness.  And as for your PhD in critical whiteness studies, it's horsehit that passes for eduction in the humanities departments of universities that will teach anything in order to keep the tuition money flowing.
