By Dr. Patrick Slattery — Rochester is a hotbed of black on white violence, but apparently the administrators of its public schools don’t think that white children have been adequately punished for “slavery ‘n sh*t.”®

If you have a couple of hours to spare, Colin Flaherty has an entire playlist of videos of recent black violence against whites (and Asians), all from Rochester. And yet, Rochester’s educational overlords are convinced that blacks to do poorly at school and are arrested by police more than whites solely because of white racism. So the only way to solve the problem is to have the teachers gather all the little white kids and black kids together and announce that blacks are poor and violent because white people are so evil.

Please read the story below, and then call the Rochester School Superintendents office and tell her, politely and rationally (i.e. “whitely”), that she is insane. Her name is Barbara Deane Williams. Her number is 585-262-8378

The email explains that Rochester City School District students, which encompasses pre-k to grade 12 youngsters, will learn the following from the highly political district-wide mandated Black Lives Matter-themed day:

• Understands inequities based on race
• Affirms that the lives of people of color matter
• Believes that we all have a responsibility to work for equity

Teachers are given the option to create lesson plans that “include the Black Lives Matter movement,” a highly divisive movement that, thus far, has been associated with riots, has featured supporters calling for dead police officers and lynching white people, and has spawned at least one confessed sympathizer who murdered innocent police officers in the name of “justice.”

In perhaps the most radical part of the email, the district explains how to confront a parent or teacher who asks if “all lives matter”:

Don’t all lives matter? (And how should I respond if parents or colleagues ask this?)
Of course all lives matter. However, 57% of our students are black, and by almost every measure, people of color are not treated equally by our society. It is especially important to highlight the value of black lives in a society whose history involves centuries of slavery and denial of civil rights to black citizens, the impacts of which continue to this day.  

And it gets better, staffers are provided links to “helpful articles” explaining to them in detail why saying “all lives matter” is incorrect, and yes, HuffPo and Vox.com are included:

Teachers are also encouraged to wear Black Lives Matter-themed stickers and buttons, or to buy a “Black Lives Matter at School Day” t-shirt to signal to their students “where they stand.”

“If you want to make a visible affirmation, we encourage you to wear a T-shirt (purchase here, though orders after 2/4/16 may not be produced in time) or create your own button or sticker, so your students will know where you stand,” the announcement reads.

Or, perhaps, so administrators “will know where you stand.”

Clearly, Black Lives Matter at School Day is a complete overstep by the public education system, which is of course funded by tax-payers. The connections to the radical, divisive and highly political movement are undeniable and teachers, parents and students will now be put in an awkward position if they do not follow leftist dogma. Teachers in particular are put in a difficult position, feeling pressure from administration who have imposed this political indoctrination.

The email clarifies that “Black Lives Matter at School is not an official part of the Black Lives Matter movement” and claims that teacher participation is “voluntary.”
