Liberal Professor Admits He Helped Write Common Core To End White Privilege

David Pook, a professor at Granite State College, recently announced at an event at New Hampshire Institute of Politics that he helped write the controversial Common Core State Standards because he wanted to end “White privilege.”

“Liberal logic” by definition is illogical.

“The reason why I helped write the standards and the reason why I am here today is that as a white male in society I am given a lot of privilege that I didn’t earn.”

Excerpted from Campus Reform:

A teacher told attendees at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics Monday night that he helped write the controversial Common Core education standards to end white privilege.

Dr. David Pook, a professor at Granite State College and chair of the History department at The Derryfield School in Manchester, New Hampshire, argued in favor of Common Core.

“The reason why I helped write the standards and the reason why I am here today is that as a white male in society I am given a lot of privilege that I didn’t earn.”

Ironically, the $28,535 per year Derryfield School that Dr. Pook teaches at considers the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) inferior and does not use them on the student body that is 91% white.

AchieveTheCore.org notes that Dr. Pook “worked closely with Susan Pimentel and the Council of Chief State Officers in drafting the Core Standards for English Language Arts, and currently has several projects underway with Student Achievement Partners on work aligned with the CCSS.”

Purple Penguins

Purple Penguins

More politically correct Liberal insanity!

Nebraska school teachers were told to call kids “Purple Penguins” because the terms boys and girls are not inclusive enough.

From National Review Online:

Nebraska school district has instructed its teachers to stop referring to students by “gendered expressions” such as “boys and girls,” and use “gender inclusive” ones such as “purple penguins” instead.

“Don’t use phrases such as ‘boys and girls,’ ‘you guys,’ ‘ladies and gentlemen,’ and similarly gendered expressions to get kids’ attention,” instructs a training document given to middle-school teachers at the Lincoln Public Schools.
“Create classroom names and then ask all of the ‘purple penguins’ to meet on the rug,” it advises.

The document also warns against asking students to “line up as boys or girls,” and suggests asking them to line up by whether they prefer “skateboards or bikes/milk or juice/dogs or cats/summer or winter/talking or listening.”

“Always ask yourself . . . ‘Will this configuration create a gendered space?’” the document says.

The instructions were part of a list called “12 steps on the way to gender inclusiveness” developed by Gender Spectrum, an organization that “provides education, training and support to help create a gender sensitive and inclusive environment for children of all ages.”

Joke Of The Day: Obama At A Primary School

Rubber Chicken Barack Hussein Obama goes to a primary school to talk to the kids.

After his talk he offers question time.

One little boy puts up his hand, and Obama asks him his name.

”Walter,” responds the little boy.

“And what is your question, Walter?”

“I have seven questions”

First, “Why did the USA Bomb Libya without the support of the Congress?”

Second, “Why do you keep saying you fixed the economy when it’s actually Gotten worse?”

Third, “Why did you say that Jeremiah Wright was your mentor, then said That you knew nothing about his preaching and beliefs

Fourth, “Why are we lending money to Brazil to drill for oil, but America is not allowed to drill for oil?”

“Fifth, Why do you continue to cover up the Benghazi scandal?”

“Sixth, Why did you spy on your own U.S. Citizens?”

“And lastly, why did the IRS target Republicans?

Just then, the bell rings for recess.

Obama informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.

When they resume Obama says, “OK, where were we? Oh, that’s right: question time… Who has a question?”

Another little boy puts up his hand. Obama points him out and asks him his name.

“Steve,” he responds.

“And what is your question, Steve?”

Actually, I have two questions.

First, “Why did the recess bell ring 40 minutes early?”

Second, “What the hell happened to Walter?”
