Tongue Tieds

From Fox News Tongue Tied:

A high school student who painted an image that kinda sorta looks like a stairway to heaven had to change it after some folks complained about the religious imagery, reports the Napa Valley Register.

The student, who carries a Bible and has earned the nickname Pastor K., said he didn't want to offend anyone and immediately changed the image on a painting outside the Napa High School art room.

Stairs previously leading to a castle in the sky now lead to a sunspot in the sky, and the castle is moored to the ground instead of planted in clouds. "I don't want to cause anyone to get upset," said the student, Kyle Trudelle.

Some observant students wonder, however, why no one has complained about a nearby mural depicting the Virgin Mary. It was explained that that painting is about Hispanic heritage, so it's OK.

I think my emphasis pretty much sums it up. things even slightly Christian are banned, but Hispanic symbols are OK, "because it's part of their heritage." Well, Christianity is part of my heritage, so I better start seeing some equal time here.

Here's another Tongue Tied, I'll let you be the judge:

A school district in North Carolina is spending nearly $50,000 a year to have its teachers berated as racists in the name of diversity and anti-racism training, reports the Greensboro News Record.

Officials in Guilford County are requiring some 300 teachers in the district to sit through seminars by Chicago's Crossroads Ministry. Participants, according to the paper, "are taught that history is written from the perspective of whites and that laws and policies benefit whites while putting minorities at an immediate disadvantage."

The paper provided no details about the seminars.

The Crossroads Ministry makes no bones about its belief that "U.S. racial and cultural imperialism abroad are fundamentally based on white supremacy at home, founded on the belief that only White Europeans and White Euro-Americans should set the world's agenda and control and distribute the world's resources."

The ministry also insists that whites are like alcoholics who are unaware of their racism and how they "benefit from and even depend on the sufferings of others for their happiness." Coincidentally — we're sure — one of the Guildford County school board members trying to make sure there is plenty set aside in next year's half-a-million dollar training budget for Crossroads is Deena Hayes, who the paper describes as a trainer in institutional racism for the People's Institute which frequently partners with Crossroads. [emphasis mine]

You want to talk about racist, there you go. So steeped in anger and hatred against whites, they ought to be members of whatever non-white Klan there is out there.

And buried in one of the articles is this:

[Superintendent Terry] Grier agrees more training is needed. The district is more diverse than nine years ago, he said. The school system has gone from 57 percent white and 37 percent low-income students to 45 percent white and 46 percent low-income students.

You mean none of the white students are low-income? Are you sure about that? Are you sure that all of the non-white students are low-income? Isn't that statement racist in itself?

You need to follow the links in this second story, especially to the Crossroads Ministry. They are a bunch of flaming Liberal apologists who are seeing the world through a very bad set of prescription glasses. They need to be exposed as to that they are so they can be ignored like the rest of the racists in the world instead of being paid to give "seminars."
