so says Portland Public Schools principal Verenice Gutierrez:

White bread?

:facepalm:
Wait, wait....
:facepalm:
Yeah, that's about all I can come up with regarding this.
-
It's a school ...
in America ...
you can learn what the hell a sandwich is, if you don't know.

Here's a big part of the problem (from the comments):
I believe that racism is a system of advantage that benefits white folks like myself, while withholding advantages from people of color.
This is their definition of racism. To them, racism against white people doesn't exist. Nor does racism from people of one color (other than white) against those of another color (other than white). They need to stop using the term "racism", since they don't know what it means, and start calling what they do "teaching white guilt" or something.

If you're not smart enough or good enough to teach real knowledge, not to worry. You can make up hippicruft, and teach that. The parents will be too dumb to know the difference. Exhibit A:
At least one parent has a problem with the the class, saying it amounts to “blatant discrimination and equity of women, Asians, whites and Native Americans.”

Please be Portland, ME, please be Portland ME, please be Portland, ME....

Oh god damnit. :facepalm:
Oh well, not surprising.

“This isn’t for the weak,” she says. “We have less [sic] resources."
*sigh*

In the linked article, they mentioned that "sandwich" might be unfamiliar to Somalis or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches.
Hmmm . . . if that's the standard for racisim, there are a lot of OTHER words that might be equally racist because they're unfamiliar to certain minorities.
Toilet paper.
Television.
Soap.
Freedom.
Liberty.
Hygiene.
Deodorant.
And on and on. Somehow, they're equating our commonplace knowledge with racisim, if some turd world denizen is unfamiliar with it.
This proves once again the truth of the first line in my .sig.
-
Freedom?
Liberty?
Definitely racist.

No need to over think the idea of school, it's to teach kids stuff they need to know. If you can't teach a kid what a sandwich is, you've already failed in your mission, and no desperate search for whiffs of racism is going to change that.
-
This and stuff in the Chicago teachers thread just had me thinking: If I were a public elementary school student today, not only would I do poorly in school, but it seems the entire system would prepare me for nothing more in the job market than to be an expert on work place "equality". It's sort of creating a bizzaro version of Idiocracy, where people have expert "knowledge" of specific uses of language in culture, but can't do basic math.
-
The purpose of our school system is to make sure the legacy culture of America is destroyed, once and for all.
It seems to be working. That such a "teacher" has a job in America, can say what she says, shows us how institutionalized the poison is, folks.
As for the Somalis, the Haitians, the Mesoamericans, just one question, what guys in thousand-dollar suits "brung" 'em? I don't remember the American people being asked, EVER, if they wanted to repopulate America with denizens of the Third World who would then require US to change for THEM.
Yeah, beating an old drum, but unfortunately the drumsticks need to be active.
-
Ought we consider sending one's children to public schools child neglect?
-
There was another shining example, just last week, of someone getting out the microscope to find racism where it could not possibly exist. I keep trying to remember what it was. Anyone else hear the same story? ???

Your country is doomed - your only hope is to start warming your beer, drinking tea and burning down dentists.

We need an amicable, or at least civil, divorce. I'd move. I'd move to where honor was paramount, where civility was not a sign of timidity, where excellence was encouraged and rewarded. To where charity is a choice, and a moral imperative, not a legal requirement. To where everyone's rights were respected, including their rights to privacy and the fruits of their own labor. Oh yeah, I'd go there with only the clothes on my back and the change in my pocket.
The screeching of the naysayers and complainers and detractors is sapping my soul. Eff 'em.

Today, I saw an African-American man eating a BBQ sandwich on white bread....should I counsel him on racial sensitivity or just confiscate his sandwich?.....

Well sammich is sexist and it should be. They hear sammich and they better be fixing one. :rofl:
Maybe we ought to send the principal in the OP a box of Oreos. They're sammiches of a sort, they're white, they're black, they're so confused!!! Maybe melt her circuit boards.
-
That's why here at the APS we use the word "sammitch". It is neither racist like "sandwich", nor sexist like "sammich".
It's so PC that it's straight-bi-gay-sensitive, as you will note that it's actually made up from Sam + Mitch... which can be Samuel and Mitchel, or Samantha and Mitchel, or Samantha and Mitchelle.
It may however discriminate against the furries.

Durn tootin'. Better not be no fur on my sammitch.
-
I do my part for diversity by using whole-grain breads for my sandwiches. They are a pleasing brownish or beige color, celebrating the rich palette of all skin tones mixed together.

Not sure what an appropriate response to this would be.
Especially in a context-free environment.

I'd mention that peanut butter was invented by George Wahinton Carver but looking at the article, anything that isn't international culture is racist or something.

He didn't invent peanut butter, but he did have a bunch of other recipes and uses for peanuts.
It's also an American plant that has had the same world effects as the potato, just in a diffrent climate. It's a dietary staple around the world, but particularly in parts of Africa. In some of those places, they use the peanut in their cooking a lot more them we do.
Considering that putting stuff on forms of baked celerals is pretty universal, I'd say "sandwiches" are one of the least culturally specific food out there.
I seriously think this principle and her flunkies need some sense smacked into them.
The said thing is, there are still a few racial inequalities out there that need addressing. This superficial crap and pushing actual racism in the other direction is not only wasting time, it's creating more issues then we already have.
-
I suppose that we could put something between two slices of bread and call it "Hawaii" =D
-
Or maybe "Azores."
-

Were they also originally called the "Sandwich Islands" ??? ??? ???

Nah.
I was just staying with the "island" theme.
Figured I'd avoid making it too easy for the others.
I probably should have just gone with the Cook Islands. Or maybe Vanuatu.
Or I could have gone with a fish, but that's getting pretty obscure.
=D
-
. . . I probably should have just gone with the Cook Islands . . .
Also potentially racist - some of these Turd World denizens may not realize that food can be cooked, having never discovered fire.

I think there are still "South Sandwich Islands" near Antarctica. So Hawaii was really the North Sandwich Islands.
That old Earl was pretty high bread. He must have had a lot of dough.
-
So, the story thus far...
Sandwiches are racist because not everybody knows what they are.
Sandwiches are also sexist because some guys want women to make them all the time.
As both a minority and a woman, this makes me feel very, very bad...
...for them sammiches. :lol:

You have a rye sense of humor =D

Yer humor runs against the grain.
It's like yer just threshing around tryna find the right words.
Yer oats to be ashamed.
We don't knead that kind of thing here.

Somehow I don't find the take-over of my public education system amusing. We don't take the propagation of our culture, than which nothing is more sacred or important, sufficiently important.

We're using Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" against this, by mocking it.

It goes against the grain with me also. :(
How do you propose that we rise up against our evil cafeteria monitors ???

We homeschooled through 8th grade. ;)
Nowadays, I'm not sure I would send them to HS either =|
-
There's a few private schools in the area that are excellent. Home schooling isn't a great option for us. I want my kid to have a solid math and science foundation, and as much as I love my wife, she's not in a position to provide that. So, without me staying home, it wouldn't work well.
-
I'm still stuck trying to make a pun using "triticale". :( If I ever get it, it'll be awesome.
(like that time Ted Baxter tried to make a knock knock joke with Anna Maria Alberghetti)
-
I don't care much for home schooling. There are several excellent private schools in my area, but they are very expensive... not racially exclusive, but cost makes them exclusive.
Pretty humorist about "sandwich" being racist. I thought it must be a sex thing.
-

Or our grammar, apparently.

And, if you did, it'd be spread pretty thick (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FTreacle&ei=SXJSUP3uKOfeiAKMw4HQDg&usg=AFQjCNFAEGSXfjqJGTn7bsvS6XgiqLDRLg&sig2=49JqDnoyo2QMZDZqpju3Ew).
-

Yeah.
That's the sort of ending-preposition-avoidance phrasing up with which we will not put.
-
Sorry. I should have said, "Or our grammar, apparent."

Probably, the words "soap" and "running water" are racist too :P
-
Any word at all can be labeled racist by these idiots. They can do this because the rest of society allows them to control the discussion.
