This is critical race theory in action in the educational system.
Equity replaces equality with segregation meant to “help” minorities by creating separate spaces to give them extra help, but one Atlanta mom wasn’t having it.
Parent Kila Posey still can’t believe a principal thought separating students by race was a good idea.
“We’ve lost sleep like trying to figure out why would a person do this,” Posey said.
She told Jones she was stunned when she learned about classes segregated by race at Mary Lin Elementary School last year.
A practice put in place and condoned by principal Sharyn Briscoe, according to Posey.
“First, it was just disbelief that I was having this conversation in 2020 with a person that looks just like me — a Black woman,” Posey said. “It’s segregating classrooms. You cannot segregate classrooms. You can’t do it.”
So you would think. But here we are anyway. This is your school. This is your school on anti-racism that brings back segregation to fight racism.
Posey said she found out the school was putting Black students in two separate classes with two separate teachers.
The white kids were placed in six classes with six different teachers.
The parent said she found this out when she let Briscoe know she wanted her child placed in the classroom of a teacher she thought would be a good fit.
Posey said the principal told her that wouldn’t work.
“She said that’s not one of the Black classes, and I immediately said, ‘What does that mean?’ I was confused. I asked for more clarification. I was like, ‘We have those in the school?’ And she proceeded to say, ‘Yes. I have decided that I’m going to place all of the Black students in two classes,’” Posey said.
Posey said she insisted her child be placed in a class with white students. She said Briscoe explained her child would be isolated.
“I explained to her she shouldn’t be isolated or punished because I’m unwilling to go along with your illegal and unethical practice,” Posey said.
It’s confusing for normal people when they discover that segregation was brought back overnight.
Despite Democrats championing the practice, it is actually extremely illegal. And so there was legal recourse.
The Poseys recorded a call with an assistant principal where they complained about the segregated classes. The administrator confirmed it was the principal’s decision and seemed to offer an explanation for why the classes were set up this way.
“I just wish we had more Black kids, and then some of them are in a class because of the services that they need,” the administrator said on the recording.
Here’s that racist anti-racism.
Her attorney Sharese Shields said what’s going on at Mary Lin is a violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
“Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 says that you cannot treat one group of people differently based upon race, and that is what is going on at Mary Lin,” Shields said.
That is true. It would be nice if the Supreme Court and federal judiciary actually took that to heart instead of finding loopholes.
Posey isn’t satisfied. She told Jones that she wants the principal and her administration removed for even allowing a system of segregated classes at the school.
“My community, had they known about this, would probably be extremely upset. Not just the Black parents but also white parents,” Posey said.
Everyone should be mad as hell that the Democrats managed to bring back segregation a second time.
