Shameful waste of money and resources in the name of so called diversity. We need to stop writing a blank check to the New Trier School District and require the school board to start using less of the district coffers. Time to move out of Illinois!!!

When I hear them talk about people of color or from other minority groups such as those in the LGTBQ community, it's frankly, embarrassing. They use words like- friend, classmate, teammate, lab partner, member of my study group, sorority sister, coach, professor, teacher, roommate, mentor and doctor...to name a just few. There's no qualifiers or adjectives preceding them, e.g. "black" teammate or "lesbian" professor. Thank god Dr Yonke and the NT School Board are there to teach all of us racist, misogynistic, xenophobic and homophobic deplorables how to do our job as parents! Because as everyone knows, if there's one place that breeds intolerance and exclusion, it's New Trier Township and without Yonke and her merry band's watchful guidance and expert tutelage, we as parents would certainly continue unleashing upon the community the same insensitive, ignorant and bigoted little monsters as ourselves! Also, put me down in favor of replacing the reciting of Pledge of Allegiance each morning with the playing of John the Author's "BlackEnomics".....

There is no balance with speakers on the other side of the debate. I went to the first seminar last year as a senior at New Trier and thought it was absurd how biased the day was to the progressive view of today's civil rights movement. If this day were grounded in facts about Martin Luther King Jr. or the Civil Rights movement of the 60s, I would support it without a doubt. But this presents no fairness on an issue that is surely two-sided despite the school's intention at telling the students how to think. It appears that the education system of the country as a whole is attempting to indoctrinate adolescents to become progressives at an even younger age than college, (of which the bias is widely known and prevalent) without promoting the mental well-being and free thought essential to their development.

If they feel strongly about their issues, than they should relocate to an underprivileged area and rebuild that neighborhood from within

]]> Tue, 21 Feb 2017 05:18:53 UTC 21070123 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/21070049?utm_medium=rss I'm 36 and now a teacher but I attended NT from 1995-1999. I remember a similar seminar day back then that only made me feel terribly guilty about my upbringing and heritage (Irish decent). But guess what? I learned to empathize with all people from MY PARENTS and being the real word. I took a low paying job not because of SEMINAR DAY but bc i genuinely wanted to make a difference. I remember hating this day in highschool.

It is alarming to me that: 1/ the administration failed in its legal obligation and educational mission to design a seminar day with this in mind; and, 2/ despite repeated attempts by parents to have input into designing the event to be more balanced, the administration has frozen out anyone with a different perspective than its own. I have no objection to NT students hearing the perspective of the left-wing speakers who have been invited. I do object to the fact that a far left perspective is the only one students will hear on seminar day. I will be doing everything in my power to help recall or defeat Board members who are backing this illegal propaganda day.

Such a view is not accomplished by deriving viewpoints exclusively from a vengeance-based, progressive view where all races are ipso facto antagonistic to one another (one variety has to "loose" for the other to "win", and so forth). This exclusive view taught as fact is so saddening and wrong, and must be fought by decent parents and intellectuals.
