[Why These Teachers Matter and Why Every Teacher Should Care by Kristel Foster] "The 11 Ethnic Studies teachers, standing up for their students and against injustice in Arizona...Standing up against HB2281, to keep one ethnic studies program in TUSD, matters....Teachers have to start protecting what we know is right, refusing to do what is wrong, and take back our profession..." Full text

Are these teachers in Arizona right? They are being called

racists because they believe that all students should be treated as one race--the human race (Ac 17:26). Should students be separated by ethnicity?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Fixed it for you [the white race]. Basically, this is what it comes down to."

Are you a supporter or La Raza?

Mexican students are being taught to hate America in public schools (La Raza approved

). Is this a good thing?

Attorney General Tom Horne, AZ says differently. He said on Bill Bennett's program today that Mexican students are being encouraged to hate this country. Their parents in most cases are unaware of this. It is another example of the failure of a godless public school system.

Do you believe in American exceptionalism? Should public schools be teaching this?

"...If Tom Horne said it it must be true. How exactly are Mexican students being taught to hate America?"

Ethnic studies courses do not tend to be pro-America and her values.

When Obama had the opportunity to discuss the Judeo-Christian values of our nation at the recent "memorial service," he chose to promote Native American paganism. Most of the victims were Christians.

Why do you think

he would do this?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Once again, I fixed for you [pro-white conservative]..."

I got it the first time.

Do you hate white people?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...If Tom Horne said it it must be true. How exactly are Mexican students being taught to hate America?"

Ethnic studies courses do not tend to be pro-America and her values.

When Obama had the opportunity to discuss the Judeo-Christian values of our nation at the recent "memorial service," he chose to promote Native American paganism. Most of the victims were Christians.

Why do you think

he would do this?

American values are, as Dennis Prager put it: 'In God we Trust', Liberty and E pluribus unum, Latin for 'out of many, one'. They are not European values of: secularism, equality and multiculturalism.

We do not care where you come from, once you're here: learn English, accept our American values, and pursue happiness.

Can a nation survive when it teaches its young people to hate its values? Is assimilation a good thing or a bad thing? Which

political party gains power by keeping certain people groups down?

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "You don't like equality? Wow, That explains a lot."

That's correct. You and I have the right to pursue happiness. We do not have a right to happiness.

[We do not care where you come from, once you're here: learn English, accept our American values, and pursue happiness.] "Why don't you get over yourself for crying out loud? Do you just hate everyone and everything?"

No. I like the English language, Judeo-Christian ethics (not theology), and happiness.

You do not?

[Do you hate conservatives?] No. I love them too, I just disagree with much (certainly not all) of that ideology. I can love white conservatives and still believe that brown and black and red people who may be liberal or libertarian or apolitical should still be able to value and learn about other cultures or ethnicities (even white conservatives can do that - and should do that, I think).

Can you learn about other cultures or ethnicities from white conservatives? Why do you say "...[E]ven white conservatives can do that...". And why the 'white conservative' comment in the first place? Ac 17:26.

Response to comment [from other]: [Are you a supporter or La Raza? Mexican students are being taught to hate America in public schools. Is that a good thing?] "I see you're trying to revive that Ol' Christian Bigot Spirit."

Response to comment [from other]: "What does Judeo Christian ethics have to do with America?"

Response to comment [from other]: "Perhaps you've yet to realize the world doesn't revolve around you."

Ad hominem. Who cares about me? The world is sustained and upheld by Jesus (2 Pe 3:10).

Strawman.

Do you dislike white, English speaking Americans?

Not sure why you took issue with the earlier statement (e.g. boarders, language, cultural values). Perhaps you could clarify.

And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death [Exod. 21:16].

"God did not approve of slavery at all and, in fact, He condemned it. It was a great system in that day, but God dealt with it."

McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 1:ix-271

For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;

Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? [Philem. 15–16].

"Since Onesimus has become a believer, his status and relationship to Philemon are different. He is still a slave according to the Roman law, but he is more than that to Philemon. He is now a beloved brother."

McGee, J. Vernon: Thru the Bible Commentary. electronic ed. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1997, c1981, S. 5:500

"You should abandon your bigot mindset immediately, and stop cherry picking verses to cover your tracks."
