| Illinois teacher says term ‘white privilege’ is as offensive as N-word |
| 2020-06-12 |
| [NYPOST] An Illinois school has launched an investigation after a teacher claimed "white privilege" was as offensive as the N-word, according to reports. The Palatine High School teacher, who was not identified, prompted backlash when she said in since-deleted Facebook posts that calling out white privilege was racist, news station WGNTV reported. "I find the term ’white privilege’ as racist as the N-word. You have not walked in my shoes either so do not make assumptions about me and my so-called privilege," she reportedly wrote. The educator, who teaches social studies, apparently then went on to call Jesse Jackson and civil rights hustler Al Sharpton ...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor... "race-baiters," the outlet said. "You think America is racist? Then you have been hoodwinked by the white liberal establishment and race-baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton," she wrote. |

| #6 Local activist Tim McGowan, who recently organized a Black Lives Matter protest, called for the school to fire the teacher, news station WMAQ reported. Left-wing activists don't like it when their political correctness is directed their way. |

| #2 /\ If former President Lyndon Johnson were still around he might not be in full agreement. In gentlemanly terms, perhaps his view might simply be referred to as a 'getting out the vote' issue. |
