A Minneapolis teachers union contract stipulates that white teachers will be laid off or reassigned before “educators of color” in the event Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) needs to reduce staff.
After the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) and MPS struck a deal on March 25 to end a 14-day teacher strike, the two sides drew up and ratified a new collective bargaining agreement complete with various proposals.
One of the proposals dealt with “educators of color protections.” The agreement states that if a non-white teacher is subject to excess, MPS must excess a white teacher with the “next least” seniority.

Cannot see this happening. I gather there is a union and the provision is generally last hired, first fired. Great proposal for sowing dissatisfaction. This the Ben Crump proposal?

Honestly I agree in the sentiment, but it doesn't change the fact that this runs flat out counter to the equal protections offered under the 14th amendment.
But then again I suppose we've all been using different definitions of the word "equal" this whole time...

If ever there was a time for parents to pull their kids out of the Minneapolis public school system, now would be the time to do it. Let 'em see what their ridiculous racist policies actually look like.

White radical Leftist teachers have been paying into the union that is supposed to protect their government jobs...only to find their jobs are the first on the chopping block.
Hmm, I seem to recall hearing about a teacher shortage. A policy like this should really help boost recruiting of new white teachers coming out of teaching colleges...or maybe not.

Eh, let them. Those fired leftist whiteys are probably so brainwashed with white guilt that they will likely apologize for not quitting sooner in the first place.

So, keep teachers based on color and not merit or teaching competency? Suffer the little children so that the adults can feel comfy cozy?
Yea, that's looking out for your kids. Way to go adults? Score!

Later this month and early next month at some School Districts will kickoff the annual Teacher Extortion Contract strikes. Within these districts teachers will refuse to start classes until they are paid a 'fair wage' (read: Union wage). They'll march around in red t-shirts with pickets. Now white leftist teachers in Minneapolis have been thrown under the bus where they can enjoy a good thumping.

I got ask, is some thing like the against the law? I did not think you could hire or fire someone based on their skin color. With today's society tho they could all just identify as a person of color, right?
