Racism and Sexism in a Teachers Union

San Francisco’s public schools have been offered a classroom lesson plan that calls President-elect Donald Trump a racist, sexist man who became president “by pandering to a huge racist and sexist base.”

The union that represents city teachers posted the plan on its website and distributed it via an email newsletter to its more than 6,000 members. The school district has more than 57,000 students.

This is what the United Educators of San Francisco has done.

Union President Lita Blanc said that even House Speaker Paul Ryan had called Trump’s campaign racist and sexist.

This is plainly false and another carefully manufactured union slur.  Ryan did indeed denounce certain of Trump’s remarks as racist and sexist.  But Ryan denounced those remarks; he did not denounce the entire campaign.  Blanc knows this.

It’s not just racism and sexism, it’s hypocritical racism and sexism to manufacture charges of racism and sexism out of the æther, and it’s especially so when the manufacturers do so knowing full well there is no racism or sexism present.

The Blame Game and Ducking Responsibility

Hillary Clinton told supporters Saturday that letters about her email practices sent by the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to Congress in the final days of the presidential race weighed heavily on her campaign and contributed to her defeat, according to a person who heard her remarks.

‘Tain’t my fault.  Nuh, uh.

Nonsense.  Say what anyone might wish—and there are a number of differing and valid views—about how FBI Director James Comey handled or mishandled the FBI’s investigation of Clinton.  Those remarks are irrelevant.

If Clinton hadn’t set up her private, unsecured email server on which she handled State Department official business and on which she feloniously handled classified information, there would have been nothing for Comey’s FBI to investigate.

You protest too much, Lady.  Full stop.

Broken Promises

The Left has some, albeit only the Left’s celebrities.  Recall some of those who promised they’d leave the country if Donald Trump were elected President.  Here’s how they’re doing so far.

  • Bryan Cranston, of Breaking Bad Who—me!?
  • Lena Dunham, actress Nooo!
  • Whoopi Goldberg, of The View among other enterprises I’m sorry to disillusion you, but I’m not leaving the country that I was born and raised in.  Never mind.
  • Barbra Streisand, singer crickets; although she said she’d leave if Bush the Younger were elected, and she never did then, either
  • Samuel L Jackson, actor (channeling Schumer, apparently): When you learn the difference between My Actual Opinion and a Kimmel Skit….
  • Chelsea Handler, comedian everyone in my office is like, “You have a responsibility, you have a voice and you need to use it and you have to be there.” Which, if that truly had mattered, she would have said at the start rather than promising to leave
  • Reverend Al Sharpton, Baptist Minister (also channeling Schumer?) That was said in jest!  Wait—what!?
  • Amy Schumer, comedian King’s X!  I didn’t mean it!  It was a joke!
  • Rosie O’Donnell, late of The View crickets

Broken promises.  Empty rhetoric.

The Violence of the Left

From coast to coast, demonstrators are burning flags and effigies of the president-elect while declaring that they refuse to accept Trump’s victory. But observers online are claiming that, in some cases, protesters were bused to the scenes—a telltale sign of coordination.

And

Others claimed to have found ads posted on CraigsList in which a Seattle-based non-profit was soliciting “Full-Time Activists.”

“We are looking for motivated individuals who are seeking Full-Time, Part-Time, and Permanent positions,” reads a line from the ad from Washington CAN! posted on Wednesday.

Is this the hatred of the Left, too?  Carefully organized?

The Left’s Blatant Bigotry

…continues.  A couple of examples illustrate the shame.

Here’s Jamelle Bouie, political writer for Slate in a tweet:

I didn’t quite understand how much white people hated us, or could at least live with that hate. Now I do.

He went on:

Donald Trump did what Romney and McCain wouldn’t do. He all but cried “nigger.” And it worked.

Because “white people” disagreed with this black man.

Rachel Maddow of MSNBC:

I’m thinking about President Obama too. I mean, to have the first African American President succeeded by a guy who was endorsed by the KKK…it’s a big deal.

It’s also a big deal that Democratic Party Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was endorsed by the California branch of the KKK, and she quietly accepted that endorsement, while Trump rejected the KKK endorsement of him.  Maddow carefully elided that news item.

And Jeff Jarvis, Professor, Director of Tow-Knight Center for Entrepreneurial Journalism at City University of New York:

I fear that journalism is irredeemably broken, a failure. My profession failed to inform the public about the fascist they are electing.

He’s right about journalism being broken.  It’s broken and untrustworthy for the blatant bias and deliberate mischaracterization he demonstrated in that second sentence.

Because those he’s decided are “uneducated and uninformed” are that because they disagree with this “journalist.”

Even Fox News‘ bastion of media criticism, Howard Kurtz, can’t bring himself to recognize this sewage as anything more than unattractive vitriol.

And then there are the Left’s rank and file, the equivalent of what no less a light than President Barack Obama has disparaged as bitter Bible-clinging, gun-toting denizens of flyover country.

Thousands of people coast-to-coast took to the streets Wednesday night to protest Donald Trump’s election, disrupting traffic, chanting anti-Trump slogans and some ending up in handcuffs.

From New England to heartland cities like Kansas City and along the West Coast, demonstrators bore flags and effigies of the president-elect, disrupting traffic and declaring that they refused to accept Trump’s victory.

These were far more than protestors, though, Fox News‘ decision to minimize their behavior as protests notwithstanding.  These were vandals who damaged private property, burned the American flag, lit fires in street intersections, shut down highways.

Because these toddlers didn’t get their way last Tuesday.

So much for binding up the wounds and coming together for the good of the nation after the election, as the Left’s own champions, Clinton and President Barack Obama, called for.  The bigots of the Left will never give up their divisiveness.  In a very Locke-ian sense, they’ve created themselves as outlaws.

The rest of the Left, hopefully the large majority of the Left, need publicly to disown these bigots among them, to separate themselves from this still too-active detritus of the Democratic Party’s past.
