Seattle teachers to wear 'Black Lives Matter' T-shirts for a week, sparking debate

About 1,000 Seattle Public Schools teachers will wear Black Lives Matter T-shirts all next week in what they say is a bid to raise awareness about racial injustice within the school district.

Throughout the week, they’re encouraging teachers to have race-related lesson plans and they’re offered resources to guide the conversation.

From the TV screens to social media to the classrooms at Garfield High, students are talking about racial injustices and Black Lives Matter.

“Some of them are for it, some of them are against it, some of them just don’t understand what it’s for and some of them think there’s no point to it and we should just get over it,” said Garfield High senior Bailey Adams.

The conversation sparked again after threats of violence were made at John Muir Elementary School where the group, “Black Men United,” planned to wear Black Lives Matter T-shirts and greet students.

The response is that many Seattle Public Schools teachers will wear Black Lives Matter T-shirts all next week. They’ve already pre-ordered 1,000 for teachers.

They’re not just wearing T-shirts. They’re changing the curriculum and dialogue in the classroom. Even providing resources and books to help teachers facilitate the conversations. But not everyone agrees with the method.

This is exactly what is wrong with education. It is supposed to be academics, not social engineering. We are far below other countries in education when we take time out of the curriculum to foster reading, writing and math. So while they spend this time on their protests, something else in the curriculum gets overlooked.

If cities want to make a difference, they could do it on their own time and make those t shirts address the real problem...and put this on the t shirts: "Stop Gang Violence!" How many times of innocent children been in the path of bullets in the inner cities? That's what matters!

No wonder the kids in Seattle are so fucked up and on heroin.

Yeah, sure. Like this is the greatest crisis or important issue of the day we need to solve as a nation. Why don't these teachers try to protest the lack of progress our government has not done on urban gang violence, black poverty and abdication of parental responsibilities, and extremely poor education. Or aren't teachers too hung up about that, just whatever political leanings their unions are peddling with their dues?

No dress code for these teachers?

and it was right in front of your face the whole time...

Sparking Debate
​

Let's imagine, for a moment, that their Insidious Plan succeeds and a debate is sparked.

Part of that debate SHOULD include a dispassionate review of the data on killings of civilians by police........it may demonstrate that BLM's complaints are valid - in which case they should be addressed...

It may turn out that they are NOT valid......in which case the Nation can reasonably be cleared of that particular Taint of Racism.....

A systematic study would establish the SCALE of the problem (if there is one)......then you and your ilk will have actual data with which you can contrast the toll of police killings with that of black on black violence....

Just sayin....

It's not only Seattle, every major city...on coming to you very soon!

It's not particularly urban in character......it is a consequence of the promiscuous prescription of Oxycontin.....When the scrips run out, Heroin turns out to be a relative bargain...

It's not only Seattle, every major city...on coming to you very soon!

Just one more reason why intelligent parents will NEVER, EVER allow any of their children inside a Public School.

d them to Catholic or local Christain school.

Send them to Catholic or local Christain school.

They'll be home schooled. I have no more interest in having them religiously indoctrinated than the socialist indoctrination in the public school system.

May the students come to school wearing All Lives Matter shirts.

God bless you and them always!!!
