Middle School Students Forced To Apologize For Being White and Christian Freedom Headlines Middle School Students Forced To Apologize For Being White and Christian Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Liberals nowadays are completely worked up about this myth known as white privilege meaning that just because someone is white, they innately have the upper hand in life compared to say a person of color. If you really want to push the privilege, through in being a white male. Now one North Carolina high school is declaring that being a Christian is something of a privileged position and they hate it so much that one teacher forced students at West Rockingham Middle School to stand up and formally apologize for their privilege According to Freedom Project, Amid a public uproar at a North Carolina school board meeting over far-left equity training for government-school teachers, allegations were made by furious parents that a teacher forced white and Christian students to stand up in class and apologize for their privilege. According to local parent Farren Wilkinson, who testified at the Rockingham School Board on May 8, a teacher in the district, later identified as Tarsha Clarke, bullied and publicly humiliated students in her class.I just want to share light on a situation that happened at Western Rockingham Middle School where a teacher caused some of her students to stand up and apologize to other students based on their unequal opportunities of education, said the mom. Wilkinson said, So I would like to know how our schools can allow an educator to humiliate, bully and degrade students, Wilkinson added, noting the obvious fact that children are not responsible or accountable for any inequalities that are believed to be present within the school system. This is not a matter of race but a matter of a teacher using fear and the embarrassment of children to satisfy her own personal anger or beliefs. The actions of this educator do not provide safe, nurturing, dynamic, and integrative learning. Through this article the school board needs to replace all administration and take action to strip this teacher of their teaching credentials.
