Jersey Jazzman: Great Moments In White People Cluelessness

Jersey Jazzman: Great Moments In White People Cluelessness:


Great Moments In White People Cluelessness

From Matt Kramer, Co-CEO of Teach For America:
As white person, I thk role of white ppl in ed reform is a fair Q. But, I believe answer lies in allyship, not abdicating responsibility.
So please don't get so upset, black parents, when Matt sends privileged, young, white, untrainedunqualified,uncommitted "teachers" into your children's schools, even as TFA racks up a billion dollars and shoves career teachers out on to the street.

After all, he's willing to admit it's "fair" to talk about race - just so long as you agree to engage in "allyship" with him. Golly, aren't you lucky?
