Burning Out Teachers

[From article]
in Paterson, NJ, a first-grade teacher became the focus of a witch hunt for using a social network as a coping mechanism. While decompressing, she vented on her Facebook page, "I'm not a teacher -- I'm a warden for future criminals!" Despite her forewarning being statistically credible, the blatant disrespect to the PC gods resulted in her termination. Political correctness is another untaught skill that must be mastered by teachers who want to survive inner-city schools.

Coincidentally, these numbers are comparable to the incarceration rates between Blacks and Whites, but I digress. The Obama administration created the African-American Education Initiative, which illogically wants public schools to reduce disciplinary actions against Black students. Overall, disciplining Black students is really a slippery slope, especially if the teacher is White. Whenever a White teacher disciplines a black student, the unspoken burden of proof is on the White teacher to prove that he/she isn't racist.
