Your stimulus money at work. The Omaha Public Schools have spent $130,000 in federal stimulus money to buy 8,000 copies of the book, one for every OPS employee, from principals to teachers to custodial staff.

The book is sort of a combination of Freud meets Marx, and does more to stifle conversation and open-mindedness than it does to inspire it. In fact it is an unabashed attempt to force a the PC mindset of the Federal Govt down our throats.

One paragraph will point out the absurdity of this clunker;

Table 2.4 on page 25 highlights the unhealthy and healthy perspectives associated with the left and the right of the cultural proficiency continuum. Displayed is the fundamental shift in perspective, between the left and right sides of the continuum that comes about when adopting the principles of cultural proficiency as core beliefs and the use of essential elements as standards of action.

The authors assert that American government and institutions create advantages that “channel wealth and power to white people,” that color-blindness will not end racism and that educators should “take action for social justice.”

The Omaha school board approved buying 8,000 copies of the book — one for every employee, including members of the custodial staff — in April. The decision to buy the book was made 11-0, with board member Mary Ellen Drickey passing on the vote.
