2. The principle does seem to have a chip on her shoulder - maybe it's because her school performs in the lowest 15% in her state and she's tasked with improving that.
3. If you read the article you'll see that it's not about what people are or aren't eating - or how to name sandwiches - it's about this school having poor performance and the several, IMO, inept ways they're trying to improve things.
We get that it's not about what they are eating, we are just having fun with the ludicrous notion that PBJ represents "white privledge".
Granted however, that since I was a bologna eater I must be some sort of highly advanced alien race.
I read the article and came away with thinking this woman is anti-White which is discrimination but can't be discrimination because that only happens to non Whites.
She was a studdent of a group called Pacific Educational Group, which developed the "Courageous Conversations" program. This is on PEG's homepage and sums up what it teaches:
“At Pacific Educational Group we believe Systemic Racism is the most devastating factor contributing to the diminished capacity of all children, especially black children, to achieve at the highest levels, and contributes to the fracturing of the communities that nurture and support them.”
I have an "ethnic" first name - does that mean that I am exempt from the ability to be racist?
Depends. Have you now, or in the past, have possessed white skin that readily turns red in the sun, or have a European face? If you answer yes to this question, you might be a racist and not know it. If you answer no, you're good to go
I read the whole article, that lady is the poster child for what's wrong with affirmative action, and also a poster child for reverse discrimination... She almost seems like a caricature.
No such thing as reverse discrimination. Discrimination will do.
I had a friend from Canada, who was so poor, he had to eat lobster..... He said the other kids would pick on him, because he was so poor he had to eat lobster.
They couldn't afford to buy meat so they had to fish, and catch whatever they could. That meant lobster quite often. Must be rough.

Ironically, buying lobster from the store isn't cheap by any means

Worth a glance to see where the schools' are getting their philosophy and teaching materials.
She drank the whole pitcher of koolaid then. This is the part of the article that made me think that way.
Her school has a Drum Corps that is only open to Black and Hispanic boys. When confronted about that this is what she said: (from the OP link)
“When white people do it, it is not a problem, but if it’s for kids of color, then it’s a problem?” says Gutierrez, 40, an El Paso, Texas, native whose parents were Mexican immigrants. “Break it down for me. That’s your white privilege, and your whiteness.”
I demand that school cafeterias start serving bugs and rats to accommodate the 3rd world students.
