Washington state is considering a plan that would give priority to minority and disadvantaged students when schools reopen in the fall following months of closure during the coronavirus pandemic. Like most state chief executives across the country, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee shuttered his state's public schools earlier in the year as part of a coronavirus mitigation plan. States have lately begun considering how they will re-open their schools in the fall, if at all. Education officials across the country have proposed various plans incorporating alternating schedules, "cohorting" of students, and distance learning programs, while others have suggested the entire upcoming school year may consist entirely of virtual classrooms.

Hadn’t thought of it from POV of OP and #1, but wonder if it will strike those segments of our society that their kids are to be the canaries sent into the mines? I was thinking that the best and brightest were being held back. But they may be better off learning on their own at home.

But I thought that they had to be in integrated classes in order to get the full benefit of schooling...

For sure, that means minority kids will get even worse education.

I'm fine with this. Let the minorities take each other out. Don't forget to send in the non-cis kids as well.

To which white and Asian parents say fine with us.
We'll open a home schooling co-op (volunteer teachers) and you can take your union and shove it somewhere.

Is this where they also don't have to wear masks because they might be seen as white?

This continues the idea that Black students are in need of special consideration and further denigrates them into victimhood.

The Left is looking to provoke a Race War. And by 'Race War' I mean violence between any disparate group of People to cause, or excuse violence that then causes the majority to turn to them for protection and Security. Nazis did this with the Jews. KKK did this with Blacks. The French did this with the Huguenauts... It's an old strategy of people who imagine themselves to b Elite, and their victims uninformed and malleable peasants.
They do this by little degrees, trying to cause greater and greater divisions between us, confident on their ability to place the blame...
The question is, will we let them succeed?

Now that's racist! But, it's typical leftism; black people are expendable in all of their plans.

In return the Whites should turn over the opportunity to the people of color to pay their taxes.

What will they do when they kick white kids out of school, and white kids still do better on standardized tests?

FTA: reopening plan that would "serve students furthest from educational justice first,"
What on earth is 'educational justice'? Is that the latest code for affirmative action?

The teachers in my state are rebelling at going back to their jobs, claiming they could catch Wuhan virus from the kids. My wife suggested that the governor should terminate the teachers' receiving full salaries as gov't employees until they actually return to work, so they can see how the rest of us have had to make do. Teachers will be more anxious to return to work if they are no longer paid a full salary while sitting at home doodling with little online exercises and "I miss you" texts and emails to their students.

So sad to see beautiful Washington State turn it's back on God's assurance of human equality, which is reflected in the U.S. Constitution which acknowledges and secures everyone's God given inherent equal Rights as human beings. Washington State is being severely damaged by the socialist tyrannical policies being adopted by dem pols in total opposition to America's freedoms.

The black kids sit in the same rooms as the others. They choose not to participate in their own education. Most of them are sent to school by their parent(s) for the free breakfast and free lunch. What makes them think they will suddently become brilliant and care about school. Yeah, good luck with that. I will say it again: You cannot live your life like a future contestant on Maury Povich and think you will have a good life.

Put them in their own schools again. They want to be special so let be special so as not to infect the white kids with their black culture.

The State of Washington may be faced with hate crimes against minorities for requiring their children to return to school ahead of white kids. LOL
I am so over the race discussion -- because whites aren't allowed to discuss race without being accused of being racists. If others want me to see their point of view, I want to be treated with respect. I don't want my language to be regulated. Isn't that what we all want for ourselves? I'm happy to talk with respectful people -- and there are many -- probably most! -- among minorities who are respectful to all folks, regardless of color.
But I won't talk to ideological thugs, many of whom have become physical thugs perpetrating physical violence and mayhem.

If I were a classroom teacher in Washington, I'd be furious with this. The three bozos who compiled the so-called "planning guide" have put together a great progressive document that insults just about every teacher in the state and every non-white student in the state. If there is the problem these political hacks claim there is, why has the state waited until now to address it?

OK with me if Inslee want to send in minority kids first. We will find out which schools have the highest infection rate. When they're safe again, the privileged white kids can go back to school safely
