Glenn Singleton's Cultural Revolution in Chapel Hill
Unfortunately, methods of this type, now rejected as barbaric in China, have become standard practice in the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools of North Carolina: "When I am told about our national heritage or 'civilization,' I am
shown that people of my race made it what it is."
Or"I can take a job with an affirmative action employer without having
co-workers on the job suspect that I got it because of race."
Teachers who feel situations are"often true" put down fives. Threes are
for"sometimes true" and zeroes are for"seldom true."
After tallying their scores, teachers write the number down, wear them
around their necks and line up from highest to
lowest.
In an exercise called"The Color Line," they [teachers] answer 26 questions on a 0
to 5 scale, such as:
The man responsible for this exercise is Glenn Singleton of the Pacific Educational Group. As King Banaian, Jesse Walker, Harry Brighouse, John Rosenberg, and Vincent Carroll have noted, Singleton's" courageous conversations" program is spreading rapidly.
He appears to have picked up the mantle from Jane Elliott, the most notorious of the"diversity experts" during the 1990s. Her film"Blue Eyed" shows a startling array of similar techniques of public intimidation.
In addition to Chapel Hill, the profit centers of Singleton's expanding financial diversity empire include the Cherry Creek school district in Colorado (which is paying his firm six figures), Bellevue Community College in Washington (secured courtesy of the Michelle Malkin and Wayne Perryman tag team), and many others.
This is all extremely depressing for those who value education and academic freedom. The worst part of it, however, is the groveling readiness of so many faculty to subject themselves to public degradation under the abusive eyes of Singleton's associates. Meanwhile, the same government schools and colleges that are wasting funds and time on this nonsense continue to dumb down standards and preside over the tyranny of low expectations for all students, black and white.
