Agree with djacques....and the headline is written to get people's attention for clicks...even though it has no basis on the article. And amazing what stuff keeps going around and around, like on FB, which are quite old.

No different than Sheila Jackson Lee saying NOAA was racist and hurricane names were too "lily white".

If you order vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate, you are a racists.

You never get tired of this simplistic, made-up stuff sent to you from Breitbart, do you?
Who has never heard of a pb&j sandwich??

As a data point, I'm a liberal, and I just think they're disgusting.

The original point, of course, is that it's a good idea to discuss with your students using a reference frame they feel at home in. Which seems pretty gorram obvious, unless you're in Breitbart's target audience.

Me, until I moved to the US. It's not a universal comfort food.

Why, because it doesn't spell it out? They say that it is insensitive to use the sandwich as an example and that the teachers must understand their own "white privilege". Do they seriously think that saying torta instead of pb&j in an example will make a hispanic student do better?

I guess immigrant children who just arrived in this country and went right to school.
How many of those do we have in the US ?

That many that they had to spend a few million to "educate" their staff on PC diversity ?
