“Restorative Justice”. It’s a dishonest crock.

Posted on March 23, 2015 by KG

‘A development repeated elsewhere, in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Oakland, Santa Ana and Syracuse, and all of which is no doubt bewildering to such educators as Eric Butler, a “restorative justice co-ordinator,” whose prideful mantra is “I don’t blame, I don’t punish.”
How very generous of him.
After a black high-school boy repeatedly punched his teacher in the face, sending her to the emergency room, the teacher, who is white, was advised by the assistant principal not to press charges. The administrator lectured her about how hard it is for young black men to overcome a criminal record. Worse, she was told she should examine what role she, “as a white woman” holding unconscious racial biases, played in the attack…
A white sixth-grade teacher at a mostly black Washington, DC, school told the US Commission on Civil Rights she had similar “conversations” in which she was told that the bad behaviour of black boys is mainly the teacher’s fault. “I have been encouraged to examine and question how my own racial dispositions affect my teaching and my students,” Andrea Smith testified. During cultural sensitivity training required of school districts under restorative justice programmes, teachers are told they are largely to blame for bad behaviour of black students because they “misinterpret” African-American culture…’

    Its a dishonest crock for other reasons. Instead of people in prisons, you just fine them, it goes to the victim, and its cheaper to the government. And their are malicious liars who will make up stuff about people to get more money. They wouldn’t be doing it, if the punishement was that they just got locked up. So fundamentally, its a sham. But this just adds to it.

    Fred Reed is going to have a field day on this one.

    Y’know, nine times out of ten you get what you deserve. Maybe Ms White there will think about a move to flyover country where getting bashed isn’t part of the student-driven curriculum.

    Bring in voluntary segregation so that black teachers can get punched in the face by black students. I’d be thrilled to hear what their limberdick explanation for that would be.

    I was briefly a high school social studies teacher in Melbourne, Florida for three years after I retired from the Army in 1986.

    Melbourne, Florida in those days was 95% white, middle class and general a pretty mellow beachside community in Brevard County, but one lesson I learned well only a few weeks after becoming a newly certified teacher – never, never, NEVER turn your back on your class.

    I failed to remember Rule Number One of Teaching and was rewarded with a block of wood in the back of my head thrown by a problem student that I hadn’t I.D.ed as a troubled kid.

    I had to go to the ER for snitches and the black J.D. that threw the wood block ended up rather quickly in police custody – after he “fell down” several times as I took him to the Dean’s Office.

    The school – Melbourne High – expelled him for the reminder of the year. I pressed charges that resulted in a 90 day J.D. jail, which in Florida at the time was ran like Army boot camp with wonderful results.

    The following year after this incident, Junior Troublemaker appeared back in one of my classes and the two of us had a little private chat off the record after I dismissed the class. The long and short of it was that if he so much as touched me or any other teacher at Mel Hi, I would kill him. :mrgreen:

    Best medicine to deal with those types is humiliation,bring back the switches and dunce caps.Failing that Glocks and tazers,that way they leave school prepared for their short careers as common criminals.

    Ah, those were the good old days. In my days, if you misbehaved they depantsed/down troughed you in front of the class, that is according to my friends who went to public school.

    That’s how they kept order and control in the classroom. By making the consequences for misbehaving lethal.

    Ah yes Warren, but that sort of thing in Public Schools was another matter entirely. :twisted:

    Which prepared you for the future. Principle always, wear a belt, or always watch your back, in case of a student who wanted to embarass you :oops: . But yeah, I was referring to being punished by the teacher. They took out corporal punishement, so they had to do something to keep order. Haa, haa, haa. :lol:

    Ronbo’s solution is the right one. It’s just obvious the teacher needs to whomp disruptive kids so they NEVER want to offend again. Alternatively, one strike and your in extended reeducational detention. It’s unbelievable what we tolerate, and I don’t just mean in the schools!

    Forcing blacks on whites does NOT work for either, so best double-down on the lunacy :evil:
