• Teachers at respected East Manhattan elementary school, PS 59 Beekman Hill International School set the assignment to a fourth grade class and tried to hand it out to another before a complaint was made. A student teacher lifted the lid on the controversial assignment after being asked to photocopy it. State Senator calls for teacher who drafted assignment and the one who most recently set it to her class to be removed.

Outraged parents have hit out at a New York elementary school after it emerged 9-year-old pupils were being set math problems about the killing and beating of slaves yesterday.

Two questions on a homework assignment set by a teacher at PS 59 Beekman Hill International have caused uproar for asking pupils to subtract the number of dead slaves from alive ones and calculate the number of times a slave was whipped over a month.

'One slave got whipped five times a day. How many times did he get whipped in a month (31 days)? Another slave got whipped nine times a day. How many times did he get whipped in a month? How many times did the two slaves get whipped together in one month?,' read one question. ...

     How about math questions highlighting the vastly disproportionate black-on-white violent crime rates?  Seriously, the U.S. and other Western nations run around the world fighting anti-democratic insurgencies, but don't seem to realize that these things, like the story above, represent simmering black, Latino, Muslim and other insurgencies right in their own backyards, most of which Western ruling elites have brought on themselves--and the rest of us!--by believing that they can ship in millions of people from incompatible cultures and then replace, say, Englishmen or Frenchmen with, say, Iraqis or Somalis, or you name it, and Western civilization will just keep humming happily right along. 

     Critics of such clueless off-planet utopianism are often called things like "haters" or "white supremacists," but aren't the real white supremacists those who believe that Western culture is so superior that you can just throw anyone into its current big multicultural stew pot and they will be magically transformed into being oriented toward Western values, respecting things like freedom of speech or religion? But why should they? Such values may play no part of their own cultural traditions, which are to them just as obviously sane and sensible as our core cultural values are to us.
