Funding Pulled for Tuscon Ethnic Studies Courses

[Don]

Well the court upheld the withholding of funds for the racially segregated Mexican American ethnic studies courses in Tuscon AZ. The usual suspects are ranting and raving about "racism" blah, blah blah and demanding their "1st Amendment right" to a racially segregated classes. Isn't it interesting how it's now the non-white minorities who are demanding racially segregated classes, subject matter and curricula?

We are told that the problem is that minorities are only amenable to things that are "culturally relevant" to them and that Western civilization is not. I have heard the theory of "cultural relevance" offered by minority apologists for poor academic performance and the achievement gap. Minorities do poorly because "white culture" is not "relevant" to them. How interesting. Geometry was invented by ancient Greeks 3,000 years ago and algebra by Hindu's in the Indian subcontinent around the same time. What do whites have that is culturally in common with ancient Greeks and Hindu's from 2,500 BC? Well nothing at all. White kids learned algebra and geometry for centuries and we did our homework as we were told...or we got our a** es kicked.

The "cultural relevance" excuse is simply a theory of racial inferiority. Nothing more. Is there not a measure of irony that the theories of non-white racial inferiority are being promulgated by non-white races themselves? Is there not a measure of irony that the same minorities who tirelessly condemn racial "separatism" and "segregation" are now demanding racially segregated educations?
