No wonder the Stimulus worked so well: huge amounts spent on useful educational material like race-baiting manuals for teachers

When the full story of the "Stimulus" package is written -- trillions of dollars wasted since January 2009 -- you can be sure it will be rife with tales of waste, fraud and criminality. Oh, yeah. And race-baiting. The kind Jeremiah Wright is so famous for.

If I told you that your tax dollars (130,000 of them) went to buying a “diversity” manual that asserts the government and other institutions create advantages that “channel wealth and power to white people” and calls on educators to “take action for social justice,” what would you do? And if I told you that such a manual was required staff reading in Omaha, NE schools, what would you say?

Don’t believe me? Read on to learn about “The Cultural Proficiency Journey: Moving Beyond Ethical Barriers Toward Profound School Change.”

The book is a manifesto on cultural awareness. But what it calls for, some might say, is quite counter-cultural. The Omaha World-Herald details some of the work’s jaw-dropping statements.

For example, the book includes a quiz that determines a teacher’s cultural proficiency.

"Only those educators who acknowledge the existence of white privilege in America, that ‘white’ is a culture in America and that race ‘is a definer for social and economic status’ can reach proficiency,” the Herald notes. And those who don’t? They’re asked what they will do “to align yourself with the values expressed."

How much of the taxpayers' money has been wasted on this disgusting tripe? Actually, no one knows, though the publisher's website lists the following school systems as "clients".

• Bakersfield Unified School District, California
• Byram Hills School District, New York
• Cecil County Public School System, Maryland
• Carroll County Public School System, Maryland
