Can we beat Wealthy White American School Children and not Minorities and Retarded for one week,

[stopschoolpaddling]

…so each population can see what life is like for the other in America?

Please tune in to: Ten “TattleTales” Tell Their Story: A Dedication to US State Sect. of Ed. Arne Duncan, Sat. August 28, 10pm EST at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/paula-flowe.

Remember, Secretary Arne Duncan said at the Bullying Prevention National Summit: “Victims of ‘bullying’ are ‘Tattletales.’” August 11, 2010

We are hoping to draw the attention of an “unresponsive America,” a Nation in denial, to the fact that these “Tattletales” are victims of “bullying” targeted at them by US Government paid agents, your hard-earned tax dollars at work—yes, you are paying for the brutal treatment of our Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, the retarded, the physically disabled and those lacking verbal language among our American school children living in the “wrong” school districts for having safe nurturing classrooms.

These bullies are their: Teachers, Principals, Coaches, School bus drivers, Teacher-assistants and “uninvestigated” Volunteers.

Some will tell their stories even from the grave.

Our American school children are dying to receive your attention—some literally so.

Please don’t miss it. Please begin to wake up. We’re running out of time for helping them.

1. I have very fond memories of my sixth grade teacher.

If I ever see him again I will probably kill the son of a bitch. Him and a couple of Jr High PE teachers.

2. you are pretty much a discredit to your agenda...how bout not beating ANY kids? nt

[stopschoolpaddling]

3. We do want any children to be beaten with a paddle in school

that is why the bill will ban it for all children but we are frustrated by the lack of concern and indifference by the public and know that if indeed this was happening to wealthy white american children it would never be tolerated. Can anyone deny that fact? We are just pointing that out here. Nothing else.

6. um - Arne Duncan in NO WAY said that...

here's what he said,

"Instead, schools should be cultivating a culture of trust and accountability. A culture of trust empowers students to tell teachers and other adults when bullying is occurring. It teaches students that should have a sense of responsibility for the well-being of other students. In schools that just say no to bullying, students who report other students are not tattle-tales, but acting responsibly, keeping students safe, and holding bullies accountable for their mistreatment.


his entire speech from that day: http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/myths-about-bullying-secretary-arne-duncans-remarks-bullying-prevention-summit

some more excerpts: (public domain)

"You have heard all the excuses. You have heard the lineup of reasons to minimize the gravity of bullying and to dismiss the potential of effective programs to reduce it. "What can you do," people say, "bullying has been going on forever. Kids are mean." Or "she just made a bad joke." "He didn't mean to hurt anyone." "It was just a one-time thing." "Bullying may be wrong. But it really isn't an educational issue." At the heart of this minimization of bullying, is a core belief that bullying is an elusive concept that can't really be defined.

Every one of those myths and excuses I've just cited is flat-out wrong. Bullying is definable. It has a common definition, and a legal definition in many states. Good prevention programs work to reduce bullying. And bullying is very much an education priority that goes to the heart of school performance and school culture.

The truth is that bullying is ultimately an issue of school safety. Kevin Jennings often talks about the fact that school safety is a much broader issue than the shootings and gang violence that make the evening news.

Bullying is part of that continuum of school safety. It is troubling in and of itself. But bullying is doubly dangerous because if left unattended it can rapidly escalate into even more serious violence and abuse. Just as you have gateway drugs, bullying is gateway behavior. Too often it is the first step down the road to one of the tragic incidents of school violence we all have watched in horror on the evening news.

-more - so very much more here.

I don't care who of you "hates" Arne Duncan - this is a very powerful and positive message and you should read it. Please. Put your hatred aside on every other issue and read this speech as it applies to bullying.
