GREAT MOMENTS IN EDUCATION – AT 11:08 A.M. ET:  You can measure the deterioration of American education day by day.  From the College Fix: 

A St. Paul, Minnesota high school has been placed on “paid administrative leave” after the local Black Lives Matter organization threatened a “shutdown action” over a Facebook comment he had made.

Theo Olson of Como Park High School had complained about the lack of support teachers were getting in matters of student discipline.

On local BLM organizer Rashad Turner’s Facebook page, Olson “expressed frustration over the district not providing enough support to deal with ‘kids who won’t quit gaming, setting up fights, selling drugs, whoring trains or cyber bullying.’ The term ‘whore train’ is a reference to ‘inappropriate sexual activity.’”

Although Olson never mentioned race in his comments, Turner subsequently referred to him as a “white supremacist teacher.”

Turner and other members of BLM met with the district superintendent, Valeria Silva, this past Monday. Olson’s leave began on Wednesday.

And...

If Olson is a white supremacist, he has a funny way of showing it. For, in addition to his comments about discipline, Olson had written on Turner’s Facebook page that he follows BLM on social media, “and that he had marched with Turner at a protest on University Avenue.”

COMMENT:  Read the whole piece.  It's absolutely fascinating.  It isn't only white teachers who are threatened.  It's also black teachers who dare bring up the issue of student discipline.

The truth will not matter in the outcome of this case.  Political correctness, and the spinelessness of educators, will determine things.
