Illinois teacher says term ‘white privilege’ is as offensive as N-word

[NYPOST] An Illinois school has launched an investigation after a teacher claimed "white privilege" was as offensive as the N-word, according to reports.

The Palatine High School teacher, who was not identified, prompted backlash when she said in since-deleted Facebook posts that calling out white privilege was racist, news station WGNTV reported.

"I find the term ’white privilege’ as racist as the N-word. You have not walked in my shoes either so do not make assumptions about me and my so-called privilege," she reportedly wrote.

The educator, who teaches social studies, apparently then went on to call Jesse Jackson and civil rights hustler Al Sharpton
...Tawana Brawley's spiritual advisor...
"race-baiters," the outlet said.

"You think America is racist? Then you have been hoodwinked by the white liberal establishment and race-baiters like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton," she wrote.

#2 /\ If former President Lyndon Johnson were still around he might not be in full agreement. In gentlemanly terms, perhaps his view might simply be referred to as a 'getting out the vote' issue.

#3 #2 I believe the esteemed gentleman would've remarked that 'these people' are becoming d@mned independent as well as undependable. And that before meeting Ilhan Omar.

Therefore she will be destroyed.

#6 Local activist Tim McGowan, who recently organized a Black Lives Matter protest, called for the school to fire the teacher, news station WMAQ reported.

Left-wing activists don't like it when their political correctness is directed their way.
