    Default A ‘Blacks Only’ Field Trip Has Parents Stunned and Outraged

    A ‘Blacks Only’ Field Trip Has Parents Stunned and Outraged

    An Indiana school district is coming under fire after planning an upcoming field trip that would only allow black students to attend, and it has both white and black parents crying foul.

    ABC57 reported that a total of seven schools in the South Bend school district*are participating in two separate trips to three colleges in the area, but only students who are*African-American are allowed to participate in the field trip.

    Dr. G. David Moss is*the director of the African-American student/parent support department and he said “I want these third graders to have the opportunity to think of themselves as college students.”* According to The South Bend Tribune,*Moss was formerly a senior consultant with the Office of Student Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.

    Parents*of different ethnic*backgrounds have raised objections to Moss’ plan to exclude students who aren’t black.

    Charles Yost, a parent of one of the students,*said “We should be able to do everything together and not separate,” *and*Deirdra Mullings, who has a child participant in one of the field trips,*added “I feel like all kids should be going.”

    Erika Herron is one parent who agrees with what Moss is trying to accomplish, by excluding students. Herron said “I don’t think it’s a race issue. I think they’re giving black children a chance.”

    “It was not meant to be exclusionary. It was only meant to support and give these kids what they need to think positively about themselves and about their future,”
    said Moss.
    I was hired to look at the issues facing African-American kids in the South Bend Community Schools Corporation and my job specifically says that I need to develop programs and develop strategies to help these kids and their families become more successful academically.

    Some students embarked on the trip Thursday, while others will be going Monday.

    I can’t help but wonder how people would be acting differently if it were a ‘whites only’ field trip and black students were disallowed from participating. The ACLU and NAACP would have a field day, no doubt about it.

    This double-standard that allows the segregation based on situation is what promotes*racial divide and it’s*the very thing that Martin Luther King, Jr., campaigned against. There is no such thing as “separate but equal”.

    Good lord, keep a stiff upper lip mate!
    This is pretty good wingnut comedy, I will give you that.

    But if you want me to even think about shedding a tear, don't give me school field trip crap. Let me know when you get beat up by cops, denied a job, denied a loan, or denied your right to vote based on your skin color.

    No doubt though, the premise of the white conservative male "victim" has significant comedy value. Carry on!

    This is a paranoid anti government site, it was formed after our first black president showing its true color as a racist, ignoramus place for other nutcases. Weird how racism manages the mind of some people? It's articles are most likely fake or exaggerated nonsense for its choir of idiots. Hate is so powerful an emotion among some whites. They should be DNA tested and shown they may not be perfect specimens of humanity per their own ignorant thinking.

    AW yes; Cyprus finally shows that he’s OK with racism and bigotry, as long as it’s not White’s who are the ones being racist and bigots.

    Then it should be no problem for you to refute the article, with something that reveals something different.

    Let the school district plan whites only field trips and let's see if Erika expresses that same opinion about not thinking it's a race issue.

    Cyprus automatically played that race card assuming that all the things he listed as happening to black happened due solely to race. Cyprus doesn't have a problem with racism when it's blacks being racist.
