Member of Washington School Board Under Fire for Saying ‘Crack the Whip’

WFB:

A Washington state school-board member is under fire for using the phrase “crack the whip” during a virtual board meeting—a phrase his critics say is racist.

During a Dec. 14 board meeting for the Clover Park School District, board member Paul Wagemann told his colleagues that “we need to crack the whip” on the 10 percent of students in the district who do not graduate. Following his comment, fellow board members told Wagemann his comments were “racist,” and community activists kickstarted a petition calling for Wagemann to resign.

Wagemann told the Washington Free Beacon that he will not apologize for his comments because he does not believe they are racist. In fact, he believes “cracking the whip” will promote equitable outcomes. read more

  1. What he was really thinking, of course:

    “Wait…I’ll get them niggers movin’…by God I’ll crack my whip on their backsides before you can say “Dixie”…I’ll get ’em to pick so much cotton in the next couple of days they won’t know there asses from a hole in the ground”.

  2. If Einstein was more interested in helping the students to get their grades up and graduate, it will contribute more to the school interested in some selves,
    I guess he wants to be a racial purist like Adolf Hitler was.

  3. Is Snidely Whiplash going to removed from the Dudley Do Right cartoons next. And what about the name Dudley Do Rights as well since it’s bound to piss off some ninny Karen. Or Dishonest John on Beany and Cecil. Or Heckell and Jeckell because they’re black and they mock people and make fun of them. Oh and we all know about how Disney has removed the black crows from Dumbo due to political correctness. Or Speedy Gonzalez and his cousin Slowpoke Rodriquez because they make fun of Mexicans. Tonto the Lone Ranger’s sidekick has also got to go Kemosabe.
