School President Forced to Apologize for Saying “All Lives Matter”
Back in 2014, a college president in Northampton, MA sent an email to students proclaiming “All Lives Matter.”
Obviously this statement was made in direct correlation to the shooting of Mike Brown in Ferguson, MO and the death of Eric Garner in New York.
Naturally, many liberals were outraged that a white school president voiced her opinion because they felt it took something away from a time in which Brown and Garner were to be canonized as “unarmed black men.”
By the way, since when has being “unarmed” ever meant the perp isn’t a threat?
From Fox News:
Kathleen McCartney wrote the phrase in the subject line of an e-mail to students at the school, whose alumni include feminists Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan, former First Lady Nancy Reagan and celebrity chef Julia Child. McCartney was attempting to show support for students protesting racially charged grand jury decisions in which police in Missouri and New York were not charged in the deaths of unarmed black men.
In response to student backlash, McCartney apologized in another campus-wide email Friday, saying she had made a mistake “despite my best intentions.”
“I regret that I was unaware the phrase/hashtag “all lives matter” has been used by some to draw attention away from the focus on institutional violence against Black people,” she wrote.
She quoted one student as saying: “It minimizes the anti-blackness of this the current situation; yes, all lives matter, but not all lives are being targeted for police brutality. The black students at this school deserve to have their specific struggles and pain recognized, not dissolved into the larger student body.”
Now, instead of unanimously supporting McCartney as all people should, teachers in Missouri are indoctrinating their students with the false notion that only black lives matter.
From Restoring America’s Traditions:
This is propaganda at its finest, and it needs to stop.
Why does it not matter to liberals and minorities that both Brown and Garner were in the wrong?
Why are they supporting criminals?
