one goal of cfj is to retain more teachers...that sounds fair, except their other goal is to have more teachers of color. So....I guess they should retain less teachers (white), and then fill the vacancy with teachers of color. Problem solved. Diverse teaching staff will promote better learning outcomes from students of color. If that theory holds, then it is fair to say that the white students would relate better to the teachers of whiteness.

All of this sounds like an underhanded way of promoting segregation.

I taught at risk youth in a N.Y.public high school, and the "hook" for getting students (of all colors, sexes, etc). involved, is mutual respect (challenging) and dynamic, informative subjects. (always challenging). This pie in the sky propaganda does all of us a disservice, especially the students.
