If you’re a new teacher in Beloit, and you’re white, sorry, you’re outta luck

You can’t make this stuff up.

When school starts the Beloit School District will have 71 new teachers.

Two teachers are black.

Sixty-nine teachers white.

Some of the teachers will get their moving expenses paid for and some will not.

Guess who?

The Beloit Daily News has the story.

I love this.

The School District of Beloit’s Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Administration and Equity (is) Darrell Williams. The Assistant Superintendent of Equity was asked to defend inequity. He played the dumb card.

When asked why the moving expenses were not paid for others, he said, “I don’t know why they weren’t offered it as well. Every new teacher is completely different. Each case is different.”

So much for all the supposed smarts a superintendent is supposedly supposed to have.

Can you imagine the uproar if the story was reversed?
