OPINION:
Is D.C. Council member Trayon White really anti-Semitic or is he (and seemingly his seven staff members) now just poorly educated products of the D.C. public school system that focuses on black history and victimhood at the expense of other racial/ethnic groups and national issues (“The Rothschilds and the weather, etc,” Web, May 2)? There is no doubt that had Mr. White and his posse been given a guided tour of the Air and Space Museum, we would have been subjected to yet another series of moronic, pre-pubescent questions and comments about flying machines and exploding firecrackers.
Mr. White is no hate-filled anti-Semite like Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, or Women’s March Democrats like Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour. Those figures are educated and manipulative players who attempt to use radical means to achieve their anti-democratic goals, even if it requires isolating and demeaning Jews (and whites). Mr. White is the result of an education system that lacks true diversity and a meaningful academic agenda but is flush with tax dollars (per-capita spending) and progressive union overseers.
The D.C. public school system graduates students who are unable to read, write or undertake critical thinking and problem solving. “Leaders” like Mr. White who get elected by using “community-organizer” style over actual substance needed to truly help constituents are the end result.
God help the D.C. residents Mr. White represents.
