Why are 89% of Washington Teachers White?

Friday Morning Brief: Why are 89% of Washington teachers white?
AF: Maybe because more white people are interested in teaching. Not so many Congoids are. But I'm sure 99% of the 89% are committed to Diversity, at least in public.
N.S.: "The chasm can have lasting effects on students' success. As one professor notes, 'When students only see janitors and cooks in the school, but they don’t see teachers or principals who look like them, that is a problem.'”
The fake news journalist and the fake scholarship professor are both bald-faced liars.
If the percentage of white teachers is much higher than the percentage of white students, that can only help the non-white students. The IQ chasm separating black and white teachers, respectively; the non-existent standards, by which blacks are hired as teachers under affirmative action, and their lack of diligence (preparation, even showing up on time—“Colored People’s Time”), guarantee kids of any color an inferior education from black teachers.
When black students see teachers or principals who look like them, that is a problem.

Washington students have become more diverse, but their teachers are almost always white
School districts in some parts of Washington have only a few teachers of color — or none at all. The chasm can have lasting effects on students' success. As one professor notes, "When students only see janitors and cooks in the school, but they don't see teachers or principals who look like them, that is a problem." Compare the racial demographics of students and teachers in your district, and read the first in our three-part series to find out why the gaps are so big. If you're a student who has been affected by this, we'd like to hear from you.

Gov. Jay Inslee wants a new capital-gains tax to help fund a bigger budget that would include $1.1 billion for controversial steps to save the orcas. The plan also pours more money into mental health, education and the fight against climate change. "We're asking those who have done so well to chip in a bit more," he said yesterday. Here's how the capital-gains tax would work.

Seattle is sizzling as a hotbed for Silicon Valley companies' satellite offices. Apple wouldn't release many more details yesterday of its plan to employ more than 1,000 workers in Seattle, but some detective work turned up a few good clues.
