District Hiring 'Whiteness' Superintendent to Root Out White Supremacy


The Saint Louis Park School District, located in the suburbs of Minneapolis, is hiring an assistant superintendent to "examine the presence of Whiteness" in the district.

It's a good gig, paying between $134,000 and $201,000.


It seems that "Whiteness" is a pressing problem for the district, which no doubt explains why there has been so much learning loss in the public schools over the past few years. Enrollment of White students has been dropping, with only 53% of the students being White, and as they have fled to other districts, the problem of White Supremacy has gotten worse, leading to horrible test scores:

In St. Louis Park Public School Dist., 55% of elementary students tested at or above the proficient level for reading, and 50% tested at or above that level for math. Also, 52% of middle school students tested at or above the proficient level for reading, and 37% tested at or above that level for math. And 58% of high school students tested at or above the proficient level for reading, and 34% tested at or above that level for math

It's a troubling thing, to see how Whiteness is harming minority students, and the district is working hard to root it out. As the student body and staff become less White, Whiteness has become an increasing problem.
