The May 8 meeting of the Rockingham County School Board ripped the lid off a North Carolina state-mandated program that resulted in white middle school students being forced by their teacher to apologize to minority students because of their “white privilege.”
The principal of Western Rockingham Middle School has denied the incident occurred, but a vocal parent’s appearance at the board meeting was videotaped and has surfaced on YouTube.

White privilege is what a lot of blacks are calling what white people accomplish when they refuse to give up and work their asses off for what the get out of life! They should try it!
Fire the teacher. Only actual Hard Work by each individual, no matter their skin color/culture, will bring any kind of “privilege “. White privilege – what a Stupid concept dribbled out by attention seekers
Wrong
No one is forced to do anything! Stop being victimized by the studio people who lack the ability to use good sense and reason. Race is irrelevant !
Stupidity!
My children will never apologize for the color of their skin.
Stupid my kids don’t have to apologize to any body unless THEY do something where they need to do so.
I think there is something wrong there. I think they should show the training film to all the parents.
Don’t do it students!!! This is America. We don’t apologize for being white. It’s who we are!! Screw the school!! Where are the parents here?
What is stupid is the fact that this absolutely did NOT happen. Tarsha is a black teacher in an all white staffed school. She has been going through pure bigotry and hell. She loves everyone of her students and is a favored teacher. An angry child totally made this up! After questioning and investigation, that one child said it happened, while the others said it didnt. The truth is, the black and hispanic children are disregarded and disrespected daily. One teacher wanted to write a Hispanic child up for speaking Spanish. So sad!!!!
