When The ADL Is After You, “You’re In Big Trouble”
The Sacramento Bee Suppresses A Reader’s Comment On Immigration And Race On Public Education
From: Steve Funk (e-mail
him)
The
Sacramento Bee's suppressed a comment I made in
response to its recent rah-rah editorial encouraging
more immigration and amnesty. [“Governor,
President Get Immigration Right,” Editorial,
Sacramento Bee, March 29, 2008]
Here’s what I wrote:
"Meanwhile, the Bee
news section reported just one day ago that
California is the worst
in the nation for compliance with
No Child Left Behind mandates. Could illegal
immigration have anything to do with this? Duh. All
those kids who can't speak English might pull the scores
down. [A
Steep Grade to Climb, By Laura Rosenhall,
Sacramento Bee, March 30, 2008]
“And, unfortunately,
Dr. James Watson was right when he said there is a
relationship between race and intelligence. The average
Native American has an IQ around 90. We have enough
problems helping out and trying to assimilate the Native
Americans from this country who do not have language
issues. We can not take in many millions more from
Mexico without serious
damage to our civilization and culture."
About 90 percent of the
comments were strongly opposed to the Bee's
pro-immigration position.
But the Bee ignored my take because I dared
mention the politically-unspeakable issue of race and
intelligence.
Funk’s previous
letters about Fox News bias and
Pat Buchanan’s misunderstanding of global
warming are
here and
here.
Joe Guzzardi
adds: The Sacramento Bee has a long history of omitting
key facts from the immigration debate. The Bee went so
far as to employ---for twelve years---columnist
Diana Griego Erwin who fabricated stories to satisfy
her employer’s (and her own) pro-immigration bias.
Columns and blogs I wrote about the Bee- Greigo Erwin
saga are
