Reason 27 to HomeSchool

The teaching staff won’t give your 6th-grader liquor as part of the graduation ceremony and then lamely excuse it as a “Rite of Passage” from the African nation of Ghana.

From Fox News here:

An Ohio charter school that emphasizes African history and culture served gin to sixth graders at a graduation ceremony and state education officials said they plan to investigate.

Four students were given a teaspoon of gin mixed with water in a ceremony modeled on a Ghanian rite of passage event, said Kwa David Whitaker, a Phoenix Village Academy official.

The ritual was intended to teach truthfulness, said Whitaker, who oversaw the Tuesday ceremony.

The students were blindfolded, giving them the uncertain feeling that goes with moving from one stage of life to another, he said. Each student was given a teaspoon of water and a teaspoon of the gin-water mix, and then asked to identify which contained water.

The students recognized that the gin wasn’t water and spit it out before swallowing, Whitaker said. The point is to teach the children to be honest, he said.

The Ohio Department of Education plans to investigate and will be contacting school officials.

Whitaker is a race-baiter black activist who is trying to raise a whole new generation of white-hating black youth.  I am absolutely certain that they do not serve alcohol to children in Ghana as part of a rite of passage.  But Ghana is a major marijuana distribution center, according to the CIA.  Does this mean that Whitaker and his ilk are going to be sparking doobies at next year’s graduation ceremony?

But black Americans who play with gin include black role model Snoop Dogg and Michael Jackson.  In Jackson’s case, gin is part of the rite of passage of the jesus-juice strip tease.  Sham on!
