In a recent article, a local civic organization has accused the Allentown Public School District of continued racism. The allegations were made at a recent school board meeting. Allentown Public School District teachers can respond by examining their present performance and enhance teacher student classroom relationships throughout the entire school district.
The teacher’s response propelled the students into a leadership position which will be almost impossible to overcome.
Black students use several verbal techniques to discover a teacher’s strengths and weaknesses in order to evaluate a teacher’s racial attitudes and locate teachers’ breaking points to help the students empower themselves in the situation between them and the teacher. If a Black student expects to rise to the position of a leader, he must know how to keep his cool. If he cannot respond to a teachers challenge without becoming frustrated and unnerved, he is not likely to have the respect of others or remain a leader for long.
Now that the Allentown Public School District teachers are perceived by students as racist, the teachers will have to first evaluate if student disciplinary data will reveal that they are racist.
Allentown Public School District teachers can use the Raccelerate Racism Formula to evaluate the racism discipline level in their classroom.
The Raccelerate Racism Formula and the Raccelerate Racism Scale are direct products of the Raccelerate Phenomenon. The Raccelerate Phenomenon has roots in Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that when one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body. In elementary terms, Newton’s Third Law of Motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The Raccelerate Phenomenon follows the same principle as Newton’s Third Law of Motion in that whenever there is a perceived infringement by a Black male against a White female there is an negative overreaction portrayed in the media. Specifically, the Raccelerate Phenomenon states that for every action that a Black male takes against a White female there is an elevated negative reaction towards Black men. The Raccelerate Phenomenon is the cause for many of the racial tensions between Blacks and Whites.
The Raccelerate Racism Formula provides schools and teachers a formula for determining possible racism against students in their school, school district, or classroom. The symbol for the Raccelerate Racism Formula is denoted: RRF
School Version
RRF = Ln ((Number of Students Suspended)/ Total Number of Students) + 5.4
Ln = Natural Log
The Raccelerate Racism Scale is a 0 to 10 numerical scale.
RRF
0-1
Not Racist
1-2
Slightly Racist
2-3
Moderately Racist
3-4
Highly Racist
4-10
Extremely Racist
Teacher Version
RRF = Ln ((Number of Student Discipline Referrals)/ Total Number of Students) + 5.4

As a final step, Allentown Public School teachers will have to shift the perception that the students have regarding their intentions.
The district should use a process that not only shifts the culture but also empowers the teachers to shift the culture.
Many of the initiatives designed to shift those perception are either in an information delivery format or alienate the teacher which results in disempowering the teachers. When teachers feel disempowered they will completely oppose the school initiative and eventually leave the district which will create a different set of problems for the school district.
Allentown Public School District teachers will have to eliminate the perception of classroom racism by promoting positive racial teacher student classroom relationships to ensure that the students no longer perceive them as racist.

Racism is a menace and so we’ve been taught for ages which is the primary need for a diversity expert. However, even in this modern society of today where we see a lot of colored celebrities performing on stage with huge fan followings and of course an Afro-America President for the USA, we are still in a phase where racism exists in all its brutal glory and has been eating away at the society like a plague.
Classrooms, are one of the most affected areas where color differences and racism exists to its extremes. Even after decades of progress and a lot of communal efforts at bridging the gaps between colored students, white students and teachers, it is sad to say that the disparities still exist and are just as pronounced today as they were back in the 1950s. Colored students, even in the likes of New York City, are attending under resourced schools or have been significantly isolated and made to be unequal in regular schools.
Even if the teachers are well-intentioned, perpetuating the structural racism that has taken deep roots into the fabric of our education system is a tough task and make the need for a diversity expert imperative. Teachers need to recognize the biases that exist within the classroom and also take conscious measures to address them and their own biases of course.
James Baldwin once said, “it is your very own responsibility to change this society, if you think of yourself as an educated person.” Dr. Derrick L. Campbell took this quote very effectively and straight to the heart and thus this Classroom Racism Exterminator happened. Classroom Racism Exterminator is an initiative that will teach you about your duty and moral obligation towards eliminating racism from the classrooms. This is where and how you will learn about what you need to do to produce a better society that is free of biases and disparities amongst the blacks and the whites.
Because we understand how classroom biases and conversations about racism are difficult and how teachers and students almost avoid the topics altogether, we have put together a range of effective methods and products to help address the problem at hand and talk meaningfully to counter issues related to race and racism in the classroom.
Diversity expert Dr. Campbell understands that it takes a lot of courage to talk about race and racism and that racial issues need to be viewed through a very critical lens that can understand and attend to the pertaining aspects of racism in the classroom. And therefore through this website we have made a conscious effort to eliminate racism from the classroom and make the educational system equal and beneficial for all.
We know and we understand that there are no words that can actually describe how racism feels. There are cases and everybody tends to deal with it in their own manner. Some might lash out verbally or others might just withdraw into shells. Whatever the case, people don’t talk about it openly and teachers don’t really make a conscious effort at addressing the issue. We don’t really know if our children or if the youth is learning to be educated or become racists in their classroom.
Our program is focused on helping children of color and regardless of their race, their full potential. We want every student to be able to recognize and reach their full potential so that they think of themselves as responsible citizens of their country and not regard themselves as worthless human beings.
Here you will find motivational books and flash card games, all of which have been designed focusing on eliminating racism completely from our classrooms. The books and the games have been consciously designed keeping in mind the American society and educational system. It is a small effort on our and Dr. Campbell’s part to help this society become a better place to live in.
