Apparently so.
In 2010, the St. Paul school district began a contractual relationship with the Pacific Educational Group, a San Francisco-based organization that tries to help public schools deal with achievement and disciplinary issues involving black students.
PEG packages and sells the concept of victimization, for a very high price.
It claims that the American education system is built around white culture, tradition and social norms – aka “white privilege” – to the unfair detriment of black students.
PEG believes that black students will only achieve if school curricula are customized to meet their cultural specifications. It also rejects the concept of using suspensions or expulsions to discipline black students.
The relationship with PEG has been costly for the St. Paul district, in more ways than one.
According to information provided by the district to EAGnews through a freedom of information request, St. Paul schools spent at least the following amounts on PEG consultations services over the past five years:
* $137,720 in 2010-11,
* $366,800 in 2011-12,
* $598,900 in 2012-13,
* $489,150 in 2013-14 and
* $285,895 in 2014-15.
The district also reported spending “matched amounts” of $132,072 (2010-11), $363,260 (2011-12) and $537,900 (2012-13) on PEG, without explaining what that term means.
Not long after PEG started working with St. Paul school officials, crucial policy changes were made, according to various news reports.
Special needs students with behavioral issues were mainstreamed into regular classrooms, a position openly advocated by PEG.
Student suspensions were replaced by “time outs,” and school officials starting forgiving or ignoring violence and other unacceptable behavior, according to various sources.

Spending more money to further indoctrinate blacks that their failure is because of white people's success is worse than outrageous. Not only does it increase the divide, but "legitimizes" racism and hatred by blacks.
Nobody told whites we had any kind of "privilege", just as nobody is keeping blacks from earning the same measure of respect.
I find it harder and harder to take these people seriously, as a group.
In a ultra liberals mind anything from shoplifting to murder is not your fault but someone else's for the way they treated you! No taking responsibility for your actions!
teachers - this is what your administrators are spending your raises on!
follow the money.
who in St. Paul benefited the most?
find them and send them to the gallows.
If they want to learn in an "all black" environment, let them move to Africa. Most live like animals or primitive humans anyway.
1:26pm ur 100%right!!! I say keep teaching them that it's not their fault. I will continue to raise my kids based on real world values. Like treat each person based on their character, work hard, and work harder than anyone else at reaching your goals. When they hear people making excuses like this crap they can thank me and their mother.
