Stand And Deliver Parody: "Teaching The White Man Method"
Don't tell Edward James Olmos (or Uncle Jay). Mixed into a typically offensive and NSFW episode of a recent episode of South Park is a parody of Stand And Deliver in which the lessons aren't about doing calculus but rather about how to cheat on tests and deal with unwanted pregnancies.
Again, very offensive and not for the squeamish or politically correct. It might not even be funny.

If's refreshing to know that in these difficult times, there still those who can twitter and guffaw at the legacy of cultural genocide and slavery. You can relax, no one's ever going to accuse you of "political correctness" (whatever the hell that is.

Of course the South Park was hilarious!
Episodes like that rise to the level of The Simpsons. Which reminds me, weren't the Dixie Chicks great last night?
Bernard, if you are going to make it in today's high poverty schools, you have to a) "Ask with deep sincerity "How can I reach these kids?" and b) laugh a lot.

John,
I do laugh a lot, thanks. Every time I hear something funny. But thanks for the advice on how to "make it" in high poverty schools. Somehow, I've managed "reaching" and teaching for the past 19 years. For some reason, racism still doesn't tickle me.
