Event: At Westover Hills Elementary School on December 2, 2022
(3:20pm) I experienced what can only be described as racial discrimination
by a Black school employee. The interaction was reminiscent of recent uproar
of a Britisch lady-in-waiting grilling a Black CEO at a conference on Women's
Rights. As usual for many weeks, Ms. Blackwell taking pickup requests
acknowledged me. Sometime later, she looked at me and asked, "Khloi has not
come out yet?" A few minutes later, a Black woman came out and said Khloi
had been put on the bus. She proceeded to ask many questions including why
wasn't I on the pickup list (I am). Apparently this woman intervened and
sent Khloi to the bus rather than allow me to pick her up. (I proceeded to
Khloi's home where her mother met me with Khloi.) Normally, I daily pickup
Khloi after school for two-to-three hours of tutoring if she
has been good in school.

End-of-life catchup: As I explained early-on to Principal Ms. El Koubi
and Teacher Mrs. Adiamak, my involvement with Khloi's life was an end-of-life
catch-up. Because of my wife's medical condition and my focus on business
interests, we decided not to have children. If I could not be a great father
then I would not be a father. Now, as my business endeavors wind down, I
want to know the joys of parening a younster. I wantr to be a great
godfather to Khloi who I have known since shortly after her first birthday.
I want to optimizing her potential to have the abilities to have many
opportunites in life. I also want (and have experienced) the joy of a young
mind grasping ideas, having ephiphanies and expressing eurekas,
-
Tutoring session format: Khloi's mother completes school homework
while I structure several areas of academic, character and personality growth.

Qualifications, self and wife: We came to Richmond in the late 1970s
when my wife accepted an assistant professorship in MCV's dental school.
I have university teaching experience. We are stable having lived in the
same house since 1979. Fifty years ago I set a record at the largest university
in Illinois by graduating cum laude in just over two years. One semester
of seven courses was ace'd for 24 credit hours
(transcript).
My
resume
lists many top-shelf achievements in diverse areas. Upon success in a new
field, I pursued a new curiosity. Some think my resume is a collection of
lies. Like everything I have chosen to do in my life, I am one of the best
tutors ever.
-
Khloi's Space and Purchases: Part of a no-longer
used computer room became her organization space ... Flash cards, Aesop Fables,
Letter drawing book
-
Behavivor Modification: Mantras and Targeted
Homemade Flash cards.
-
Learning forms: Several in-house sheets for Khloi to practice the
basics (Parts of numbers ... ABC's: ...
numbers ... Y words
... used forms)
-
5pm News: Khloi and I repair to the kitchen where I prepare a treat
sometimes baking a cake to take home. Sometimes she helps. We also turn on
PBS international news while Khloi putzs on self-directed learning while
I cook. If something comes on she might find interesting, I ask her to watch
often with a followup explanation. Once when I did not turn on the news,
she asked, "Are we going to watch the news?" Priceless music to my
ears.
-
Request: A teacher asked me if I could tutor her daughter.
-
Work Ethic School: For several summers in the
1980s at a cost of around $7,000, I self-funded a program for 10 high schoolers
to earn wages for 4 hour and learn computer and typing for 4 hours. A college
student managed. Many parents called asking if I could take one more. A
work ethic poster was created by the students of which
printed 1,000 17x22 copies. Governor Doug Wilder had one in the Executive
Mansion's lower level. He later took it to the Black History Museum. If
the work ethic is not taught first and foremost then all other learning is
wasted.
-
Non-Project experiences: I involve Khloi in many everyday activities
of a homeowner to which a Project Child is not exposed. It is not
out-of-the-question that Khloi might inherit
Chatwell, a $400,000 property from a childless
couple.
-
Trips, Train and Plane: As part of my wanting to raise Khloi's motivation
level, I paid for their first train ride, a day-trip to Washington, DC. When
I go to Europe in the near future on business, if I am going to be there
for more than a month, I will pay passport and airfare fees for Khloi and
her mom to visit. I was last in Europe for the Paris Climate conference in
2015. I first wrote on climate change in
1982 predicting worsening droughts with downwind
deluges. If you want to understand the molecular mechanism of climate change,
read
Hydrophilia. If you want to understand the range of changes
from rising CO2 levels, read
"Carbon Dioxide: The Global, Multi-Tasking Killer Molecule."
-
Nefariousness: Some might look askance at an fat, old White guy with
a young Black girl. Two thoughts: I am interested in nursing homes, not
nurseries. And, I like the smiles of others when Khloi and I go shopping.
In one way, I think we make a statement for a better world.
-
Congressional Run: An unexpected benefit is understanding what works
and does not work in the Projects that I will use in my 2024 Congressional
campaign. In
1998, I scored five times better than the average independent
campaigner. I will win this time.
-
Discrimination: I was always the smartest and poorest kid in school.
On the first day of 6th grade, the teacher told me to go to the back of the
lunch line for if there was not enough food then I should go hungry since
I was not paying for my meals. I hate discrimination, especially racism,
and I was a victim of racism at Westover Elmentary School on December 2.
-
Living is Giving ... Teachers' aides or Private School: When
Kholi's mom and I met with Khloi's teacher for a conference, Mrs. Adamiak
laughingly responded when I ask if she had a teacher's aide, "I wish." Up
till December 2, I thought that if my foreign venture (to sell my internet
project--see Brainbees) provides the expected high seven-figure profit then
I would fund aides for the three kindergarden classes without aides--about
$100k (I live simple like my heros, Gandhi and King, intending to die owing
or owning no pennies.) But, I may, instead, pay tuition for Khloi to attend
a private school ($25k annually). My choice will depend on the female racist
apologizing and explaining why she did it a la Mandela's Reconciliation
Commission. (I had delivered to the art room a totem pole that the students
could repaint with the school doing with it as it wants. I have another,
more significant, gift but that is on hold.)
-
I am not trying to make Khloi White but green, the color of success as a
human being in the modern world. Maybe by being a good caretaker to her,
my wife and I might get a good caretaker in our old age.
I am not interested in any response other than the apology from the Black
staff member. Ms.El Koubi, it is in the interest of all parties for you to
tell your staff not to discriminate against the litigious, old fat vanilla
fella who picks up chocolate Khloi Lewis.
Have a good day,

P.S. Crowjimism describes reverse discrimination by Blacks when abusing a
position of responsibility, e.g., this Westover Hills Elementary Black staff
member. I have an to-be-published website so named listing many instances.
When hierarchical within public services, it is institutional Black racism.
An example is Mayor Stoney's awarding without bids a multi-million dollar
contract to a close friend and campaign contributor to do work on the Monument
Avenue statues (which should have never been erected). One of my heros whose
picture is on my study wall famously said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat
to justice everywhere."
