I am a teacher in a predominantly black school. I just saw the calendar for the Black History Month. During the "spirit" week, one of the days is "Hoddie Day" and says on the calendar "honoring the 5 year anniversary of the death of Trayvon Martin".

How should I handle this? Is this not way too much politics for a public school? The principal in charge of this is a white SJW btw.

while this is utterly (And i mean utterly) retarded and sending exactly the wrong message to impressionable youths, just grin and bear it

Give each of your students a bag of skittles.

Ask your boss if she/he is also going to honor a Kate Steinle day for equal honoring sakes.

I think you're making this up.

You could politely ask, "What exactly did Trayvon Martin do to deserve being elevated to the lofty status usually reserved for the likes of Rosa Parks, George Washington Carver, Martin Luther King, Jr., Frederick Douglas and the like?"

After the bullshite answer is given, you can then ask, "Where's the day to honor O.J. then?"

You don't "handle" anything. You shut the hell up if you want to continue to teach. Any even mixed response. You and you're gone.

If you are ok with moving or don't really want to teach, have at it.

Hotty - just ignore everything for the whole week; don't engage, respond or attend any event.

Don't do it.

Or if your maid to "honor it" tell the truth, how T. Martin was high on pot and "Purple Drank" (look it up) and how he attacked a neighborhood watch persons who defended himself by shooting and killing he out of control T. Martin.

This is really the most ignorant BS I have ever heard, Well that is until I hear about honoring Michael Brown. God I'm so glad I can afford to keep my kids out of the liberal cesspool brainwashing factories of public school.
