From the article:

What in the effity eff?
quote:

An equity administrator named in the suit, Alina Wong, engaged in breathing exercises in one session and suggested White staff needed to hold their breath longer than people of color in order to "'feel the pain’ that George Floyd endured," according to the lawsuit.

"De Piero and other faculty were thus singled out, caused to experience discomfort, and feel ‘the pain’ on the basis of their skin color," the lawsuit said. Wong no longer works at Penn State; she is currently the vice president for institutional equity at Macalester College. She did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

There's more:

quote:

Another professional development video said that "White English… kills people of color," according to the suit.

De Piero's direct report – Naydan – similarly "instructed her writing faculty to teach that White supremacy exists in language itself, and therefore, that the English language itself is ‘racist’ and, furthermore, that White supremacy exists in the teaching of writing of English, and therefore writing teachers are themselves racist white supremacists," the suit said.

She also allegedly "endorsed a… view" that racism against White people isn't racism.

This is incredible. This sounds like something you would see in a kindergarten classroom.

"Okay kids, we're going to hold our breath now. Everyone try to hold their breath for ten whole seconds!"
"Timmy, you didn't hold your breath. No Champ Stamp for you today"

Are these really grown adults playing these games?

Hold your breath while you kiss my non-fentanyl loaded arse.

That should have been the response.
