re: Indoctrination taking place at a public school teachers’ in-service in Chattanooga, TN

School board member I have access to is defending it. She is protecting her spot because her district is in the more urban area and depends on the votes from people who would agree with this presentation. She was supposed to send her kids to the public schools in her area, but magically won the lottery system to get into one of the better lottery schools we have right after she won the election.
Here is her BS comment on it.
Here is her BS comment on it.
quote:
District 4 board member Tiffanie Robinson, who represents several Opportunity Zone schools, disagrees with Thurman. She said she was disappointed that some in the community have misconstrued the purpose of the training. "Our teachers want to know and understand their students. Many of our teachers, fortunately, did not grow up in the environments our students are coming from. Understanding their home life and community helps our teachers better understand how to build relationships with their students and thus better instruct them toward success," reads a statement from Robinson. "Our school system is striving for progression and empathy in the classroom — the public has asked for this and we as public servants have listened."

Would it be OK for the school district to make a power point presentation on the increased chances that the black students may flunk out or fight more compared to white students?
Could you imagine if we taught students the dangers of “unreasonable femininity” like they throw out the term “toxic masculinity”?
It’s why I just shake my head and laugh at all the pseudo-academic nonsense.

If you go to the school district’s Facebook page, the overwhelming majority of commenters are in favor of the presentation.
This isn't surprising considering the profession is dominated by SJW white females. In short, think of the Huffpo board but on steroids.
You really don't see female conservatives in the profession outside of the rural south (of which Chattanooga is not a part of). In the suburbs, most of your conservatives are male coaches (at least in my experience).

Do you not see the hypocrisy in your argument?

I'm fine with this. I'm fine if they put up that slide about racism and said these are common beliefs about racism among minorities - even though they're false - and how you should work with such a child.
I'm far more interested in what the speaker said during these slides. More explanation is absolutely necessary.

Teachers as a whole even in rural areas of Tennessee are extremely liberal.

It's the default position of the Democrat party.
I'm used to it by now.

I'd like whoever made that slide to explain the Black Israelites. They literally want all white people dead.
To say only white people can be racist is BS.

I hate race baiters. They take legitimate, factual issues like police brutality and basic white privilege and pimp them to such an extreme level that people completely tune them out. Same with climate change.
People won't discuss the facts of the matter because the typical face of those issues is a fricking moron.

Has its roots in Marxism, which has taken hold in mainstream sociology.
The idea is you can't have "racism" without power which is ridiculous. Then, they redefine power to fit the situation to where black people can't even be racist when in control of local government.
Sociology has become nothing but a breeding ground for cultural Marxist ideology.

Skin tone won't effect credit or financial responsibility?
Uh... Too big to fail was directly correlated to everyone deserves to own a home...
A lot of minorities were given credit when they shouldn't have been this is a fact.
Minority cities run by minorities you don't think they can be racist people?
Get outta here with this garbage, people are people...
It's white people who are pushing this white privlidge crap, that's what's more infuriating than anything.
You don't like it go build your own country there's a lot of land out there go for it

It sucks for people to be profiled, but it happens to every race, believe it or not.
Whites "policing" each other is not what's going on here. This is a small sect of whites along with other races vilifying white people and excusing bad behavior of black people.

I fall in the camp that I do believe there is such thing as white privilege. But it is more often than not, misconstrued and overblown as a whole. Ie, its not nearly as deep as people make it to be.
Also, that last slide was pure bs, black people can be racist. Anyone who says otherwise just want to be racist without having to feel bad for it.

I agree with you, Chattanooga is a cool place with a lot of cool stuff going on. I need to visit soon.

Most of the real racist I've met. Were poor trash that barely got by. I went into a house in metairie that was a shrine to the third reich. Wasn't dirty, just you could tell they were just getting by.
I was uncomfortable but it was a job.
Oddly people open up their politics to me often. I was in a mansion the other day and they asked me how I felt about Trump. I said I don't talk politics to customers. They turned out to be the rare Hindu Liberals. Said last guy stormed out because they had CNN on.
I found that crazy but I've heard it happens, mostly the other way. Someone sees Fox news and quips.
I don't care your politics. I only care about the machine I'm there to see. And that your check or cc clears.
