quote:

A Virginia high school teacher posted a video criticizing the concept of students behaving themselves and sitting quietly in class as part of White supremacy.


quote:

"I stated that PBIS is White supremacy with a hug and a lot of y'all wanted to know more about that," the teacher said in the video that was originally posted to his TikTok account in May. The teacher was referring to Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), which is framework used by Virginia public schools "to support positive academic and behavioral outcomes for all students."

The teacher appears to be Josh Thompson, an English teacher at Blacksburg High School.


quote:

So if PBIS concerns itself with positive behaviors, we have to ask ourselves, ‘Okay well what are those positive behaviors?’ And it's things like making sure that you're following directions, and making sure that you're sitting quietly, and you are in your seat and all these things that come from White culture."

"The idea of just sitting quiet and being told stuff and taking things in in a passive stance is not a thing that's in many cultures. So if we're positively enforcing these behaviors, we are by extension positively enforcing elements of White culture. Which therefore keeps Whiteness at the center, which is the definition of White supremacy."

Yea, I wonder what they’d call the discipline at my son’s all-boys Catholic (boarding if you want) school. They can’t even talk in line or study hall, what comes after lunch, or have hair to their eye brows or collar…uniforms are probably racist somehow too.

Surprising. Blacksburg is part of red Virginia occupied by REAL Americans, and not part of the filthy disgusting progressive leftist cockroach infested scum sucking traitor whore parts like Fairfax and Loudon counties. Those two cockroach communist infected counties alone account for the once great beautiful state of Virginia to be a cesspool of democrat filth and subversion of American values.

Hope the piece of shite gets fired.

I’m having a hard time discerning your feelings here.

This is correct, but not for the author’s reasoning.

Today’s education is Puritan bullshite. We need kids outside learning how to work with their hands. Those that have an aptitude can continue with “traditional” college bound education.

Apparently most of the world are white supremacists since that’s how many things are taught in a school setting.

Look at these white supremacists

It’s not a thing in literally one culture. That’s it. One fricking culture.
