Yes, when the school defended it.Curious, a teacher does something stupid and that is somehow connected to being Woke?

In no way am I defending the absurdity of that teacherYou're welcome to defend that teacher's right to parade a set of large, plastic tits in front of his students, but I'm quite confident your support says far more about you than it does me.
IThe best I can figure is that the school and the school board defended this person's right to dress as a woman but then at some point the teacher pulled this stunt and interestingly enough there is no dress code in effect for teachers just students.Yes, when the school defended it.
the school board defended inappropriate behavior because they were too scared of the possible repercussions it would attract to them to do otherwise, it looks like to me. that is the very essence of "woke".The best I can figure is that the school and the school board defended this person's right to dress as a woman but then at some point the teacher pulled this stunt and interestingly enough there is no dress code in effect for teachers just students.
The board is looking at how/if they can implement a dress code for teachers. The teacher is an industrial arts teacher so the fact there is machinery involved may play in. The majority of the parents, and this is a fairly socially liberal area, are not supportive of what this teacher is doing. It has zero to do with"woke"and everything to do with a nuttter trying to get attention.
You don't need a dress code to fire a teacher for acting our their sex fetish in front of students, which may include involving said kids in the fetish.IThe best I can figure is that the school and the school board defended this person's right to dress as a woman but then at some point the teacher pulled this stunt and interestingly enough there is no dress code in effect for teachers just students.

Yeah. It was almost the same for me.I have no p[roble, with the poor at all, having grown up poorer than most of the black people in the ghettos.
Yep.Being poor is a good lesson. It teaches one humility, hard work, and compassion
I'm not very political. So I can't agree or disagree with your characterization.and I believe the left is destroying incentive and hard work when they force others to help the poor in the manner which they deem appropriate which is to shower them with free stuff.
OK. I don't think much about all that. I know jerks and saints on the liberal side, but lots more jerks on the rightwing side. It's actually hard for me to think of a rightwinger in my life who's a good person. There used to be lots of them, but nowadays?Being different is fine but not when you are doing it as a virtue signal statement.
The country has been maturing for a long time. I think Trump is a huge stumbling block in that hike upwards.I admit and agree that many on the right denigrate homosexuals and this is very wrong. They do it because of a verse in the bible. I am nonreligious.
I'm sorry, but I think you're being obtuse if you believe that I was equating the teaching of democracy with the teaching of CRT.Now you're just being willfully obtuse. Teaching CRT principles is not teaching "democracy."
Not really. The anthem and pledge are teaching politics, aren't they?Irrelevant.
Of course they are. The winners write the political history, don't they? Children are groomed to think that Washington was a hero rather than a traitor.No, every history class is not a medium for political propaganda.
I don't believe in the left, and I especially have no interest in hearing hatred directed toward the left.How many times have we seen this from the left whether it's CRT, defunding the police, actively working against immigration law enforcement? It's the same pattern:
- It's not happening.
- Prove it's happening.
- Okay, it's happening, so what?
But rightwing parents push school boards around just as liberal parents do. So doesn't that mean that you consider rightwingers to be woke?the school board defended inappropriate behavior because they were too scared of the possible repercussions it would attract to them to do otherwise, it looks like to me. that is the very essence of "woke".
Everyone on this forum so far has pretty much disagreed with the teacher and her tits. Why wouldn't school boards understand that many people are fed up with it?what they don't understand is that many people are fed up with it.
I agree with some of what you are saying. I disagree completely with the last statement that Trump is a huge stumbling block. there was a time when all on the right were exactly like him, which is for low taxes, a strong border, and a strong military. This was in a day and time when we didn't have 24/7 propaganda hate speech on TV such as we see with MSNBS and CNN. Trump just called out the new MSM for what they are.Yeah. It was almost the same for me.
Yep.

I don't hear that many people getting called out by right wing parents here until recently, when everyone started to get fed up with this lunacy the left started.But rightwing parents push school boards around just as liberal parents do. So doesn't that mean that you consider rightwingers to be woke?

The problem isn’t the teacher. Either it’s a mental health issue or some warped form of revenge. The problem is the tolerance of the behavior by that school board and the school’s administration. That is what you’re not understanding.In no way am I defending the absurdity of that teacher
I am comparing that absurdity to that found in your post, where you link that non-conforming teacher’s actions to a conforming community of people who are “woke“
That racism is inherent to our political and legal systems and that those systems exist to perpetuate white oppression.So can you tell me one specific thing which is being taught to our children which you believe is the teaching of CRT?
No, what you misunderstand is the supposed tolerance of the issue. As I explained in my post #78. Neither the board not the school is tolerant of this behaviour. They are working with Province to establish a "dress code" for teachers that would allow for disciplinary action for this type of unacceptable dressing. Evidently the teacher is an excellent teacher and well liked by many of the kids. I still can't figure out if this was a 8ne off or a daily thing.The problem isn’t the teacher.

Trump legitimized hate and disdain for honorable behavior. He directly attacked our democracy, our free press, even our Capitol.I agree with some of what you are saying.

That is being taught to young kids? I have a hard time believing so. I mean, we can find examples of anything at all being taught here and there, but systemwide?That racism is inherent to our political and legal systems and that those systems exist to perpetuate white oppression.
As you pointed out, this behavior seems to have been going on since last year. Why the delay dealing with it? Either they’re incredibly slow, or they were not dealing with this until the photos of this teacher recently started to go viral.No, what you misunderstand is the supposed tolerance of the issue.

Are you familiar with The 1619 Project? Are you aware it’s being taught in schools? AreThat is being taught to young kids? I have a hard time believing so. I mean, we can find examples of anything at all being taught here and there, but systemwide?
Why do you think so?
Of course racism is still pretty inherent in our systems, though much better than in earlier times.
As for kids being taught that "those systems exist to perpetuate white oppression", I'm sorry but I simply can't imagine any teacher saying that to a roomful of children. That's university-level discussion.
I always thought that "woke" is a rightwing insult against liberals. If so, we'd have to ask rightwingers what it means.
I did not point that out. That picture was not taken in school and therefore the board would have zero authority to act.As you pointed out, this behavior seems to have been going on since last year.

So, wise one, tell me, WHICH news outlets are what you term MSM? Please, no deflections, no ducking the question. Are MSM ALL MEDIA? In which case it would include Fox and Breitbart, right? Is the MSM anything to the left or center of Far Right media? Does BBC, Reuters, NPR, CBC, National Geographic or Christian Science Monitor or the like constitute the MSM.Trump just called out the new MSM for what they are.
Notice how the objection can only be expressed passively?I don't have an issue with this appearance being declared unacceptable
