Woke Crazy Mom

I have a friend who is a preschool teacher.

She has a student that packs disgusting and inappropriate lunches. The lunch consists of small celery sticks with blue cheese, goat cheese, kimchi, and spam.

The teacher made an effort to contact this student's mother, telling her that her son's lunch was very distracting for the other students and had an unpleasant odor.

The mother refused to comply, so the teacher sent an email telling this mother her response was unacceptable and that his lunches were too inappropriate to be sent to school any longer.

The mother has now filed a complaint with the school district against my friend for racism.

This is wokism gone amuck. A teacher wanting a student not to bring stinky cheese and kimchi is not racist; it is doing her job and exercising common sense.

The teacher isn't a racist; the parent, however, is an a-hole who is a woke parent doing a complete disservice to her child.

I feel sorry for that child. He will grow up as a prime target of bullies.

An article based off that Reddit post that has already been widely disseminated.
AND Bucky added the "accused of racism" bit. Why bother being honest when you're trying to score points?

Did she suggest a BALONEY sandwich to the parents?

Let him stand.
If he hasn't got either cheek, his pants will fall down.

Is that something you're prepared for? Are you ready to be underwhelmed?

I am always up for a good laugh down!

Which is a good thing since I have a mirror on the bathroom wall opposite of my shower.

I am given to doubt the veracity of the story. Who packs goat cheese and bleu cheese simultaneously with kimchi? That sounds like a terrible lunch.

That said, children should not be allowed to bring highly-odorous food to school that isn't properly sealed and stinks up a classroom before lunchtime, as it can be distracting to a learning environment to say the least. But as long as the food is sealed in Tupperware/zip lock bags, I could not care less.

I didn't know it had been widely disseminated it, but I read it at "AITA."

Here is the link: www.reddit.com/r/AmITheAngel/comments/11qse5b/here_we_have_another_ridiculous_school_rules/

Spam's too salty and no to soggy Doritos, but the cheeses and celery and kimchi sound divine to me.
Oh, yeah, it had been widely disseminated but appeared to have originated with that mother's original AITA post on Reddit.

I don't care much for Doritos in any way shape or soggy form, as far as Spam is concerned, I like the Jalapeno Spam pan fried.

You're getting a LOT of "woke" replies from the usual confused "woke" folk. LOL.

Common sense not allowed, 1 person must be allowed to disrupt everything for the entire rest of the class. Or its "racist". LMAO.

Agreed. Children should not be allowed to bring food (or anything really) whose odor permeates the classroom and disrupts the education process for the other children. But I have no idea if that is what happened here, because I cannot believe the story as written.

The problem is, when one starts an opening post with a blatant lie (claiming he has a friend who is involved in a matter of public controversy) then one rightfully leaves themselves open to scorn, ridicule and dismissal whatever the merits of the underlying argument.

Sounds like the OP's preschool teacher friend has the same dilemma as this preschool teacher in the story below.
What a coincidence...or is the OP trying to sound 'not racist' by turning a possibly true statement into a 'I knew somebody who...'

Good question. I am certain the OP will be right along to explain.

Yeah, that's not woke, that's being Korean. Or is it woke, given that this word has no actual meaning? Perhaps its both woke and not woke at the same time, achieving a sort of woke superposition.

Now given that, soggy doritos should be a war crime.
Yup...shockingly people from other cultures eat different types of food. This teacher was being a Karen, and I don't even like that term.

The teacher is a racist and has no business being in charge of children .
