I’m glad that I do not have kids. I would lose my mind if my kids were subjected to an insane teacher like the one that wrote that article.

this is tongue in cheek. Bernie isn't everybody's cup of tea, but he's an OG when it comes to civil rights.
This is him 58 years ago.

She specifically does not call him a white supremacist

From the article:
"I mean in no way to overstate the parallels. Sen. Sanders is no white supremacist insurrectionist. But he manifests privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel."
Her main point:
"I don’t know many poor, or working class, or female, or struggling-to-be-taken-seriously folk who would show up at the inauguration of our 46th president dressed like Bernie. Unless those same folk had privilege. Which they don’t."
I thought it weird Bernie was dressed like he was on his way to the post office more than a Presidential Inauguration (as did most which gave way to countless memes), but I disagree with taking that idea to a negative extreme like the writer of that opinion piece. Heck, Bernie got a million dollars (or more) donated because of the "weirdness" of his look. At the least, any privilege surrounding Bernie's attire during the inauguration is cancelled out by his raising money for the underprivileged.

Voice their opposition to a curriculum or policy is, in your opinion, an example of “White Privilege”?

What exactly were they teaching and which class?

Curriculum, for the most part, is pretty much set by the states, although local districts and schools have some wiggle room.
What exactly were they teaching?

It was a course on admitting, accepting, and learning to apologize for white priviledge. Can’t remember the exact title but that was the basic course description. It was not a public school but regardless, that kind of racist teaching has no place in education.

I figured any public school teaching that in SC would have made the news.

Correct. When they removed the course it was the end of it. They were actually gracious.

it's now "white supremacist insurrectionist" eh?
Now that just ain't right, man. Some white supremacists didn't want an "insurrection", and some "insurrectionists" were black.

So, a couple of tricks.
Feb 2, 2021, 4:39 PM
|
|
One, if you move quick on these types of sites, click in the article and do a fast CTRL+A and a CTRL+C. Then paste it to a Word document to read.
Second, just searching it on Google produced results of other articles discussing it. NY Post had it.

be said. The woman is a blind moron and exactly what we on the right point to when we say we do not want our children influenced by these people. When your only tool is a hammer, every problem is a nail, and this teacher's hammer is race and gender context.
And I'm annoyed at myself that I never thought of the "Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C" trick.

But perhaps that not a condemnation of her ability on her job.
I had a bartender I really liked who would spout off wild conspiracies and sometimes get in heated arguments with you about it. But he was awesome at his job and most of the time a good conversationalist.

They can’t help but jump In front of blacks who are using realistic means to address legitimate racial issues. All the while feigning some sympathy for the cause. Woke is the new blackface. Trust me, they’re not helping and many blacks don’t want them involved.
