Yeah that was tactless of her. I think the Repubs are 100% making this bigger than it should be though. Like as a trans Pennsylvanian I am just tired.

It's good to call out elected officials prejudices.

Do you hold the school boards banning any discussion of race that may make white students uncomfortable to the same standard?

What does this mean.

That's a very reduced question with a huge range of potential subjects. Maybe avoid making a race in general uncomfortable. I can't think of any pedagogy that encourages that isn't designed to break down the student.

>She wishes to apologize for her poorly chosen words 

Not poorly chosen, she said what she meant. When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

All Cis-White Men Are Bastards, a bad play on ACAB which emerged during the BLM movement

Jesus Christ. I can't take this shit seriously anymore

Wow. Someone is a man hater. Very inclusive of them.

>any discussion of race that may make white students uncomfortable

wut?

History is history. School boards need to allow teachers to teach history. Period.

I am proud to be whom I am and those who do not like that can kiss my hairy arse.

You just have to laugh at this point. It really is comical.

How is this not a big deal? where do these people even come from

Gotta shoehorn that into every sentence huh?

Crazy that folks still believe a group is all bastards because of how they were born.

Very sad no matter the parties involved.

I tagged No-Razzmatazz- a Dr. Oz supporter at some point. I'm guessing "ACWMAB" was posted facetiously or to rile people up.

ACAB’s been around long before BLM was a thing.

ACAB has been around for decades due to a unchecked criminal and depraved police culture, which is worse than ever in 2022.

1312 = ACAB as well, in case you see those grafittis.

Imagine how big this would be if she was against voting for trans people. Imagine how big the dem's would make it.

The only real difference in these scenarios is the person in yours wouldn't resign.

When you’re so anti racist you become super racist

I think your comment sums it up nicely. Racism and sexism only are serious if you aren't a white male.

Horseshoe theory of racism

Cis white men have historically held these positions of power. You’ve gotta ask yourself why this bothers you so much.

Jabba the hut looking person

You mean normal men?

So any man who isn't cis and white is abnormal?

>that isn't designed to break down the student.

You're way off topic. That's a fundamental goal of the US education system.

Finally a Democratic willing to admit that they are a racist bigot.

GOP salivating at opportunities like this.

If she was a member of the GOP she wouldn't have resigned, and she would have doubled down, And they'd have Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz, and Tucker publicly defending them.

Isn't it nice Democrats know when to resign and say they did wrong?

Yes because historically “cis” white men have been the only ones to hold leadership positions. Just bc she’s using terminology that you don’t like doesn’t mean what she’s saying doesn’t hold any weight. Stop turning people who are just trying to have their voices as equally heard as the men who have traditionally held power in this country, into boogeymen. It’s not that serious. Didn’t realize this sub was so reactionary right wing.

Isn’t teaching an overwhelmingly female profession? By your and her logic, shouldn’t we be seeking out ciswhite men for these positions, especially because boys are struggling in educational settings?

Yeah like damn bitch put down the Dwarkin pick up a dumbbell

So true

Lol

You're an idiot

Just bc teachers are mostly female doesn’t mean that school boards historically have been mostly female. Again- historically, leadership and decision making positions have been held by white men. Period. Stop bullying women/trans women and others who are just trying to have equal decision making power.

The use of the word “cis” is what I’m laughing at. And yes non-cis is not the norm, the rest are deviations from the norm.

As far as race goes, i did not mean it that way.

That would be more of a shock than "nice".

Just vote for whoever is most fit for said position.

Nah, it's all too obvious 😏.

[removed]

Try re-imagining yourself - Good luck 🤞🏻 😊

Good for who ?

You've should ask yourself why excluding someone from a position because of their race and gender doesn't bother you.

When you have a Mentally Incompetent in the White House, anything goes 😏.

Standard-issue man.

I agreed with you until you started hate speech.

This is what happens when “vote blue no matter who” becomes a mantra. Research the candidates and don’t choose based on the letter behind their name.

No you weren’t. This is you just trying to avoid how wrong this woman is by nitpicking some made up detail lmao

She's still wrong. But now you are too.

Um first of all it’s “Trans People”- and they deserve to be treated as human beings just like everyone else. Second of all you’re saying that just because they’re a minority they don’t deserve any representation? Last I checked this is a representative democracy and this person was democratically elected to this position. You do realize that what you’re saying is Fascist? The Conservative Party has literally been over run with bigots and fascists and your living proof of that. Please examine your position and do better.

Boys are struggling because they have poor role models at home.

Half the population is female, so if a position that has nothing to do with teaching and everything to do with a bullshit school board always has a male in the highest position over the women that have higher education degrees to teach... then it's an issue.

That being said, she was wrong. Which is why she stepped down from her position.

You forget the /s? Lol

More blatant division from the party of the oligarchs.

Remember when the Democrats were supposed to the be party of the common people who worked diligently for everyone to get a fair opportunity to rise based on their own merit?

Now they just do as their paymasters require. Keep the little people angry and divided so that they are more easily ruled.

We’re he alive today Jack Kennedy would be a libertarian.

If my words anger you and you are a Democrat I ask you to search your heart as to why.

I think that's essentially what "anti-racism" means. What's also funny is when they call Asians "white-adjacent" to justify racism against them.

What is the matter with these people? She know exactly what she meant when she said that so she can shove her apology where the sun don’t shine

[removed]

No- a Trans Woman is a Trans Woman. Period. You don’t get to tell other people what to do with their own bodies and who they are.

Not really, and that doesn't narrow down the range of the question. Or negates the worry about the implications of the pedagogy method.

For us all.

Fucking Reddit. I forget that most of you are on the spectrum.

Try rereading my comment, but this time read it as a joke about the abysmal state of our actively attacked a defunded public school system.

Not really funny just a bad observation. And it's not really an attack if it's preventing the adoption of a bad system.

Racists gonna race…

My apologies. I don't want to harp on your disability. Please, stick with your therapy and get well. Being NT isn't all it's cracked up to be anyway.

The downvotes fill me with joy. The pos could just cut out 1000 calories of the 5000.

The the issue I have is, Individuals should be voting for the best one... not, oi can't vote for them since they are cis white male.

No one is doing that! People vote for people to represent them. This person was democratically elected and she was merely trying to say that she would rather see a woman, a Trans woman, a Black or Brown person as the head of the school board- bc historically white Men have held these positions. I agree she could have worded herself better but white men aren’t being discriminated against just because women, Black and Brown People, Trans and Gay people are asking for and getting more representation. White men are not “victims” because of this.

Historically, white men have been the only decision makers in our government therefore everyone who wasn’t a white male (which is the majority of the actual population) wasn’t being represented and furthermore were also actually being discriminated against. Anyone who’s not a white man who’s being democratically elected to a decision making position is there because that’s what the people want- they want to be represented this way. Period. Just bc you may not like it or bc it’s not about you doesn’t all of a sudden erase hundreds of years of history and make white men the victim here. Learn to step back a bit and let other people who may be different than you, and who also live in this country and contribute greatly to it, have their voices heard JFC.

Angry soul.

Try reading a username.

You are not allowed to voice the unspoken consensus!

I follow and understand. What I'm for. Person jusy really seemed to shoot self in foot with how they worded their thoughts.

Yes let's just beat them with sticks too, a little abuse, physical or psychological just builds character right?

You have a hard time with reading, huh?

How dare she be against voting for a cis white gay man! /s

In all seriousness though, it is good to recognize the hurdles that different groups of people have to jump through to receive the same result. But automatically disqualifying someone because of unchangeable aspects that have little to no bearing on future job performance is just lazy and counterproductive to a positive socially progressive movement. Shame on them.

What’s the issue? There’s enough cis white dudes running things. The last thing anyone needs more of them running something.

Those years aren't about now. Who was in charge in 1892 has no bearing to today. You don't punish people for "sins of the father". Or guilt by association. Those are very racist world view concepts. Just like San fransicsco only giving money to poor black people excluding white, Asian, Latino people. That homeless white guy on the street suffering from mental illness or some disability is just as need as the black guy, yet San Francisco only gives its universal income aid to the non white person, why they elected racists. We have this going on right now in San Fran., look it up. I hope it gets struck down in courts as unconstitutional.

Why is one person in more need then the other. Why leave one homeless when both can be helped. Choosing one over the other will a. Breed resentment and b. may lead to violence if it's kept up, c. Cause political instability, d. Is downright racist and wrong.

I actually see people on here that don't want wealth restrictions on who gets aid, only race. So LeBron James gets aid a multi millionaire but some Asian, white, Latino poor folk get jack.

You can't punish current day people for things done by generations past.

[deleted]

That's racist. We should be beyond race based policy. You vote best person for the job, or do you think black men should only vote for other black people, whites for other whites, etc.. That's a racist worldview and should have no bearing in USA circa 2022.

So you think a white guy can't represent a constituency that votes him in? Obviously if they voted said person in then they have faith in him to represent them politically. Your skin color doesn't matter, nor your sex, or sexuality, etc..

This kind of nonsense is exactly what Trumpers and Mastriano cultists feed off of. The Left needs to pause and reflect on whether they are just helping the alt-right...

Wtf are you taking about? Actual real people who are Americans are voting: women, Black and Brown Americans, recent immigrants that work hard and make our economy run and Native peoples who’s ancestors have always lived here, Trans and LGBTQ people who have always existed here (all of whom have literally been economically and socially oppressed since the founding of our country) wanting and getting representation, being democratically elected is not you “getting punished” just bc you’re a white heterosexual male.

You’re entire mentality is flawed. Actual Americans, who are citizens and just as American as you and deserve representation just like you, getting representation in government positions doesn’t take anything away from you at all and you are not the victim here. Stop flipping the narrative to center yourself. The whole point is for EVERYONE who lives here to have equal representation.

This is a democracy and if the people elect diverse candidates that actually reflect the diversity of our country then that’s what the people want. Just bc you don’t like it doesn’t mean you have to turn yourself into some sort of victim or like you’re getting punished. Just let marginalized people have more of a voice, that’s it. That’s what this person was trying to say (I agree she could have worded it better) and that’s what many of us are trying to say.

Furthermore, most elected positions are still overwhelmingly white males (look at our congress and state legislatures), there’s no insurrection against you and you’re not getting punished for being a white male-it’s just that more people are getting elected to represent actual Americans who are not white males (there are many people here who aren’t white males- in fact the majority of our population are not). Again- this is how an actual democracy works.

Sadly, I think the pendulum is beginning to swing the other way and we will see more of this. A diverse group still includes white men and women.

It's not doing a thing for me 🫤.

Clever comeback.

I learned a valuable lesson long ago. " I'm sorry" is a lie. You said what you meant and how you felt in that moment.

I think she felt like she was "with it" for using these terms and because she sounded as such no one would challenge her.

It's a compliment to attract the ire of a maskhole.

You are not wrong with your assessment. The issue here is that this person is advocating to exclude someone based on their sex and race … the entire thing that you’re fighting against. Being inclusive is meant to put everyone at an equal playing field.

At the moment we are wrestling with two different definitions of inclusivity: one that legitimately strives to treat everyone equally, and one that is “anti-white male”. I’m not saying that isn’t just, I do believe the pendulum needs to swing in the opposite direction before it settles at a balance, as threatening as that may be. But I also believe this sort of hypocritical rhetoric needs to be called out, and these discussions need to happen.

May want to examine why.

Then again !

Not defending her actions, but to be fair... she's just following prevailing the social-political train of thought that has been trending these past few years.

I wonder why she thought it was okay to say the quiet part out loud?

So when I put Ferrari badges & body panels on my Corvette, it now becomes a Ferrari?

What made her think it's ok to say the quiet part out loud?? 🤔
