An all-staff meeting for teachers

Hmm.

The first column lulls us into sort of agreeing, or at least not thinking our hair is on fire. The second takes advantage of that lull to pounce.

Wtf? Education as such, not particular forms or examples of educational practice but education itself, is a tool to further white supremacy? You’re going with that? You’re going with the claim that non-white people have no use for education? That education, all education, is racist and evil and to be rejected? Are you out of your minds?

All the rest of it is of course bonkers, empowered by the bonkers claim that education=white supremacy end of story.

    “I will sit in struggle and uncertainty and lean into discomfort.” Very struggle-session terminology there, almost Maoist.

    York Region Distinct is in Canada. Looks like Woke 1.0 still reigns unchecked in the Land of the Maple Leaf.

    If education is so evil what on earth are those teachers doing there?

    I am so sick to death of people with no real problems calling completely anodyne things “violence” or “white supremacy”. Piggy constantly calling black women “low IQ” is white supremacy. The shooting of Renee Good was violence. Stop devaluing serious problems by using the same language for stupid bullshit.

    Why are non-white people even in school if this is the policy?

    Presumably because the state requires children to go to school. I suppose they see the schools like the Christian schools that tried to assimilate the Native American children. Require them to go, then propagandize them. It’s basically the same thing the right wing thinks, but with a different agenda.
