Can we please get rid of the "fun facts" about new team members while we're at it?
One thing that I would really like to eliminate all together is "protections" for people who are 1. Prior military (why does prior military job deserve "special protections"? are you a "protected" veteran?) 2. The Alphabet DEIs (why is what you choose to do in your private life and in your bedroom any concern of your coworkers? why do I care if you're gay or not? and why do you deserve special protection for that?) 3. Hispanic (this isn't even a race). Stop asking everyone if they are white, non-hispanic. Stop asking for race. Period. It doesn't matter. |
What special protections do Vets get? |
Agreed. Women at work should be forbidden from saying anything that would reveal they have husbands or kids. That’s disgusting! No one wants to know what you do in the bedroom. |
Asking K-5 to designate their pronouns is sexualizing children. |
Federal DEI training was doing that? |
How is it sexualizing them? |
100 percent agree. I worked in private schools and the "DEI" consultant was the most racist person I've ever met in my life. (I'm a brown person.) |
Because the vet preference ran under DEI offices. |
Just meet your bosses dim witted nephew meetings. Train your new dim witted boss is the newest “other duties as assigned”. |
well at least you are hostile and bitter towards everyone. Sounds like some DEIA training got through to you! |
and accessibility...and lots of vets need reasonable accommodations. |

We had a lot of DEI trainings at my workplace (public education). We had to review these "expectations" for all of them; this is what underlay the basis of all of our trainings and DEI "work."
Four Agreements 1. Stay engaged: Staying engaged means “remaining morally, emotionally, intellectually, and socially involved in the dialogue” 2. Experience discomfort: This norm acknowledges that discomfort is inevitable, especially, in dialogue about race, and that participants make a commitment to bring issues into the open. It is not talking about these issues that create divisiveness. The divisiveness already exists in the society and in our schools. It is through dialogue, even when uncomfortable, the healing and change begin. 3. Speak your truth: This means being open about thoughts and feelings and not just saying what you think others want to hear. 4. Expect and accept nonclosure: This agreement asks participants to “hang out in uncertainty” and not rush to quick solutions, especially in relation to racial understanding, which requires ongoing dialogue Six Conditions: **Note: The intent of these co 1. Focus on personal, local and immediate 2. Isolate race 3. Normalize social construction & multiple perspectives 4. Monitor agreements, conditions and establish parameters 5. Use a "working definition" for race 6. Examine the presence and role of "Whiteness" |
What? What do pronouns you use to refer to me tell anyone about my sexual preferences or practices? I’m not being argumentative—I really don’t understand the connection. |
This is such a lie (coming from a parent of k-5 kids). |
I am pretty much you, except now I am really really liking Trump. This is the punishment liberals deserve. I hope it gets much worse. |
