[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. So much white fragility. AKA snowflakes.

Put on your big girl panties and read the book. You won’t melt.

It’s not the reading it, it’s the discussing such a loaded topic with coworkers that’s the problem. Do you honestly not see how a white person who disagrees with the book’s premise and says so during the discussion, could be placing themselves in a very precarious situation? [/quote]

If someone isn’t willing to read a book with an open mind and discuss on any level (even if they disagree), then that person isn’t intellectually curious enough to be in a teaching position.

I’d also be curious why they “disagree with the premise”.

Again it’s not the reading of the book, that I object to it, it’s the having to discuss it with co-workers that I object to.[/quote]

[b]Then just listen[/b].[/quote]

Well of course. But even just listening and not participating in the discussion could be viewed negatively. People will wonder if the reason the teacher is being silent is because they disagree with the book, and they would there fore be viewed with suspicion. [/quote]

You are paranoid and acting fragile. Do you see that?[/quote]
