[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I don’t have exact statistics as PP mentioned the vast majority of teachers in DCPS are black women. WTU is lead by black women. These are the people you are calling lazy, selfish, and entitled. [/quote]

Correction: lazy, selfish, entitled “Trumpers”[/quote]

I don't think many of us would care if the WTU leadership was composed of purple and magenta striped bearded eunuchs in saffron spacesuits with lime green polka dots. Even still, that wouldn't distract from the fact that their demands have run in direct contradiction to the recommendations of scientists and public health professionals, including one Dr. Fauci. And it certainly wouldn't distract from the accompanying fact that their intransigence has shafted a full 14 grades worth of public school children out of nine irreplaceable months of what would otherwise have passed for an education and destroyed decades of progress in building parental confidence in the city's public school system.[/quote]

No, I don't think so. I used to work at a ward 3 (where I live) school but I was too sensitive to the passive aggressive parents. To be fair some parents didn't care that I was black, especially since their children were doing well and loved me. But I couldn't deal with the racism and prejudice. If you notice most (again most, not all) Ward 3 teachers are White, this is not a coincidence.

Even at my current school we had a few parents who demanded the principal switch their child's teacher so they could have a teacher who 'looks like them.' (White)

So to say magically racial issues have disappeared because of covid-19 is very naïve. I'm not saying this is the only reason, parents certainly would still be angry. But don't say it doesn't play a role because it does.[/quote]
