“Dinged”?

How is saying that being in the military is a privilege “dinging” the military?

It’s not a negative.

Discussions of privilege  never seem to mention any positives.[/quote]

Some people think that being in the military gives you an advantage in life. That may or may not be correct, but it’s not a “ding”.

Think of it as being in a good/lucky position.

If they meant lucky or blessed then the  activity would have said lucky or blessed.

But it said "privileged" which has become a pejorative slur that is synonymous with entitled and undeserving, particularly in public education.

No, it says “Identifying Your Privilege” which isn’t describing a [i]person[/i] as much as it’s describing their [i]situation/environment[/i]. Things beyond your control.

It’s a poor choice of language because it can be misconstrued.

Nice try but you are really stretching to find an excuse for fcps.

They meant what they wrote.  Look at the other words on that list.  White. Male. Christian.

This was a slur by someone like the acronym poster who is resentful towards the military.

That person should not be allowed to design curriculum, nor should anyone at Gatehouse who approved this lesson.

Military issue aside, this fcps document also disparaged the Christian faith.  No public school should disparage anyone's religion, and certainly not in a lesson plan.

Nor should they disparage a student's race.[/quote]

It’s not “disparaging” anyone to say that certain things tend to make life a little easier. It’s just a fact.

It is a fact that in our country [u]it is[/u] a little easier to be a Christian. A man. A kid who gets dropped at school. Etc.

Hysteria about military aside, these are not “dings”. These are generally things that make your life easier. Why is that such a touchy subject for some people?
