If anyone has an actual example of a person in DCPS or a charter being shamed, bullied, or even mildly criticized for choosing to wear a mask, do share. But otherwise, let's not pretend this is happening because it isn't. We have enough problems right now, we don't have to invent pretend ones to get upset about.

I know it hurts to learn what the teachers and staff at your school really think about you, but pretending it’s not true won’t make it go away.

DP. I don't think you've hurt anybody with your troll posts. Nobody in their right mind would take anonymous posts like yours as reflections of real life.

I’m 15:43 and that was my first post in the thread. I’m a parent, not a teacher, but I believe the post reflects the thinking of many.

You believe that the post at 13:45 reflects the thinking of many? That was the post the PP above was responding to.

You’re right. I shouldn’t try to mind read and extrapolate “many.” But certainly the mindset of the PP and it seems unlikely she’s alone.

I mean, if Black teachers really feel like they are being shamed for masking, and feel that white parents (mothers in particular) want to deny them agency over their own bodies, I wonder if they are basing this on actual real life experiences of shaming, or if they are just ascribing this attitude to the white mothers for other reasons. Let's not forget that in reality, it is the mask *mandate* that denies people agency over their own bodies, not the mask choice.

I, a white woman who circles the internet daily, have never ever heard anyone shaming "Black teachers" for choosing to mask. This appears to be a story made up completely to create tension.

I was responding to this: "I'm not surprised white ppl don't care if they spread disease and make other people sick."

Personal responsibility and risk assessment is key here. I have fulfilled my responsibility to society by vaccinating my family. Because of that fact, we are done masking. If you haven't fulfilled your responsibility to society by getting vaccinated, go ahead and mask, or don't, I don't care. But if I transmit a virus to you that you could have easily protected yourself from, that's on you.

I’m quadruple vaxxed. I still don’t want your Covid from you nor your children. Nasty colonizer.

NP. Just keep wearing an N95. Problem solved.

They are probably the same poster.
