A school in Illinois is under pressure to sack a long-serving teacher after she shared a series of Facebook posts including one that claimed the term 'white privilege' was as offensive to her as the N-word. A former student of the social studies teacher at Palatine High School said it was 'devastating' to see the educator, who has not been fired and is not being named, making 'racist, homophobic and transphobic' comments. One of the offending posts, which has since been deleted, reportedly said: 'I will speak on any topic I choose because I live in a free country.

“as I often do”. Does that mean you are buck necked, pulled over or both?

That’d be profiling, not some privilege of not being profiled; or not. Dunno. That term is so bandied about just like a black running out in a snow storm screaming at the clouds that white snow is racist.

Other day some woman was pulled over because she had her black dog sitting in the front passenger seat; not because the dog was in the front seat but that it was a large black dog - think about it.

Check your [so far] one-sided facts - I’ve seen cops follow whites dressed like hoods. Attributing anything bad that happens to blacks as racist but anything that happens to poor whites — oh, never mind. Blacks can’t be perpetrators, and whites can’t be victims. Paid your dues to BLM yet?

Bull Sh1t!
I can, from my own experience, tell you that being white and poor puts a big “monitor this individual” sign on you.
Stores, been followed. Police, been followed and stopped, because “this is an area known for drugs.” I know, I live here.

Cop: “Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?”
Me: “Couldn’t find any puppies and kittens to stomp on? “
Also me: “Mom, can you come bail me out of jail?”

Black privilege: Affirmative Action ensuring that you will be hired even if marginally qualified, over more qualified whites.

Black privilege: having teachers and employers walk on eggshells to avoid blacks calling them racist because they wanted some actual performance.

Black privilege: white police avoiding shooting violent black criminals because they want to avoid riots.

I’m just prefacing any conversations on race with the disclosure that if they bring up “White Privilege” I’m going to donate $250 to the Trump campaign...so it’s up the them if they want to continue the discussion.

I’m guessing this is totally made up BS. Someone at the school has a grudge against the teacher. The next schoolboard meeting should be flooded with 1,000 angry parents. Time to read the riot act to these Maoist teachers.

This is from the same school district that fought to have their son, who decided he was a she, included in the girls locker room.
Lots of Karen’s in this neck of the woods.
