Teacher’s Union President Claims It is ‘White Privilege’ to Worry about Children Committing Suicide During School Closures

...Additionally, Wilson claimed that reopening schools would be the equivalent of letting rioters storm into the U.S. Capitol.

“There are decisions to be made. You stand on the lawn of the U.S. Capitol as people break down barriers and head to the doors. Do you follow?” Wilson asked on the call. “You stand at the governor’s mansion. The crowd breaks down barriers to enter the grounds. Do you follow? Or do you choose a different way? We must not ignore the culture of white supremacy and white privilege.”....

“We speak of equity, we speak of care of all students, yet we listen and attend to voices saying ‘Reopen everything, I’m free to breathe,’ supporting white privilege,” Wilson continued.

“[Parents] complain their children are suicidal without school or sports. As a father, daily surviving the suicide of my son, I find these statements ignorant and another expression of white privilege,” Wilson said, demonstrating his complete lack of concern of the children’s safety....

No. Someone else posted about this incident yesterday from a local source, but the headline that source gave their piece didn’t mention the suicide part.

The black kids don’t commit suicide, they just shoot each other.

There’s that “equity” word again. In this context, WTF does it mean?

From what I gather...

1. Similar to equality, but easier ro spell and shorter.
2. Does not have the “baggage” of the word “equality”.

“Nearly 140 Pasco teachers have thrown their support behind their union president after he linked calls to fully reopen schools to white privilege.”

We have kids killing themselves, and we have kids killing each other, and a lot of it is about drugs: prescription and illicit. It’s not all just about the shutdown. Suicides and attempts may indeed be up due to the depressing effects of the shutdown and tensions in the home caused by the shutdown. But some of it is just statistical. Read the label on any of these anti-depressant drugs. I am not saying they are bad, many people are helped by them. But a small percentage of people put on them experience suicidal or homicidal ideation. Say it is just 1 in 10,000. But put 5 million kids on the drug and you’ve got 500 potential killers and suicides.

Then you have the war on drugs, which has caused illicit drug prices to go way up and that makes some people want to be the next Al Capone. Chicago has a Valentines Day Massacre every weekend and it’s not because they are crazy it’s because of drug money turf and vendettas.

None of this has anything to do with “privilege” it is just the opposite. We have a ruling class that doesn’t know squat, doesn’t care, and has even given up the pretense of caring about real problems and instead has focused on the symbols on bathroom doors and whether some statue is offensive to some clan.

It’s deeper than that. Equity has multiple meanings. For example, equity in your home is the amount of “profit” in its value vs the amount owed against the mortgage, if any. That is not lost on them. It is in this case a euphemism for “equal outcomes” and redistribution of assets. Not just wealth, but any and all perceived disproportionate distribution of any asset - schooling, housing, transportation and even political power are all assets in this case and “equity” in this context has to do with trying to redistribute what they think is unfairly distributed - without much real thought or research into why and how it became that way, or even how to remedy it. It’s pretty much straight Marxism cloaked in euphemisms.

Nobody should oppose equal outcomes. But everyone should understand it requires equal inputs.

Teachers who don’t want to be controlled in the classroom could become private tutors. It could be done in private homes or even church basements?
