An Oregon middle school was exposed by furious parents after likening her colleagues to pedophiles and warning them they'd be fired if they refused to teach critical race theory.
Katherine Watkins, an 8th grade humanities teacher at Cedar Park Middle School in Beaverton, Portland, told colleagues during a Zoom 'equity conference' that if they were 'going to keep up those old views of colonialism, it's going to lead to being fired'.
Watkins also equated teachers who 'do racist things' with pedophiles, during an inflammatory statement that her colleagues were forced to listen to.
She said: ''If you're not evolving into an anti-racist educator you're making yourself obsolete in this field of profession.
'Our district is only getting browner and browner with our children and so obviously you can't change your melanin alright? But you can change your mind, so that you can actually function in a district that is full of BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) children.
'So, if you're being resistant I understand that, but you're going to have to eventually come to the light.
'Because if you're going to keep with those old views of colonialism it's going to lead to being fired because you're going to be doing damage to our children, trauma.
'And so, as we fire the teachers who sexually abuse our children, we will be firing the teachers who do racist things to our children and traumatize them.'
'So as we fire the teachers who sexually abuse our children, we will be firing the teachers who do racist things to our children and traumatize them.'
Watkin made the comments on February 10 during a virtual conference of teachers in the Beaverton School District, called 'Equity ABAR (anti-bias anti-racist) Summit: If Not You Then Who?'.

The counties in WA above the Columbia are Red state, and the most northern Oregon counties on the coast are deep Red states. Oddly enough, that describes the Lewis and Clark Trail made by 2 Freemasons.
Didn’t Adolf Hitler want more racial consciousness as well?
“Social Studies” has changed so much over the years. I have an 11th edition Britannica, full of shockingly un-pc comments about the characteristics of various ethnic groups. And I have social studies textbooks from the 1930’s through the 1960’s that would be burned in the public square today. You would think only geography is safe to teach now! Unfortunately even geography is controversial, just ask the Israelis.
The choice is simple: You either deal with and destroy 8th grade humanities teacher Katherine Watkins at Cedar Park Middle School, or you do nothing and deal with your child at the dinner table, inside your home, where the damage has already been done.
“Odd” that a teacher is making this claim when it is the Leftist educrats who are grooming children to be sexually experimental and promiscuous.

The longer this goes on, the more I fear this will end in a welter of blood.
Worse yet, I don’t know if it will be THEIR blood.
I went through Oregon junior high and high school in the ‘70s. English classes in high school were stratified into Honors English, English, and Humanities. I forget how many English credits were required to graduate. Humanities was a way to assure that pretty much anyone could fulfill the requirement.
I thought these Marxists were composed of pedophiles??. Go figure?
“Katherine Watkins is violating the civil rights of both her colleagues and her putative students. She needs to be fired. Immediately.“
Fired? She’ll probably get promoted!
>>”we will be firing the teachers who do racist things to our children and traumatize them.”
DO IT.
That goes for any Leftist teacher who tells children to be ashamed of the color of their skin (including white).

Sounds like another example of leftist projection.
Humanities should be arts and music.
Civics can be a localized year of “Social Studies”.
I wonder if they have time to teach stuff like that today between all the woke crap that they indoctrinate. I suspect that children are not getting the education that establishes a base for lifelong learning. (By the way, Zaire is now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo.)
It’ll be both.
Yeah, but, if comes down to a fight, it will end with mass graves for one side or the other.
I would rather avoid the fight (things are awfully good right now...), but if it comes down to mass graves, I’d would rather fill them with Leftists.
The fight is unavoidable, there is no peaceful solution. The sooner you can come to terms with that the better. The only thing that happens now is someone decides when.
From my time living in Oregon on the Southern Coast, I seem to remember the Southern Oregon coastal counties being more conservative and that they became more liberal the further north you went towards Astoria.
