Josh Thompson,
SPJNK.
Perhaps a decade ago I did several dance programs for a DC middle school, very ethnically mixed. I had some fans among the teachers because my sessions tied in a bit of history and math as well as getting the kids to listen and follow directions.

on the other, I'll take "white supremacy."
Of course, the whole premise of this statement is absurd and comes from a twisted "mind" (if you can even call it that).
Anything not mindless chaos is “white supremacy”.
There is such a thing as “Successful Culture.” Certain behaviors lead to great success. Certain behaviors work against someone’s success. Skin color has little to do with it.
But certain pockets of people do practice behaviors that fight success, and other pocket of people emulate successful behaviors.
It’s all true on its face, but it’s hard to change, so blame whites.
What did she have to do to get credentialed, read “Rules for
Radicals”?
A teacher is entitled to their personal belief regarding any
division program. The statements made by this teacher do not
reflect our PBIS program or the behavioral expectations that
we have of students in our schools."
So they sanctioned her actions. FAIL!!!
For millennia, hard work, self-discipline, self-control, following reasonable directions, respecting others, paying attention, learning as much as possible from elders and teachers, shutting up and listening, etc., have been the self-evident ingredients of success, across all cultures. This “teacher” identifies everything positive as “white supremacy”. By implication, he identifies the well-known ingredients of failure as “non-white”.
Could he devise anything more ignorant, false, racist, insulting, and destructive?
Are “people of color” furious with this “man”, or at least sad that he would undermine their children with such tripe? What sort of school district would employ someone like this?
This person “teaches” pupils in class...but apparently doesn’t know much about reality as an adult.
No education is better than this kind of “education”
That teacher has obviously never been in the military service or worked jobs in hazardous conditions. Both require a person to follow directions (or else).
